Reference :- During a lull in the world news , The Sky Reply decided to run a story about events at the Kooralya Pub . And the pending court case .
Usually there is not much news to report from Kooralya . Except for the regular devastating droughts and uncontrollable infernos , not a lot happens out our way .
Recently however , everybody in town has been talking about the dodgy barman who was sacked from the Kooralya pub . His name is Ronald , and since he has been whiningly out of sorts lately , we have nick-named him Ronald Grump .
Anyway , here's what happened . Ronald ran the bar for a few years. Soon after he got the job , he started giving free beers to those he owed favors . The publican didn't know this was happening , and Ronald kept telling him the Kooralya pub was more popular than ever , and profits were soaring . But when the overdraft on the business account showed the opposite , the publican looked past Ronald's lies. He then discovered the free beer racket , plus a fingers in the till racket , and the fact that Ronald hadn't been deducting his PAYE tax from his monthly wage . Ronald was sacked on the spot .
But Ronald needs to keep providing free beers for favors , since he owes a few hard men quite a lot of spondula , especially his bookie . And he is also heavily in debt to a blonde haired lady called Cherish who rents an upstairs room at the pub . So Ronald decided to get the local bikies to come to the pub and force the publican to keep him on as barman .
Things got out of hand . The bar was trashed , and the local cop ended up sustaining a broken jaw .
Next month there will be a court case . Ronald says the hearing will be a farce , since he doesn't even work at the pub anymore .
" They can't fire me if I don't work there anymore " , Ronald said .
The cops say that has nothing to do with being charged for provoking a civil disturbance .
It's all pretty exciting for a quiet little town like Kooralya , though obviously one would never encounter such shabby behavior in the marbled halls of global power .
But one thing I can't understand is ..... why has nobody ever introduced me to Cherish ?
Your comrade , Ken
