While the wedding is the pinnacle of the bride-to-be’s calendar, the Hen Night party beforehand can be just about as important for her and her friends. Whether you are considering going out with one or two fellow naughty girls, or indulging in a night on the town with a veritable flock, the Hen Night activities have to be planned well ahead of time for the greatest enjoyment, regardless of how cheeky. These are a few hen night ideas, as suggested by www.cocky-hen.com.
First, the oldest idea is still one of the best: the pub crawl. Find a local stretch that you and your friends are comfortable with and hit the pavement. Be sure to pace yourself: it wouldn’t hurt to inform the pubs ahead of time about what you’re doing. Keep a designated driver and remember to stay in a group. Also, don’t be afraid to pick up followers! You’re a large group enjoying the night of your lives, but if you are looking for additional friends, be careful who you bring home to roost.
Second, a short trip abroad can open lots of doors! Plan a trip to another country for the weekend. Maybe you could hop to different parts of Europe, the Isles or possibly even the States. The downside is of course the cost, but the memories of the trip will be cherished forever. Plus who knows what adventures you and your fellow hens will discover. Also, its a badly kept secret that we tend to shed our inhibitions when we know no one knows who we are.
While not as over the top as a weekend overseas, a road trip can also prove to be just as exciting! Travel to your favourite places with your favourite friends and enjoy some last minute fun. Maybe a local amusement park or beach you haven’t visited in a while. Perhaps even something as simple as a camping trip can be enough to sew those wild oats.
Indulging in some decadence is also something few hens can say “no” to. Get some friends together and spend the weekend at a health spa or resort allowing someone else to do the heavy work. Just the thing to banish of those pre-wedding nerves!
Lastly, something as simple as a trip to a concert or local comedy club can liven up any evening. Make it a evening of music and laughter to liven things up before the big day.

There are many obvious sports trivia facts that your typical fan could spit off effortlessly, as if it were as obvious as simple addition. Everyone knows about Wilt Chamberlain’s 100 point game, Rickey Henderson’s 130 stolen bases in a season, Joe DiMaggio’s 56 game hit streak, and other record-breaking feats.
Here are some more that may interest you. They cover all sports, and some of these are simply amazing. There’s no doubt that you’ll be pretty surprised by some of the things that you see.
During a game in 1972 between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the St. Louis Blues, the Penguins scored a total of 5 goals in a period of two minutes and seven seconds, the most ever scored in such a short time.
During a 1966 tennis match between Rodger Taylor and Wieslaw Gasiorek at the Kings Cup, a total of 126 games were played between the two. Eventually, officials insisted upon a draw.
In the 1971 Indianapolis 500, A.J. Foyt stopped for gas during the 14th lap. Amazingly clocking in at just 9 seconds, this was the fastest gas stop in the history of auto racing – and probably the world.
A man by the name of Robert Wyler, from Glendale, CA, has played as many as 1,000 games of chess, all through the mail.
Spring training isn’t called spring training because of the time of year it takes place during. It all has to do with the fact that the 1885 White Sox decided to practice in Hot Springs, Arkansas before the start of the season.
Almost as interesting is the fact that over 41,000 tennis balls are used each summer at the Wimbledon tennis championships. That’s a lot of tennis.
The most watched basketball event ever? It brought in 75,000 fans, and it wasn’t the NBA finals. It wasn’t the Olympics either. In 1951, the Harlem Globetrotters came to Germany, setting an attendance record at the sold-out event.
The first hockey puck ever used in a game wasn’t anything like your typical puck today. It was actually a piece of frozen cow manure.
Ari Petrof, from Sweden, set a record by staying in a sauna for longer than anyone ever had before. 5 hours, and 10 minutes. This sauna was 212 degrees. Needless to say, he probably needed a towel.

It is definitely a season that you will want to get, and you will probably watch it over and over again.
Now in case you are one of the rare people who have yet to experience this incredible comedy series it is a peek into the life of a budding Hollywood star Vince Chase, who is by everyones account a hot young guy looking for his big break. This series documents not only his life but that of his entourage as well. With the help of his manager, half brother Eric, Vince seeks not only to find fame, but to make a long lasting career in the lime light.
I have been in love with Entourage from the very beginning, however this season is my favorite out of all five. It contains just enough reality, and make it easy for you to stay focused on upcoming events. You find yourself laughing as you try to watch Vince mend the pieces after some of his biggest life failures. This series is also one that many can relate to while you watch Vince struggle in every day life.
Another thing that made Entourage Season 5 so great was the abundance of guest stars. My favorite of the season was Fran Drescher, however there were many other big names such as, Bow Wow, Martin Landau, Kevin Pollak, Eric Roberts, Mark Wahlberg and rapper T.I.
Entourage Season 5 on DVD is a must have 3 DVD set that will leave you laughing not only at the lives of these incredible characters, but at your own existence as well.

The use of clothes, especially printed t-shirts, has been a preferred choice at corporate events for a long time and no one can deny that it has yielded great results too. However, lanyards, the recent entry in the promotion toolkit is quickly gaining ground. They attract a lot of attention from potential customers, which gives visibility to the business’ logo and slogan, and that is why they are becoming so popular.
Lanyards can be a versatile tool at corporate events such as seminars, conferences and business fairs. The event can be made more interesting be handing out lanyards to the attendees. Along with the business logo, you can also have the name of the event printed on it so that it can even play the role of souvenir for the participants.
Lanyards, on account of being cheaper than printed t-shirts, can be a much more economical promotional medium. They generate a significant brand recall and form a positive impression of the organization on potential customers.
Lanyards, apart from being very inexpensive and impactful, also have other advantages as promotional items. Colourful lanyards are known to attract the attention of a viewer, therefore providing excellent visibility to the company they are promoting. They are high utility and can serve some important purposes like hanging an ID card or a USB drive from the neck. Moreover, prospective customers can carry them home for personal use, and this will create a constant recall of your brand in their minds.
