Smith Disappears

After a night of Corporate hospitality, no reliable (or unreliable for that matter) sightings of Charles Smith have been made on Sunday. Smith was believed to have staggered home after enjoying several concoctions at the All Blacks test match at Westpac Stadium. "Knowing Charlie he will be sleeping it off until tomorrow, he's often said it is a bit dull for him in Wellington in the weekend" said Rovers Manager Hall "he's not quite a George Nash in the drinking department".

Wellington Police confirmed tonight they were not looking for Smith as he was "big enough and ugly enough to look after himself". Unconfirmed reports from a Porirua Supermarket suggest there have been a run on painkillers early this afternoon that appears unconnected to the thriving drug labs business in the area. "We know the drug dealers but the chap who was in here looked to have a very sore head" said a Supermarket employee who preferred not to be named for fear of being dumped handless in the harbour.
