Confessions of the Sheep/Beef Cattle/Pig Addicts

'For an angel' by Paul Van Dyk, remember being in Cream@amnesia in Ibiza when that came on in 1999. No wonder my short term memory is not what it might be. Spent 20 minutes today looking for calving/lambing book, castration pliers, ear taggers etc.
I never made it to Ibiza I go to Magaluf with the lads now though even though they are all 10/20 years younger usually last in on a morning
Think it was Blackpool for me back then

Funnily enough, we are going to Ibiza in July with family/friends. I won't try what I did in 98 and 99, would be dead by Wednesday, I would think. The spirit is more than willing here but didn't have wife and kids to face up to then, or heart tablets to take!
 
Curling probably a useful reply, reckon he would be put on ice anyway!

I've heard of BCM, is the Red Lion a pub on the main drag?
Yes Red loin plays catchy music has some pleasant company inside and out good crowd in there
BCM not really my cup of tea big club carry on more your Mitsubishi Turbo disco biscuit place less crack with folks

From what I've heard, some the big clubs I knew in Ibiza have shut now. Different job, going with wife and family. Mind you, one of the company is a big noise on the music scene. Any excuse and I'll be off into the night but questions to answer now...

We went to Benidorm after lambing last year with a mate and his mrs went out think we were there three nights a long weekend had a good few drinks on the first 2 days /nights just went into Tiki beach bar Neptunes and such like it was a good laugh a bit of a different aspect to life for a couple of days
I never went anywhere for 25/30 years so quite happy to have a look off now
