Hi Guys,

My mate is getting married and I have been entrusted with organising the buck's party on Saturday 10th November. Usually that's a simple affair - plenty of alcohol and strippers - except my mate rarely drinks alcohol and has been on a health kick for 9 months now, and specifically stated that he doesn't want and is not interested in having any strippers (he has stated this repeatedly when there are just the 2 grooms men present).

He is only 29 but is a pretty conservative guy (financial planner) and marrying a pharmacist.

He is into cars but Mallala is booked out the day of his buck's party for the Phoenix Motorcycle Club SA track day. There doesn't appear to be any drags on at AIR that night.

He is also interested in AFL - finished; Football (soccer) - Adelaide United play at Hindmarsh the following day, the Socceroos are not playing, Liverpool play Chelsea on Monday morning at 2:30am ACDT; F1 - no race that weekend; Cycling - I looked at hiring out the Super-Drome for 2 hours but the SA State Championships are on the weekend Nov 9-11th and we couldn't get him to the track the week before or after.

So far I have made the following suggestions and have received some feedback from him.

Go karts - he did this as a kid and isn't interested any more - too slow

Ten pin bowling

Mini golf

Driving range (golf)

Shooting range (guns)

Archery

Pool hall

Paint ball - We don't have enough people.

Arcade lock in (video games)

Wine tour - we live near McLaren Vale & the wedding is at the Barossa Valley...

Skydiving - Afraid of heights and had a total knee reconstruction 1-2 years ago that he wouldn't risk

Bungee Jumping - see above

Rock Climbing & Abseiling - Indoor yes (Holden Hill). Outdoor no.

Fishing Charter - He just laughed at this suggestion but I took a that as "Hell no".

I have also thought about hiring a bunch of scooters and setting out an Amazing Race like course with challenges where I could incorporate a lot of the ideas I had already put forward just on a much smaller scale.

For example:

Stage 1 - bowl a strike at ten pin bowling (Norwood)

Stage 2 - hit a specific target at a golf driving range (Tap Inn at Kent Town)

Stage 3 - etc

Drop off the scooters and run to a bar where they have topless waitresses and you have to do a shot/skull a beer or something similar.

By that time we will have done several small activities and can relax, eat a meal and have a some drinks.

Although he has said that he is not really interested in alcohol I never underestimate the power of peer pressure and from there we can see where the night takes us.

Issues with this idea are that we could all be separated, something could go wrong, someone could get hurt if they are not paying attention (most Adelaide drivers are poorly skilled).

Anyway what I am looking for are suggestions of possible activities.

And places in Adelaide where the waitresses are topless. They must be decent places and not absolute dumps.

Thanks for your help.

    • It really depends on your setup. Mine is 'accidently' more suited to revving higher. bigger cams, turbo etc. Plus my super long first takes donkey years to come onto boost, so if it will move my power band to the right, maybe i'll pass on this. i have a G45-1500 going on there soon which I suspect might make it more of a fat pig.
    • Yeah good call, I will endeavour to tuck that down when I rewrap the looms it’s pushed up by
    • Good work. I will say, this line circled however, will potentially pool with oil, as it's going from high, to low, to high, before heading downwards.
    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
