My mistake came early, really
I went down to the Monte Carlo early-ish ahead of the stag do revelries
There, in the bar were Ger and Ger junior
"Drink Tighty?"
It was 3pm
"Yes thanks Ger"
It"s now 5am. I might not be completely sober
Anyway, having spent the early hours of the session befriending the most stunning El Salvadorian waitress, it all went downhill from there really. Sadly my attempts to persuade Miss El Salvador to stag failed, but not after many attempts to dredge up from the corner of my mind three facts about El Salvador to impress her with. The Duke was no help. It was like the old game "Name five famous Belgians", only Central American Stylee.
We went to the Diablos Mexican and were gradually joined by Hawaiian shirted APATers before wending our way to the pub and then by cab to the exotically named Frankies Tiki bar, which was right up past the stratosphere in the North end of town.
The bar, obviously Hawaiian themed was once a dive bar with no clientele. The owner had closed down, refurbed and re-opened. With the help of some advertising and a few guide book mentions, he was now confronted by APAT.
I think APAT won. Or lost. but only after the entire cocktail list was consumed. By HoldorFold, Laxie and AndrewT.
I think at one point I strode up to curlarge, busily chatting away to Supernova, and said
"I have just had one of those double rum ****ers. Now I want a Green Gasser"
(Green Gasser: Rum, 150 Proof rum, some sort of fruit juice, lucozade and some rum)
Next to me Paullie D, looking like a mafia boss crossed with Timmy Mallett on Wackaday, opined
"I am four sheets to the wind, Tighty"
I"ll see your four and make it five sheets to the wind, Paullie
I can"t quite remember what else I did, though I am not sure the lady at the end playing video poker who reminded me of Kate Winslett particularly wants to meet me again, but soon the assembled throng were off to an Irish bar, a few lads were off to a strip club and I content censored by moderator and something else inserted taxied back to the IP for an early night ahead of the tournament today
It was a stag do notable for the stag not turning up, but the bride turning up, by the way.
Score, Vegas 2 (Tighty didn"t manage to say no to the food and the drink), Tighty 2 (Tighty did manage to say no to girls and gambling)
Anyway, I had better try to get some more sleep
1am local for the APAT comp and I am nervous....lots of word of mouth about the comp over here, everyone mentioning it to locals across the tables, to cab drivers lol. Richard Offless has apparently persuaded some of a 90- strong party of Liverpudlians staying in the Luxor to come along. Thanks Rich.
So I am nervous, lets hope it goes well. Lets hope that some of the APAT regs are conscious enough to show up.
