Oddly, I agree with John Surname. (Less shockingly, I disagree with Leon). Those people in Victoria complaining about high school muck up days need to take a teaspoon of cement and HTFU. Imagine if they had this to contend with:
WILD wallabies are terrorising a Townsville retirement village, knocking over residents and defecating on lawns and patios.
Residents at Carlyle Gardens are said to be too afraid to leave their homes when the 100-strong mob runs amok in the early mornings and late afternoons.
The wallabies are crashing into cars, scooters and even elderly residents.
Large male wallabies, over a metre tall and weighing up to 30kg, are fighting, falling against the side of homes and damaging walls.
A few things to say about this:
(a) Wild wallabies seem to defecate with abandon, but even they don’t crap in Gelato.
(b) If we weren’t being oppressed by the nanny state and the old people were allowed to carry automatic weapons, this wouldn’t be a problem.
(c) Having lived in North Queensland, I will concede the possibility that this is essentially bullshit – a bunch of wild exaggerations thrown together by a Townsville Bulletin journalist in a late-afternoon frenzy, as they try desperately to respond to the awful grinding reality that once the NRL season is over, there is almost nothing to put in the newspaper.
(d) The photo and header they used are utterly, utterly AWESOME.
