Camels Gone Wild!!!!


As I previously mentioned, my handsome beau, Patrick, is in Ireland visiting family and friends for the holidays. It goes without saying that one of his daily things-to-do is go to the local pub and drink Guiness beer for a few hours while catching up with friends.

Now I know that Northern (occupied) Ireland where he is from is still segregated and sometimes still violent - so I admit I will feel much better when he is back home 'safe' with my crazy arse - heh heh heh. But that said, imagine my 'horror' that I have to worry about drunken morrocan camels breaking into pubs and guzzling Guiness - sheeit - even the CAMELS in Ireland have a drinking problem???!!!

And by the way: what the heck is a camel doing in Ireland??!!!

Guinness-guzzling camel crashes Irish party
Christmas comes early for ‘Gus’ after he chomped his way through beer cans

DUBLIN - Staff at an Irish riding school were forced to postpone festivities after Gus the camel chomped his way through 200 mince pies and several cans of Guinness intended for their Christmas party.

Gus, starring in the riding school’s Santa’s Magical Animal Kingdom show, helped himself to the feast while staff were getting changed for the party.

“Gus found his way out of his pen and helped himself,” Robert Fagan, owner of the Mullingar Equestrian Centre in central Ireland, told Reuters.

The 11-year-old camel, originally from Morocco, cracked open six cans of Ireland’s famous stout with his teeth after the door to his stall was left open.

Gus appeared well after Monday evening’s feeding frenzy, Fagan said, adding: “We were all looking forward to it, but you couldn’t blame him. He’s really a very gentle, docile sort of camel.”
