The time has come. I, for one, am bloody looking forward to it!!!!!
The itinery is as follows:
Friday
1030 – meet at easyjet checkin desks in Gatwick South.
1210-1540 – flight Gatwick to Valencia
2100 – France vs Argentina. We have a venue – Paul / John, it might be worth your while checking this place out to make sure it is a decent spot for the final.
Saturday
1300-1700 – we are being picked up at our hotel to be taken to a paintball site. All gear, including overalls will be provided. Bring some shorts / trousers to wear under the overalls and some trainers.
2100 – England vs France
Sunday
1230 – Weather permitting we will go to the beach for a paella feast.
1600 – return to airport
1750 - 1915 – flight Valencia to Gatwick
A final reminder to ensure that you bring your passports.
The money did not quite stretch far enough to cover airport transfers so we will be getting cabs - cheaper than transfer options anyway.
I have ticket details, so do not worry about them. one thing you need to know is that we can only check in one bag.
John / Paul – we will call you when we get there. I suggest we meet at hotel around 1730 on Friday?
If anyone has any other questions, let me know.
See you Friday,

32 days to go....
Yes, we have less than 5 weeks to go. I booked the hotel last week - the details are to the right. It is a 3* place which is right in the centre of town; perfect for drinking and stumbling home. The beach and Americas Cup harbour are only a short tube ride away and a buffet breakfast is included... all that for the bargain price of under £40 per person per night.
I have also posted the flight details. We will aim to meet at Gatwick around 11am on Friday 19 October and should be back at Gatwick on Sunday evening at 715pm. I will be in touch soon to make sure I have all of your personal details correct but in the meanwhile we need to collect any final thoughts on the Stag's outfit.
Also, given I have not seen some of you in a while, can you please let me know what size t-shirt you would wear..... either comment on the blog or drop me an email.
One final thing.... thanks to all who have sent me the 2nd wad of cash. A gentle reminder to those who have not yet done so.
Cheers

First and foremost, I resigned earlier this week!! Wehey!! If noone has resigned for a while, I highly recommend it. It can be a very liberating experience!
It is great to see so much interest in the Stag's outfit. In the official poll we have Matador out in front closely following in joint second by Paella Especiall and Flamenco. Fortunately none of you think dressing him like a gary is going to be amusing and consequently Linekar's Bar has still to get off the mark.
I came across this gag the other day and it amused me..
Three newly married men were sitting in a bar together bragging how they had given their new wives housework duties.
The first man had married a woman from Albania. He bragged that he had told his wife she was to do all the washing up, laundry, dusting and cleaning in the house. He said that on the first day he didn’t see anything but on the second day he came home to a clean house, the dishes were all washed and put away and the laundry too had been done.
The second man had married a woman from the Ukraine. He bragged that he had given his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, washing up and the cooking. He told them that the first day he did not see any results but the next day it was better. By the third day his house was clean, the dishes were done, and he had a huge dinner on the table.
The third man married a girl from Liverpool. He boasted that he told his wife that her duties were to keep the house clean, the dishes washed, the lawn mowed, the laundry done and hot meals on the table for every meal. He said that on the first day he did not see anything, the second day he still did not see anything, but by the third day most of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye.

Some More Outfit Suggestions .......
When Buckers eats a Banana ......
I would like the Paella Especial......
To continue Alan's Nautical Theme - "Who's a pretty boy then?"
Tuesday, 7 August 2007
Oh flower of Oz...
Buckers used to like singing 'Oh flower of Scotland' during the 6 Nations ... maybe he should wear this ...
But given his current residence, may this would be more appropriate ...
In fact, given their only £4, maybe we should all have one!!

Lofty vs Oo Arr
I see "Lofty" has accepted my invitation to post on buckersthestag. In case you are wondering why the dickhead on Eastenders who was married to that bird from Grange Hill is interested in our European vacation, Lofty is better known to those of you who joined me on my Stag as "OO ARR".
Despite Lofty being slightly more politically correct than Oo Arr, I am not convinced it is more appropriate. I would like to invite Oo Arr to argue his case ....
Bonehead those outfits are inspired. I personally currently favour the gay pirate, but the cake is a beauty. I am not sure the Stag would need the fake breasts though... maybe just a pair of speedos with the cake around his waste.

Another theme suggestion
Given Valencia's recent hosting of the Americas Cup and young Buckley's penchant for a life on on the ocean wave perhaps a nautical theme would be appropriate? Pirates of the Mediterranean perhaps? We could dress him as a gay pirate and get a blow up parrot sex doll for his shoulder?

Valencia... 19 - 21 October 2007
Gentlemen
Consider this a journal of the remaining weeks until buckers hands in his notice and Paul Buckley the husband emerges from a church just outside Southampton.
It is our job to make the most of the final few weeks of buckers' time as a single gentleman and to ensure that we have a monstrously good time on our European vacation.
Obviously you are all aware that the destination is Valencia. Specifics of accomodation, activities and drinking venues will be discussed and posted here, at buckersthestag.
A decision has to be made on the method of buckers' rise to Stagdom. The buckersthestag poll is here to gauge opinion on a theme for the Stag during the course of our weekend.
Do not hold back on suggestions for the weekend or for sites which could qualify for the "Stag's Links".
And remember,
"dieciocho cervezas por favor, y una bolsa de grano para nuestro ciervo"
