Back in 2008, my friend Mark and I were given the honour of being best men at the wedding of our friend Damo (who claims his grandma invented banoffee pie). One of the main duties we had as best men was organising the stag do/bachelor party. After extensive research (looking for anywhere with cheap flights and accommodation), we settled on Portugal’s capital - Lisbon. Lisbon is an exciting and vibrant city, with lots to see and do, lively bars and beautiful beaches nearby. We found a great hostel in a perfect location and got it all booked.
George!! You’re a brilliant man! What a great thing to do! I burst out laughing when I read the menu. This was all so perfect complete with a viable email address for Maria. I love the t-shirt and the extra printing on the back of anti-hunting Damo’s shirt. What a fabulous imagination. Poor Damo though. I love the photo of Bolungarvik. It looks like a great place (but not for those in their 20s!).
Surely no one is that gullible?
Ha, not gullible. Trusting!
Oh I laughed SO much at this. ‘It deaded’…. And that T Shirt!!! Poor poor Damo lol
I wore my t-shirt until quite recently when it finally perished. 😢 Oh, maybe I'll print another!
You really have an amazing imagination! This really made me laugh! Well done 😂
That's such a good wind up! I had so much fun reading it! You executed it beautiful... 😀
The most amazing part of the whole story is that you had 17 friends!
Ha, they were Damo's 17 friends, not mine. 😪

Thank you! I did get a bit carried away with it all.
I'm so glad I still had all the emails. It was fun to revisit them all.
Maybe I'll write a substack post from Bolungarvik one day.
You are absolute genius!!!! Damo may not think so, but you are brilliant!!!!
Thankfully he looks back at it fondly now.
This was brilliant. Thank you for the best laugh I've had in a while.
Thanks for laughing, Becky! Glad you enjoyed it. ❤️
The best one so far!! Hahaha
Ingenious! Laughed so hard had tears running down my face.
Amazing prank! Surprised you got away with it for as long as you did.
Me too. Could have dragged it out longer but it wasn't much fun for Damo. 🤣
Ha ha loved it! What a wicked pair of ‘friends’ you are! Enjoyed that very much George xx
Ha, that's what friends are for. 🤣
