Strange the things you miss. Terry Thelwell of North Ryde lives underneath the flight path and remembers that when his grandchildren visited pre-COVID they’d often run outside at the frequent sounds of a plane, pointing at the sky and shouting, “Pa, look, a plane”. Then came the months of eerie quiet. With the ever-increasing flights over the past week, Terry finds his inner grandchild coming out, and says, “I now race outside shouting to my wife, ‘Look, a plane!’” Her reply, with a shake of her head, “That’s it, he’s finally gone”.
Never mind the saucy ads for sharing a bedroom (C8), Kerrie Wehbe of Blacktown is “still trying to get over the fact that Paul Duncan has a local paper.”
Noticing that a map he recently purchased offers the disclaimer “This map may contain automation induced errors or omissions” Greg McGarry of Epping wonders “if ‘the computer stuffed up my homework’ is an update on the old ‘dog ate my homework’. But will teachers buy it?”
Given the task of collecting the green fees for a game at Pennant Hills Bowling Club, Ross Storey of Normanhurst was somewhat taken aback when “one of the bowlers paid with an old, orange, paper $20 note. Will this transaction go down in history as the last ever made using the old currency?”
Peter Bower of Naremburn is in a quandary. “I have had all the feng shui people in, and I’m pretty sure my house is pointing in the right direction (C8). But just lately I keep on getting up on the wrong side of bed. What do I need to do? How can this be fixed?”
