Dump and dumper

LAST week’s Whispers item of a man taking a load of rubbish to the dump only to end up on the Toowoomba Bypass which left him driving through Helidon prompted an even worse case of “Lost Man’s Syndrome”.

A Toowoomba legal man was similarly taking some garbage to the dump and Googled “Toowoomba Dump”.

He started to think his directions had gone astray when he realised he was in Highfields, the northern side of Highfields which he hadn’t known existed.

He then Googled “Toowoomba Tip” and got fresh directions.

Heading back toward Toowoomba, he thought he’d nailed it until he realised he was on the Toowoomba Bypass and headed toward Withcott.

He gave up and the next day took a drive to the new Charlton waste facility.

Just warming up

A FEW lads enjoyed a social distancing catch-up over a few beers on the deck of a mate in Newtown.

As most Whisperites would realise, last weekend was a little chilly in Toowoomba and the lads were soon shivering on the deck.

No, the arctic conditions didn’t deter them from their cool beers, but two of them decided a game of table tennis in the newly built double garage might just be the thing to warm them up.

It certainly did. Some 60 games later and the pair was down to their shorts and tshirts – and cold beers.

One good deed...

BAR manager answered the call from his boss to head over from his Middle Ridge home to help pack up a list of kegs of beer at the inner-city pub at which he works.

The brewery was recalling the kegs which were to have their contents dumped – a sad day for many.

Our man parked his car behind the brewery truck on which he then helped stack the 20 or so kegs.

When finished, the dedicated pub man decided to do some cleaning of the rooms upstairs.

He completed that task and went to head home only to find a ticket for $106 on his windscreen for parking in a loading zone.

Sometimes, good deeds don’t go unpunished.
