Stag do plans and suspect abbreviations

DP is joint best man for a close friends Wedding in early summer and the stag is abroad next month. DP sorted the logistics of booking, chasing everyone for payment etc (there is 16 people going). The other best man has put together a ‘plan’ for the long weekend and sent to DP for his approval.

I’ve seen this because it’s saved to iCloud and we can jointly access that through the iPad we share to watch Netflix etc.

It’s all fairly standard stuff, but the final section is titled ‘expected costs’ and lists things such as a beer, meal in restaurant, etc, to help people budget. Within this section there are abbreviations, which I’ve taken to be ‘dodgy’ given they are not written in full and one is fairly obviously a strip club, although no idea on ‘MP’.

Ive got it in front of me as took a photo so have written out exactly:

SC - Ent: €10-20 / PD: €50-70
MP - €50 / HR +€30 / OWO + €40 / PM,SO +€50 / FS €100

I have already asked DP who said he scanned over the main itinerary and didn’t even realise that last section was on there and has no idea what it means. He also said he never has and never will step foot in a strip club.

Am I being naive to think DP was unaware? And does anyone know what the last part means?

Ironic, if you'd read the thread you'd have seen that was answered. 😂

I did.

I was replying to you. If you'd read it in the first place, you wouldn't have made a fool of yourself trying to be snide with me.
HTH

You meet people in life who will not share your views, you cant change them all

This is true but you can choose not to associate with them if you know they have abhorrent views before even meeting them.

It's been made clear from the email what at least some of the group will be doing. I don't really buy that the grooms not happy with it, it's his stag and his friends. If I was having a hen party where half the group planned to do something I strongly didn't agree with, I'd be cancelling the hen and rethinking those friendships. Likewise were I invited to such an event, I wouldn't go.

I would lose all respect for a partner if they chose to still go to this stag, knowing what's on "offer". It would be almost irrelevant to me whether he joined in or not. The fact he could still happily socialise with men who behaved that way would be enough for me. I have standards and morals and I live by them always, not just when it's convenient.

Yes. If a friend of mine announced they were going fox hunting for their birthday there is no way on earth I would go along to that. I also wouldnt swerve it and agree to meet them in the pub afterwards to hear them talking about it.

It disgusts me and it reflects on them as people.
