Can we have an end to this?
Thu, 29 Jan 2009, 09:39 amSeems like some people are taking the opportunity to rub salt in the wounds here. Clearly there was an error stemming from a miscommunication between the ITA and the venue itself. The belief was that water would be freely available and I'm guessing that next year the simple fix will be having jugs of tap water available in the bar area.
Alternatively, if people want a crucifixion about this issue I guess we could just do away with service of alcohol all together?
How about we just ban community theatre in Perth? That would save an awful lot of volunteers time and money wouldn't it? And it would certainly ensure we don't have a repeat of the problem.
Too radical?
How about the simple solution - accept the apology in the good grace it was given and SHUT THE HELL UP!!!
Putting things in perspective when all the facts are known can be a difficult concept but God forbid we apply common sense to any issue anymore. It's so much easier when you're not creative to point the finger at those who are and tear down their efforts with your one liners isn't it Teetotaller? Let he who is without sin cast the first stone - I guess it must be nice to have never made a mistake in your life.
Thank God we have clearly defined rules in place for everything these days so that we can delegate any personal responsibility to others. If the world was clear of idiots and the pernicious and invasive influence of conservative religious zealots perhaps we would have to accept responsibility for our actions like we used to not so long ago and legislation such as Responsible Service of Alcohol wouldn't be needed!
Let it go teetotaller and your ilk - you're giving me a hangover.
