IRISH OUTRAGE TO BE RECTIFIED ?

Literate  Irish  backpackers being lumbered  by police for misbehaving   in Darwin's lively  Mitchell  Street nightclub  precinct  have been known to  cheekily point out  that  the  spelling of  an  Irish bar -Shenaniganns-  is incorrect. 

Now that the 21 year old  Irish themed  pub , also known as Shags,  has been bought by the Melbourne based  Australian Venue Club  Co , formerly  Dixon Hospitality , it is hoped the spelling blue  will be  made green , Shenanigans .  The company, in which the global investment  firm KKR became a major shareholder , also bought  another  popular  nearby  nightspot , Monsoons , and  has other  interests in  NSW  and   Queensland . 
 
With  recent  changes in the ownership  of   businesses  in  the  hospitality  field in Darwin , there is speculation that  a build up of  American  Marines  may  see  a lot of  people drinking rum and  Coca-Cola , working for  the Yankee   dollar .
