| Rodders
Rodders is the more um… senior of our barmen. While not particularly
creative he can swing an attractive cocktail shaker (but is banned from
watching "Cocktail" after he dropped one too many shakers while trying
to be Tom Cruise). Getting his attention is usually the hardest part
– particularly if there is a mirror in the offing.
Rodders has been working at the Canley Arms for a considerable period
of time. At the Reclaim the Forum party we were served by a host
of Tony O look-alikes that Anna kindly hired from an agency. At the
Recovery party we had to make do with the riot police we brought with us
from the RTF party (why were there riot police at that party? Do
I look like a "street corner grass"?) The Canley Arms developed a
cute barman quite early on but it was Liz who on the 12th of July realized
it was Rodney! (I blame the Deadly Shmeadlies myself for our inability
to recognize the dear boy.) It was Bubs however who christened him
Rodders.
Oh, and the 64 million dollar question – is it Rodney Skase, late of
Sun Hill, or merely a look-alike? It's like believing in Santa Claus
– you'll have to make up your own mind. |
