Getting Agro on Rum




Is everyone in Weipa a professional tennis player or something?

We must be.

It's like we've gone 5 sets with Roger Federer and copped the biggest Roger-ing of all time. How else can you explain the alcohol prices in town?!

How's this for Weipa fun:

1 x Carton of Bundy Rum Cans - a couple of cents shy of $100.00
1 x Carton VB cans - $55.00

Now I just got off the blower to the mob down at Smithfield Tavern (ph: 4038 8100) and they had this to say:

1 x Carton of Bundy Rum Cans - $64.00
1 x Carton VB cans - $43.oo

And get this ... the buggers apologised because they just had a price rise. I just about fell on my arse with laughter, but luckily I didn't. My arse is in a little bit of pain thanks to the regular shafting I've been getting from the grog shops.

But here's another thing: the rum cans are the special 440ml bastards!! Talk about teasing.

I suggest you buy three cartons of Rum cans in Cairns and purchase a plane ticket with the savings.

Not only will you get cheap grog, but you'll enjoy the flight back because your arse won't be sore from the shopping experience.

(Note to transport companies: Why not advertise some transport costs in the Bully, maybe you'll get some customers beating your door down.)

The IGA store in Mareeba has fresh fruit, nice and handy to Bowers Freight.
Also a Mareeba pub used to advertise in the Bully around 10 years ago.
