Boy was that nice
Every local farmers dream was met over the weekend with some very timely rain. Crops and pastures will get a huge boost, I’d say it’s worth drinking too. Cheers.

Going going gone
It’s every pig farmers nightmare. Yes Marnoo West oinker Gary “Bacon” Baker took a tumble into the sludge pit, I’m told he took a very long bath that day.

Pest A Side
The pest from the West Mark “Pest” Raggatt has taken a tumble and injured his leg, details are scratchy but I’m told he’s on the injured list for some time. There must be something going on out West with young Tom “Wally” Walter also sustaining an injury. Walter was injured playing footy but I haven’t heard about the injury to Raggatt, we can only imagine what happened.

Signs
Someone from Glendemar has been out an about littering the country side with MPM signs, when I asked my fellow Yarrawonga resident and Glendemar director Dwain “Daryl” Duxson, he offered a politician type reply. He said “I know nothing”

The Major hits the Wall
St Arnaud Landmark guru agent Damian “Major” Drum hit his lovely girlfriend Melissa Wall with the ultimate question last weekend and guess what, she said yes. The pending marriage will be Majors first.

Young Nisbet
I attended the MCG to watch my favourite Mathew “Richo” Richardson play against Geelong on Saturday and he didn’t disappoint, but alas, the Cats showed their class with an easy win. I attended with former Marnoo shopkeeper John “Fruity” Nisbet and he had a special interest in a Richmond newcomer. Trent “young Nisbet” Cotchin is a cousin to the Nisbet clan and had a ripper first game kicking 2 goals and one with his very first kick. He certainly moves a bit better than any Nisbet I’ve seen.

How yu going Maaaaate
I was passing through Corowa today when I thought I would head on round to the taxi rank, well there he was in all his glory doing it tough reading the Herald Sun. Yes it was Graeme “Old Maaaaaate” McNolty. I managed a 3 minute conversation before a customer came along, we only briefly talked about his bid for the pub, of to which he replied “Where did that one come from”.

Lids pulls rabbit out of hat
SLF favourite Armand “lids” Duxson pulled a rabbit out of the hat at the Royal a couple of weekends ago, he fired an 86 off his 21 handicap to blitz the field. When questioned he said “I pulled that one out of my a&$#”

Mrs Hines x 2
Reading the Stawell rag the other day I came across a story and photo about the hard working Marlene “Marls” Hines who was presented a gift from Parents and Friends President Belinda Hines. One two many Hineses Mr reporter.

The story thus far
Speaking of Hineses, Marnoo East Grazier Ken “Author” Hines is writing his memoirs, I will be interesting to see what he has to say. I’m also wondering what the title is going to be. Reserve my copy please Hinesy.

Jack could do that
SLF favourite John “Jack” Cameron could also write a book, his would be comedy based with plenty of one liners. Some of the chapters could be: Why I love Paul Keating, The muddy runs again, Carting water and cutting burr, That’s my corner, You only need to swing it that far, There’s nothing wrong with wheel barrows, It always rains at Wallaloo. Now that would be a great read.


That’s all folks
