Stags + pants + dog leads = a wild weekend

Turns out Brighton is the second most popular stag / hen weekend destination in the UK, and after living here for 8 years I'm not surprised. Normally in the summer we do outside broadcasts from hotspots like the Pier, the Pavilion and... ummm... not I'm done. I cannot tell you how many groups of stags in dresses, or hens who I wish were wearing dresses, stumble past the Juice team, still drunk, at 10am. I've never been on a stag or hen weekend - believe it or not - but frankly I don't think I want to if the movie The Hangover is anything to go by.

Oh Scooby, not you too...

We asked for your bizarre/funny/inappropriate stag and hen stories. One chap went to Manchester and was so drunk during the day he bought a Guinea Pig and named it after himself - Gary. One lady from Newcastle came to Brighton for a hen weekend and loved it so much, she moved down here mere weeks later, despite recalling very little from her drunken escapades. Let's hope the traveling Geordie fans don't like the city too much when they visit our city on Saturday - we've had enough enough Northern invaders already (Guy Lloyd).


We also posed a thrilling QI-style question today... A 48-year old man was arrested in Thailand for stealing 10,000 of WHAT? That's what you call "teasing the listener" in radio land. The answer, unfortunately, wasn't tigers, as that would've been incredible. It was, in fact, pairs of ladies PANTS. Apparently, this chap has been totally addicted to pants for 30 years. Even worse, he stored thousands in his car and was regularly seen driving round sniffing the undergarments. It has made me seriously question the investigative abilities of the Bangkok police force, as you don't tend to see too many blokes sniffing pants at the wheel but hey.

It did bring back fond / vomit-inducing memories of Phillip, former Apprentice contestant and fellow pants-obsessive...



And finally, if - like me - you are a single pringle and dreading the love-up that is Valentines Day, then you should consider emigrating to Ubekistan! (No, Borat doesn't live there). In the ultimate anti-romantic movement, the authorities have placed an official ban on ANY Valentines-related activities or events. Not stopping there, the nation's Turkiston newspaper described the holiday as the product of "forces with evil goals bent on putting an end to national values". Not just goats, but EVIL goats. What on earth do evil goats look like?...

Good LORD it's utterly terrifying

With that nightmare-ish image burned deep onto your retinas, I'll wish you ta ta till tomorrow!
