Men’s Pentathlon Show Jumping A Good Enough Reason To Go To The Pub Apparently

As the economy hurtles towards the recessional cliff, a group of young men have today sought some justification for an erratic and arguably irresponsible session at the pub.

With games of footy on the scrap heap until the Olympics wraps up in a couple of days time, the group of friends smattered around Betoota’s Old City District have landed on some random 5 rings events as the reason they should all catch up for a couple of beers tonight.

“Men’s Modern Pentathlon tonight,” said one of the ringleaders of the group chat.

“Be silly not to really,” confirmed another member of the leadership committee.

With confirmations slowly filtering through from various members, the decision has been made to go and enjoy the modern pentathlon at the Shined Riding Boot – a popular bar at the foot of one the big towers in the city.

“Show jumping starts at 9 haha,” laughed one of the boys.

“I guess we’ll have to get a feed there as well,” said another.

“I’m a big fan of that Egyptian Elgendy, so yeah pretty keen to hang around for that one.”

With zero confirmation that the Modern Pentathlon will even be on the pub’s TVs, the plans have already been set in motion, with a 5pm kick off set in stone.

More to come.
