Sheila’s a humble article

A CALLER to ABC Radio this week took the opportunity to reminisce about her time working at the now-defunct Katherine Ad

vertiser. “I just typed up the articles,” Sheila explained. Bushie and his colleagues would like to think there’s a bit more to our common craft than that, but maybe we’re overthinking it.

One thing we can hoard

AMID all the doom and gloom, Bushie spotted a sign at the Nightcliff Woolworths that made him smile this week. Among the signs around the supermarket reminding people not to hoard amid the coronavirus crisis, atop the Cadbury eggs was a sign encouraging the hoarding of Easter chocolate. “No limits on Easter chocolate apply.”

Open season on bunny

TERRITORY children are finding excellent ways to kill time this Easter due to the limitations of coronavirus restrictions. Some have taken on the mammoth task of catching the elusive Easter bunny. Bushie spied on social media parents showing their children’s grand schemes, which included several hunting traps baited with carrots and beer.

Bushie has a feeling the Easter bunny will be watching its back this year.

Do as we say, not as we do

FOR weeks now, the NT Government has been telling Territorians to restrict indoor gatherings to 10 or fewer people, which is why it was so surprising when it didn’t enforce that rule at its own media event this week. Member for Drysdale Eva Lawler and Member for Brennan Tony Sievers recently invited media to a restaurant in Palmerston to launch a new school holiday program and there were at least 15 people already in there, media not included. Not a great look.

The mullet that got away

ONE Darwinite was left seriously questioning whether she should stay married to her husband after an argument in the car this week. Driving past the seafood shop in town, they spotted a sign saying “fresh mullet”. But what made it impressive was the man leaning against the sign with the “most badass, long, grey mullet” the woman had ever seen.

Despite her pleas, her husband would not turn the car around for a photo.

Careful what you ask for

ONE Alice Springs councillor got more than she bargained for when she asked a bloke in isolation if he needed anything. As a joke, the man suggested she could supply him with some lubricant as, since he was all alone, he “might do himself a mischief”. However, the councillor had the last laugh when she had the gel delivered to his hotel room.

Loving it in isolation

JARROD Woodgate has been loving every minute of being in isolation with his new girlfriend, Bachelor star Sam Royce. The former Bachelorette runner-up has been with his new love in Darwin for the past two weeks, arriving before the Northern Territory closed its borders amid the coronavirus pandemic. On Friday, he beamed with happiness as he cosied up to Sam for a loved-up selfie, which he shared on Instagram.
