Drinking the pub dry

Drinking the pub dry

Dear Roger,

Gidday. This letter was originally supposed to discuss the economic implications of the recent devaluing of the basic economic dollar. However I was forced to give it away on account of how, like so many other people who would but admit it, I don't know a bugger about devaluation or economics (except that one dollar will still buy two jugs).

Which brings me to the subject of this letter.

It has recently been brought to my attention by my mate Trevor, that there are some subversive rumblings of discontent around this university as to the poor condition of the social life — or to put it bluntly the total lack of it. I must warn those involved that names have been recorded and appropriate measures will be taken against those who are responsible. Let me tell you, this is just not true — why just the other day I saw Five people enjoying themselves and I swear they hadn't even been drinking!

But for the small minority who feel they are in the right, my mate Trev and me are happy to announce that there will be a mamothianly-transmaglorified piss up on Friday the 11th at the South Seas Bar of the St George — an attempt at drinking the bastard dry will be made — sufficient numbers and good weather permitting. I mean let's face it — you've got bugger all to do anyway so why not come along for a while and have a change from the Grand (or wherever) o.k.? Good on yer — see ya about 2.00 or anytime after.

Yours....in retention,

Noel Cooney
