A real party animal!
Drunk camel crashes party
From correspondents in Dublin

STAFF at an Irish riding school were forced to postpone festivities after Gus the camel chomped his way through 200 mince pies and guzzled 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 ***an, owner of the Mullingar Equestrian Centre in central Ireland, said.
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, Mr ***an 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."
