And still the party goes on…..

Saturday night meant yet another party for Amy and I. This time in the glamorous location that is Carlisle for the Lloyd \ Pate leaving do. A quick beer in Woodrow Wilsons then it was off to Panchos Mexican restaurant for a bit scran. Mum and Dad surprised Amanda and I by announcing that they were paying for the food and drink for everyone. Top folks eh !

Needless to say everyone (epecially from the Pate side of the family !!) were more than happy to oblige by drinking their own body weight in alcohol. The food was excellent and the banter was even better ! Then from the restaurant it was decided that we should all have a wee boogie in Terminal One nightclub. Pretty run of the mill club with sticky carpets ahoy but with a crowd like ours it was always going to be a laugh. As more beer flowed the more Uncle David’s ludicrous dancing ability was inflicted upon us all. Bless his cotton socks ! Mind you – even that was eclipsed by my cousin Andrew’s attempt at podium dancing.

The Annan contingent amongst us had a mini-bus booked for 12.30am so we escaped and got on the bus back home. That being said it certainly wasn’t a quiet affair as Daz and I made sure Tony gave us some classic Irish sing-alongs on the way home. Top work Tony !

Back to Mum and Dads and, unfortunately for Daz and I, the whisky was cracked open. Between Daz, Tony and I we managed to neck the best part of a bottle which resulted in the two Lloyd brothers passing out at around 3am, snuggling up to each other on a mattress in the middle of the living room floor. Still fully clothed and in our boots I hasten to add !!

Anyway – thanks to everyone that came along on Saturday night and made the night a complete success, and thanks again to Mum and Dad for arranging to pay for the meal for everyone. It was an awesome send off for us.

Stu and Amy
