Man jailed for stomping on unconscious pub patron's face
Brisbane District Court Judge Michael Forde today sentenced Taumafai Aimahala Lafu to four years jail for the "culpable and cowardly" offence.
The court was told Lafu consumed about 20 strong drinks prior to the attack at the Wynnum West Tavern, in Brisbane's east, on August 4 last year.
Lafu, a New Zealander who had been in Australia for three months at the time, attacked 31-year-old David Hansen as he lay on the pub's floor.
The court heard Mr Hansen had been knocked unconscious by one of Lafu's friends.
The fight erupted after Lafu's friend taunted Mr Hansen when he was being ejected from the pub for drunkenness.
After Mr Hansen was knocked out, Lafu approached him, raised his leg and stomped on his face at least once.
Mr Hansen suffered a closed head injury and facial fractures.
The attack, captured on the hotel's security system, permanently affected his sense of taste and smell.
The court heard Lafu continually denied attacking Mr Hansen and only entered a plea of guilty to grievous bodily harm just before the matter was to go to trial.
Lafu's sentence will be suspended after 16 months, after which he will return to New Zealand.
He has already served 402 days in pre-sentence custody. Brisbane District Court Judge Michael Forde today sentenced Taumafai Aimahala Lafu to four years jail for the "culpable and cowar... more -

Horse banned from pub
Peggy, a 12-year-old mare, who has been a regular visitor at a pub for several years has been barred after the landlady bought new carpets.
Peggy used to enjoy a pint of John Smith's bitter and a packet of pickled onion crisps alongside owner Peter Dolan, but when landlady Jackie Gray had the pub refitted, she had to bar Peggy.
Mr Dolan said that Peggy began drinking in the pub when one day, instead of staying outside on the grass when he went inside, she followed him in and became a regular ever since. He said: "No-one even took any notice of her. Everyone just saw her as one of the locals."
Mrs Gray had only just taken over the pub, said she was shocked to find one of her new regulars was a horse. She said: "Although she is probably cleaner than some of my customers, I had to put my foot down and show her the door."

Alcoholic Frog
The dialogue goes as follows:
"So there I was at the pub, right, and this bloke walks up to me and he's like 'Hey, what's a frog doing in the pub?' And I say, well, I'm having a drink. And he says 'Well, alright then. Let me buy you another.' So he does, and we walk away best of friends." The dialogue goes as follows: ... more -

Britains first 'pub' without booze?!
Just like the rest of our British pubs, this pub here has snacks, snooker tables, quiz nights... but the only difference is it doesn't sell any alcohol drinks.
The local community has supported Halal Inn (in Oldham) which is the first non-alcoholic 'pub' in Britain.
The 'pub' does Asian snacks, darts, and even plays Islamic music and sells soft drinks, tea and coffee! All people are welcome into the pub!
The idea's catching on though... according to Thaiindian.com Malaysia is to get one soon as well! Just like the rest of our British pubs, this pub here has snacks, snooker tables, quiz nights... but the only difference is it doesn&#... more -
