So a couple of blokes decided to climb to the top of a building site in Rivervale early this morning.
It was reported that booze may have had a part to play (lol).
Alas, local tradies weren’t able to start their day of construction as the men fancied a bit of a powernap. Once awake, they weren’t keen on coming down either.
In this video, it looks like one is about to cop a yellow river from the other lol but who knows.

What ensued was a fantastic waste of police & emergency services resource in an 8 hour stand off with the men.
It was reported that at one point the men allegedly asked police for an extra 4 pack of booze and vape and they’d come down.
Channel 9 update on the bumbling pair:
A drunken duo's risky rooftop stunt has halted work at a construction site in Rivervale for more than eight hours.

Police negotiators were called in to coax the bumbling pair down, but efforts came to a standstill when they fell asleep. @SarahSmith9_ #9News pic.twitter.com/ueevVK40Df
Classic City of Belmont stuff right there.
Documenting the Human Zoo is thirsty work, so if you enjoyed what you read how about buying Belle a beer, ay?
