The nation’s construction companies have today admitted that they don’t imagine there will be much formwork or pouring happening tomorrow, as Australia’s Irish population commiserate Conor McGregor’s loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov.
On worksites across the country this week, Australia’s concreting professionals are expected to declare that Irish professional mixed martial artist and professional boxer Conor McGregor might have even won if the referee’s eyes weren’t painted on.
“I can see why they are riled up – there’s been like a month of nonstop media conferences,” says Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack, Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development.
“The Irish in Australia are renowned for their love of hard, laborious work. But they are also renowned for their love a quiet pint. So tomorrow should be interesting”
Local employers in formwork, lollipop-sign-holding, concreting, bartending and concrete-cutting say that they aren’t expecting a very productive day tomorrow”
“You’d think they’d go harder if he won, but a loss is just as much reason to flog themselves” says one local foreman from Betoota Home Builders.
“They’re a weird mob, the Irish”
“Who enjoys being sad while drinking? I bet you they are already singing”
