A fortunate Accident
Nancy Prochilo was looking for
something on the internet, when she
came across the Commercial Hotel ‘for
sale’ information. “I accidently found
the information,’ said Nancy, “and I
bought it.” Now the fun starts for Nancy
as she, and her willing band of workers,
restore the old pub to some of its
former grandeur.
Jo Prochilo manages the Pub
along side Ross Prochilo.
Removing the old reception desk. Nancy was sad the old desk had to be
removed, but it has to be ‘out with the old and in with the new.’
Theresa and Jo find tiles under the old
carpet in the reception hall.
Many Hay residents have fond memories of the
Commercial as the place to be to celebrate all
occasions and dance the night away. The Hotel is to
be fully renovated; and features will include New
Public Bar, Ladies Lounge, Cafe, Restaurant and
Accommodation. The pub will continue trading
during the renovations.
An outdoor gazebo and gardens are one of the first
stages, which Nancy hopes will be finished in time
for Christmas, and will be a family friendly area.
Next on the agenda will be the Cafe/Bistro which
could be completed by January.
After those renovations Nancy has a long list of
items on her reno list, which “could take a while.”
I'VE BEEN BANNED
From the grocery store
Yesterday I was at my local food store buying a large bag of dog food, for my loyal pet and was in the checkout queue
when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog.
What did she think I had an elephant? So, since I'm retired and have little to do, on impulse I told her that no, I didn't
have a dog, I was starting the Dog Diet again. I added that I probably shouldn’t, because I ended up in hospital last time,
but I'd lost 10 kilograms before I woke up in intensive care with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both
arms.
I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pockets with dog biscuits and
simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to
try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in the queue was now enthralled with my story.)
Horrified, she asked me if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off
the kerb to sniff an Irish Setter's bum and a car hit me.
I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard. I'm now banned from my local
food store.
Better watch what you ask retired people. They have all the time in the world to think of daft things to say.
This joke was taken from a face book post, we are not sure of the actual source of the article/joke, but it is too funny not to share.
