Confessions of an Australian Bar Maid: Character Study - The Historian

THE HISTORIAN:
  • Is always of a mature age
  • Has always had one too many
  • Always takes forever to order
  • Can often share traits of The Complainer
  • Has seen every band they’re about to see numerous times before and is happy to list where, when and with whom
  • Has often worked in the very same establishment you are now working in and begins to list all the differences between then and now, all acts they saw throughout the duration of their employment and various anecdotes of former colleagues you’ve never met and never will
  • Has questionable dress sense and hair styling
  • Often leans, slurs and/or spits
  • Always holds up queues and forces those behind them to tutt and roll eyes
  • Always looks slightly hurt when you state you do in fact still work there and should get on with the job at hand

SUMMARY: Totally harmless, sometimes entertaining, often boring and annoying.
