The world got smaller again
Cleethorpes Posse
The two in the middle were staying at our hotel over the weekend. One now lives in Milan, but remembered seeing us in Cleethorpes a couple of years back. Small world eh! 
 
Kenny's going for the kill
Dance Night in Tavern
Once of the sheep's livelier nights. We found the Tavern, Rich and Kev found these women.
Kenny and Ian are also there next to Michelle (OUTRAGEOUS BEHAVIOUR LADS!)
The invisible man dancer was rather tall
Dancers
These two girls we believe were professional dancers from the UK. Pretty impressive, but sorry, don't know your names girls!
 
Susy gets first glance at Kev's trowser snake. Rich is impressed.
Susy and Kev
This is from the Tavern pub the first night Kev met Susy and Rich met his bird (name?!)
Give it to me son
Russian Surprise
Flock with Russian girl (Katia) who we met earlier in the week. This is the Scotts bar.
Fingering?

This is the man who runs the Yetti pub. Totty's not yet had any of that famous Chile Grapper.

Not quite sure who this lot is with the sheep- any guesses anyone?
Now showing in Cervina's multiplex
Outside Labatts
This is taken outside Labatts pub. Not the best of pictures. 

Stories behind the pictures

The pullers?

Rich's last memorySo who were the big pullers of the week then? Well not much news here since a few flock members were already spoken for back home, however the two clear leaders were Kevin and Richard (a.k.a. Fred or Geoff). On Wednesday, we were out to party and went into a new place - the Tavern (half-way along the main street). This dark little pub downstairs proved to be quite lively, and not surprisingly since the happy hour was from 22:30 to 23:30.

Once the happy hour started, a resident singer got up on stage and way to go - everyone gets dancing! It wasn't too long before Kev and Rich spot two Italian girls and within seconds are there chatting to them. Quite an achievement since they spoke hardly any English and we spoke no Italian!

Before you know it, they're up there dancing away (for some reason the Chicken Tonight advert suddenly springs to mind!). Diary entries were soon made for the next night to meet in the Dragon.

The next night after we arrive a fashionable hour and a half or so late, Kev's Susy is there but Rich's girl has done a no-show. We were all gutted for Rich. Oh well.

As for the rest of the flock? Michelle and Jean are just into each other; Daz is saving himself for home; Aled is desperate to get up there but lack of mobility puts a downer on things; Paul gives it a good shot without significant results; Ed's mind is elsewhere; Rich puts in a good effort but was blown out. The only person to get anywhere near was Kev. So in summary, poor performance all round. Must do better next time flock!

Cleethorpes Surprise

Small worldIsn't the world small. It's not so unusual to meet some people on holiday who either know of our home town in Wales or live not too far away (we met a bunch from Brecon in the Grivola one night). However, the world seems even smaller when things like this happen:

Friday night, we met in the Hotel bar prior to going out when this woman in the corner called us over. Turns out she saw some of our flock a few hours earlier and recognised us. She asked "have you lot been to Cleethorpes in the past?". Well the sheep typically come out a couple of times a year - once for the skiing holiday and for our Sun newspaper holiday weekend break in the town of Cleethorpes on the east cost of the UK. This lady in the hotel remembered us from there - she recalls talking to Darren one night in a pub. She lived in Cleethorpes but now lives in Milan. It's incredible ... it's the power of the sheep!

Last year we didn't make Cleethorpes, but it's on for this year - watch out for us sometime in April or May!!!
