Hate to heap insult on injury lesbian features, but you're gonna need a hair shirt too It was a blinder.
Packer from start to finish, great mix of uptempo tunes, atmosphere buzzing, dancing like sardines (except Simon who I like to think of as the 'soul tuna' amongst us), friendly accommodating bar staff, birthday boys & girls suitably spoilt, old friends coming out of the woodwork, new friends absolutely charming, and wall to wall crumpet*.
*OK, so I lied about that bit.
Happy birthdays to Stevie Sawdust, Angie Lawrence (who looked amazing) and the lovely Sonia who we refuse to believe is actually 50. Woody I think you escaped a birthday snog from me - be afraid, be very afraid I apologise to everyone I spoke complete arse & parsley to - but in the talking bollocks Olympics, Kev H you definitely steal the gold. For future reference Kev, no I don't think the baked potato thread is a good idea, and I have no desire to discuss what sort of filling I prefer. Pervert, lol.
I took a million pictures, but I'm just in Photoshop applying the red eye reduction, checked shirt filter, shiny pate suppressor, Diddy & Willie resizer, gurn rectifier & sequin glare minimiser. I may be some time.
A fine job overall done by that DJ chap that looks like a young Yul Brynner, and Sean 'I was hardly nervous at all about the whole thing' Haydon. The only criticisms I would make were that there wasn't enough room, there was no Babycham on draught, and the ladies toilets need to be less like Stalag 17 to escape from. At least the first of those is a problem of success, so pat yourselves on the back and apply to Burnley Council for planning permission to extend.
I'll leave you with the quote of the night from a young male member of bar staff chatting outside... "Have you seen all the old folks in there? They're bang on one having a brilliant time. By heck I hope I'm like that when I get to 70 too!"
