While out drinking with Older Brother on Saturday I ran into one of his mates who’s also one of the town’s premier league drinkers and local ‘characters’. Because he also played pool I met him quite early on in my Goole drinking career and he’s always been quite entertaining but he also told me one fantastic story.
Everyone in the town knows this chap and his love for drunken behaviour and generally pissing about. He’s been known to stand naked at the bar in pubs just enjoying a quiet pint or five whenever the fancy takes him. He’s also a karaoke performer of note – and there doesn’t have to be accompanying music. You get the picture…
Anyway a new pub was due to open in town several years ago and for a laugh he applied for the assistant manager’s job – and after fabricating a work record and conveniently not mentioning his criminal record he got the job.
But two weeks before the pub was due to open he was spotted by his new employer up to his old tricks and his employer was gradually filled in on the real story as to who this man was. So not only did he lose his new job but he was also banned from the pub before it actually opened by the manager who’d been conned by him.
Personally I think getting banned from a pub before it was even opened is a truly marvellous achievement. Respect.
