How was Jurys? Any hassle with casuing noise etc. Heard they can be pretty tight in that regard. Shouldn't affect us too much, thrashing hotel rooms never my thing!

Got back on Saturday from Newcastle on Sunday...Top, top spot.

Massive two day drinking session and had a blast the whole two days/nights.

As good a spot as I've been to for stag party. Massive choice of venues and all are busy. Buffalo's a right good spot to end a night.

Beehive during the day for a good drink in a local type pub. It was rammed most of the day.

Will return at some stage I hope to see the other few hundred pubs we missed.

one of the many highlights was going on the cruise on the tyne..... and it was the cheapest round of drinks ! (we were dressed as sailors)

During the day we drank in a pub called the Beehive in the city centre, in Grassmarket. A real old style pub, good mix of locals and visitors and a good atmosphere in it. Drink very cheap as well. Its by no means an upmarket type of pub, more a rough and ready local with very friendly staff and locals.
