THE recent multimillion-dollar renovation of the Coogee Bay Hotel has ended in disaster after customers were served gelato containing faecal matter. The architects responsible have apologised to the family, explaining that their suggestion of trying some new stools in the brasserie area must have been misunderstood.

"It's regrettable," one of the designers said. "But personally, I'm more concerned about the way the patrons have misinterpreted my scheme for glassing in the bar area."

The publicist Max Markson has suggested that the only way the Coogee Bay can restore its reputation is by appointing the celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay to manage the kitchen. Ramsay is understood to be interested, since the menu already features his favourite word.
