“You’ll Be Right Son” Says Brisbane Dog Walker After Seeing Council Worker Chunder On The Roadside

Those who have turned up to work today in Brisbane should be praised, after an electric weekend of Queensland sporting excellence.

This comes after an uncharacteristically large Sunday night on the tiles follows a historic weekend for the River City.

With a glorious Saturday afternoon spent watching the Lions maul the domesticated baby Geelong cats, Brisbane fans were left wondering if things could get better.

Thankfully for them, and the owners of licensed venues around the Brisbane area, it certainly could. Enter The Brisbane Broncos. The bad boys of the NRL.

With Brisbane fans still bearing the scars from that infamous night in 2023, many were left feeling anxious when the Penrith Panthers stormed to a 14-0 lead.

However, with Lang Park’s metaphorical roof lifted off to the start the second half, the Bronx found away to mount a stunning come back and hit the Panthers with the Uno reverse card.

And while even the state Premier has said that bosses should show forgiveness and understanding to anyone who sleeps through their alarms today, there must also be respect shown towards those who have clawed their way through a hangover and shown up to work on time.

Because as the saying goes in Queensland – ‘if you wanna play up, you better show up’ – and nothing is more noble than sweating out a skinful on the back end of a shovel.

One young man in Brisbane’s northside as very much shown up today, as local council worker Charlie Walsh arrived at his job digging holes with the scent of vodka red bulls and blackmarket cigarettes all over him.

The 5:30 am start was brutal, and for Charlie, the premiership half is this final 30 minutes before smoko.

However, it seems the unwise decision to punch a 500ml carton of iced coffee has caught up with him this morning, as the extremely dehydrated young labourer is left chundering on the roadside.

While none of his colleagues or even his boss give a shit, Charlie is felt feeling rather emasculated by his inability to hold down last night’s sinful activities.

But it was the kind words of elderly stranger that have reminded him that he actually isn’t any less of a man for chundering out 18 standard drinks from last night.

“That’s it, young fella. Let it out” says onlooker, Dr Darren Akermanis, a local brain surgeon who happened to be out walking his dog at the same time as the council worker began regurgitating.

“You’ll be right son”

“You’ve done very well to make it here today. The whole city is proud of you”

Charlie the council worker gives the elderly Queenslander a nod of thanks.

“Now I reckon hit some KFC for smoko and call it a day round 2pm” said the doctor.
