Shot snot, anybody?
ELECTION night party planner looking for creative and colourful cocktail recipes was left bemused and bewildered at the sheer number of names for different drinks.
From The Twitcher and Giraffe Snot to others involving certain bodily fluids belonging to Smurfs, our party planner was left in awe - and a little disturbed by the names and contents of some drinks.
Remember, always drink and vote responsibly.
Mind blank
OLDER Toowoomba couple is thinking seriously about their mental health and mindfulness.
After turning up to a medical appointment on a certain date, the couple was told they were a week early, much to the husband’s mirth, and leaving the wife a little red in the face.
But as fate would have it, hubby took the car in for repairs later that same week, only for him to be told it wasn’t until next month.
Needless to say they’re both thinking they might be looking for some miracle cure for forgetfulness.
Mistaken identity
REPAIR men can be pretty handy, but they’re also pretty polite.
Inner-city office worker had booked in repairs on doors and locks for the office and was eagerly awaiting the handy-man’s arrival.
Seeing one such lad approaching the office with a tool belt, the diligent worker eagerly approached him with a last-minute addition of things to be fixed.
The lad listened and took instructions, making sure to understand the problem before taking out his screw driver and fiddling with the door hinge, offering up a solution to the issue.
It wasn’t until he asked ever so politely to be taken to the kitchen area our office worker cottoned on to the fact he wasn’t here to fix the doors but repair the vending machine.
Seeing double?
POLITICAL fever has hit the Garden City, with one Whispers Operative guilty of a doppelganger double-take.
Toowoomba lass, thinking she had spied the former treasurer Joe Hockey, rallied three of her co-workers to the cafe next door for a not-so subtle assessment of whether the older gent was the politico she had in mind.
Despite him meeting the right proportions and demeanour, he was brushed off as another well-suited businessman.
Festive confusion
THE festive end of year celebration calendar can get full on, especially for the well-connected and generous members of the community.
Same goes for city venues which often host more than one gathering at a time.
It can all get a bit confusing, such as for that of a particular gentleman last week who thought he was in the right place and started mingling with the crowd and eating up the canapes.
It wasn’t until the speeches got under way he realised he was in the wrong place, and quickly found the right room - and repeated it all over again with the right crowd.
Big birthday
SIGNIFICANT birthday tonight for one woman Toowoomba councillor but she is keeping quiet about how significant. Plenty of friends will gather and help ease the pain with a bottle or three of wine.
