Club Sec in budgie smuggler tribute
South Coogee Wanderers Club President Iainomoto got a double whammy on his personal campaign trail today - not just news that he’s been dropped to the bench for this week’s clash between East-running and West-running, but also an unwanted glimpse of the Club Secretary General’s Love Packet.
Iainomoto arrived at Rino’s Pizzeria in South Coogee’s fast food heartland to launch his latest book – “Wham, Bam, Thank you M’am” – to be confronted by a half-naked Abel Balbo. Obviously making fun of Iainomoto’s repeated appearances in his swimwear throughout the book launch campaign, Balbo, wearing a pair of red speedos and a white baseball cap, was quickly cut off by two bodyguards with French accents.
When the cameras remained focused on him rather than El Presidente, Balbo said, "Sorry, I'm not the Club President, he's over there". "Just because I'm wearing this doesn't mean I'm Iainomoto," he said.
Balbo stuck around for the press conference but failed to draw a response from the Club’s patriarch, and was again ignored when he went to shake Iainomoto's hand.
Moments earlier, El Presidente’s press conference in front of Rino’s was almost brought to an early end when David McBride and Jonathon Flegg, the Club’s two local Liberal Party stooges, were unable to reach the pizza shop’s ordering counter. The young Libs attempted to move several cameramen, but eventually went around the back of the media pack and snuck in the door as Iainomoto continued speaking to the press. Once inside, McBride showed some local knowledge by ordering a large Four Seasons with extra cheese, while his inexperienced counterpart Flegg went for garlic bread and a medium-sized Super Supreme. “I’m hoping today is Lucky Dollar Day” he said.
The Club President chose Rino’s as the venue for the conference because it was here, in the back rooms, that some of the early womanising referred to in his new tome took place . “VHR had a key to one of the back rooms, and he decked it out himself” said the Pres.
A spokesman for Iainomoto said it was "interesting" that Balbo and his Liberal stooges turned up to the station during their press conference, but that he wasn’t concerned Balbo may be running a campaign to depose him. “I’ve got enough dirt on Balbo to keep him off my case” said the President smugly.
Iainomoto planned to spend the rest of the afternoon doorknocking along Arden Street, although it’s unclear why.
