title	Nosher's Stag Weekend: Paintball at Emery Down, and Lymington, Hampshire - 22nd May 2010
intro	It's Nosher's Stag weekend, so The Boy Phil drives Nosher and a few of the lads down to the New Forest for paintball. That's followed by a hang-out at Sean's, a great Indian nosh-up at The Jarna in Old Milton, and then a few beers in Lymington. There was something of a moment as we witnessed a strangely-packed train leave Lymington station, on the other side of the river. It turns out it was the last-ever running of the old Class 432 rolling stock - the slam-door trains that used to do the sixth-form college run between New Milton and Brockenhurst. After various pubs, we end up in Lymington's classic sticky-carpet "night club" for a while. The following day, on the way back, we stop off at a pub Nosher first had a beer in at the age of 14 - the Plough Inn in Tiptoe, near Sway. First though, there's a photo of an Amazon delivery to the Taptu office of a few mugs, where the number and size of the boxes used is just so out of proportion it's not even funny.
