Close Encounters

This is all turning very Rock and Roll as Chris can hardly keep his eyes open and has decided to not drink as he is sure that will send him to sleep quicker. After and excellent meal and much chatting we grovel a lift off the Barnacle Busters as there is no way the guy with the car is still waiting as it is now 11.30pm.

We are warned its going to be tight but we will both rather endure anything rather than walk home. Getting a taxi from here we might as well pull our pants down, as the tourist special price will go into overdrive.

We travel back with Colin in the back and Chris sat in the from with one of the Barnacle Busters sat on his lap. These BB are gentleman that enjoy their food as much as Chris and Colin so the feeling in Chris' legs is optional.....We arrrive back at the GLORIOUS Ibis and decide to have a night cap so the Vodka and Whiskey is broken out. Thanks for the Vodka Ady (23 Bassenthwaite) you are an absolute gent and it made the evening.

Suddenly its 0130 and Christmas day. We toast everyone and wish you all reading this a fabulous festive season and pass out.
