Also we have found the Kangaroo to be much better at producing cocktails that require shaking than the Koala are.


By the way, did you seen the size of that Kangaroo on door duty last night?

Can't you tell the diffference?

They are both grey, long legged and have a tail to be proud of. Moreover, when one gets drunk and abusive they pack a kick clear over your head ...

Last night's guy was enforcing his understanding of the dress code, which really upset the Fijian Rugby Union team. Until I explained that person's of a "sporting nature, or employ" are allowed to wear their national dress after 20:00hrs. He "graciously" let them in after.
I did note that said gents made "Quite an impression" on several of the ladies - as indeed they made on the contents of Number Four Cellar (Southern/Pacific Area Ales) which needs a total restock (not even the combined efforts of the All Black, Springboks and Wallabies managed to clear that much in an evening)

No, that is his wife's name, she stood in for him once.




Her cocktails aren't that good though but then again she makes better snacks...

Both have been deported by ICE back to Australia, they overstayed their visa...

They may have over stayed their Visa, but they didn't fly home on our dime.

Two 'roo went home. Both using the open half of their return tickets. One was the big lad who decided "being nice" to the Fijian Rugby team was a step too far for his moral code. The other, a young female, declared "she couldn't survive the loneliness of not having her sweetheart by her side". They were both fairly recent arrivals, and we will be looking for replacements. Hopefully more suited to their jobs, in both practical and emotional elements thereof.

Perhaps we should try these?


Nah, they'd try to wash everything before they serve it.

We did have a few on duty for a short time.
There were two problems, the first has already been identified - they washed everything before serving, by everything, I do mean everything, even the glass that had just been filled....
The second was, they wouldn't serve anyone unless one of two parties was present, I'm not saying who those parties are, to save their blushes.

Trouble is they would try and wash full pint and stein glasses. The waste of beer stats would quickly shoot up ...
