Quote: The Sunday Times "The real frightener for best men isn't the stag do, it's the speech. There is information on the net that can help you, but the best of the lot is www.thebestmanspeech.com As well as the templates, there are thousands of gags and lines to use and to avoid. The site is a repository of reassuring hints."
