What’s news?
“What’s news”? It’s a great opening line for a conversation along with “what’s you been up too” and “bloody cold isn’t it”. I don’t really know where I’m heading here but I think we should get on with it.

My team
I’m not going to upset too many natives when I brag about the Tigers win against the Lions, however it’s a bit different to last week when we managed to beat the Bombers. I didn’t mention it for one reason alone, half of the Marnoo natives actually barrack for Essendon and I know they would relinquish their subscription to this publication if I waffled on about it. Being my only source of income I don’t want to lose half my subscribers. So I didn’t mention the bombers game did I!!!

Guru in clover
They tell me and I hope I’m not jumping the gun here, but “The Gurus” (Norm & Margie Duxson) are happy at the news that #2 daughter Tanya is expecting. This news comes on the back of #1 daughter Pauline having given birth to another “rug rat”. No wonder the guru has a case of shrinking jacket disease!!!

Facebook worry
I have this message on my facebook site that a local native lady was asking another male native (both my facebook friends) “how did you pull up this morning”. That can conjure any kind of innuendo but let me tell you it is all above board.

WA trip
I haven’t heard any news from the group of no tillers who are on the Junket in WA with NewAg CEO Andrew “Clown” Newall. But don’t despair folks it is odds on for some headlines next week.

Tug of war anchor
I won’t mention any names because yours truly is no shrinking violet but I have it on good authority that a few natives had a weight off last weekend at some shearing shed scales whilst on a crop inspection. I’m told they were weighing themselves for the right to anchor the local tug-a-war team. The favourite weighed in at a healthy 130kg and will be lining up soon as team captain and anchor.

He can jump
Former Callawadda Primary School star pupil Sandy “The know all” McGregor was in the winner’s circle again with champion jumper Some are Bent. I’m told that The know all took his celebrations to a new level after the win in what we believe will only be a warm up compared with the trip to Japan early next year. The race is worth a cool million smackers and if they win that the Asahi (Japanese beer) will flow like the muddy once did!!

That’s all folks
