SEEING DOUBLE IN NIGHTCLUB PRECINCT

Wandering about  Darwin's lively Mitchell Street tucker  and  nightclub area  you can   experience  double  vision  without  touching  a  drop  of  John Barleycorn .

 A  double   shot   of   the  stylised  letter S  in  the  sign, above,  of   the  party  bar and  restaurant  MONSSOONS ,  could  cause  you  to  doubt  your   sobriety , the dictionary clearly  stating  the   Indonesian  seasonal wind  is  MONSOON.

Some months ago, when an American Marine  was  beaten  up , the  Northern Territory  News   said  the  episode  had  taken  place  at   Monsoons . 

It must be admitted  that  when the sign is  illuminated at night  , especially for  hens' parties , it seems   correct , one S  less . 


Not far  away is  an  Irish  sounding  wateringhole , SHENANNIGANS , which   appears to have  more  Ns  than  it  should... as  many as  a  lucky four-leaf  clover.
