Sickening case of romance
WHO said chivalry was dead?
Toowoomba woman was over the moon that not only had her husband remembered their wedding anniversary but he had organised flowers for her as well.
Our lass was also impressed and amused that her husband had used an innovative way to keep the water up to the flowers.
Her man, a doctor in the Garden City, had attached a hospital sick bag to the stems of the flowers (see pictures right).
Romance lives on atop The Range!
Worth the weight
ROAD worker has been copping it from mates since he let slip he had weighed himself during a roadwork trip to Dalby last week.
After copping heaps from his mates about his expanding girth, he had always refused to say how much he weighed or get onto the scales.
During the trip west, our man apparently decided to jump on the scales — at a weighbridge usually utilised for weighing trucks.
When this little bit of information reached his mates, all hell broke loose.
He admitted that the weighbridge advised his weight was 120kg.
“But the weighbridge goes up in increments of 20kg at a time so I could just be a little over 100kg,” he protested.
But his mates were having none of it.
“What if the weighbridge was spot on and you actually weigh 120kg?” one mate shot back.
Our man’s former nickname of “Heavy Kevvy” has since been replaced by “Weighbridge”.
Faked news
JOURNALIST at a leading Toowoomba newspaper succumbed to the pull of “fake news” on Tuesday, when he believed a photoshopped tweet going around on the internet.
The tweet, supposedly written by US President Donald Trump in 2015, said if the Dow ‘Joans’ dropped below 1000 points whoever was the President at the time should fire himself out of a canon.
Turns out the tweet was fake, though the journalist unwittingly believed it and had told everyone.
Who can blame him though for believing something crazy apparently said by President Trump?
