TA: Former Port Fairy baker Ian Gibb is thinking of going on hit TV show
Masterchef after his cooking experiences last Sunday.
AT: Did Gibby cook up a storm for Mary and the rest of the family on Mother's Day?
TA: No, luckily Mary was invited out for lunch by one of their sons while Ian decided he would stay home. He thought it would be a good idea to cook up a bit of stew for lunch. After throwing together some ingredients he cooked it up and was most impressed by his efforts. He scoffed half the concoction and it was only then that he discovered there had been a bit of a mix-up with the ingredients. Unfortunately Ian worked out that he had mistakenly put cat food from the fridge into his stew. He was spotted drinking water and coughing up fur balls days later to try and get the taste out of his mouth.
AT: While we on getting caught out eating, the Warrnambool police are very pleased with themselves after catching escapee Daniel Beattie at Maccas last week. Now our favourite councillor/copper Col Ryan has been very quiet about his part in the escape but it can now be revealed he was right in the middle of it and didn't offer much of a challenge to young Daniel, who is a former Camperdown Crater To Crater Fun Run winner. This week Col has categorically denied that he was in the Maccas drive-through when Mr Beattie was sneaking into get a feed. "He was arrested as a result of a planned operation. I would also like to thank my associates who gave me unsolicited advice on my sprinting ability after the unfortunate incident. I took their words seriously and have looked at a Carl Lewis video once and have also taken up reading the sporting pages," Mr Ryan said.
TA: Don't be surprised if the Warrnambool and District Cricket Association does not get in contact with your mates at the police station over the next few days regarding a missing shield. Koroit won the division two premiership in 2008-09 and was presented with the shield which includes 15 plagues of previous winners. Story goes the shield might have been lost at a club function at a pub. Seems Koroit had to buy another shield which was handed over to Woodford on presentation night but the association is still chasing the old one and Koroit officials have no idea where it is.
AT: Talking of a sticky situation, I heard a whisper that Mick Nevill got in a tricky spot during the week. The father of footballers Sam, Tom and Jono was feeling a bit flat and had a butter menthol before he jumped into bed, but unfortunately the cough lolly didn't make him feel much better. He woke up and found the lolly lodge in his arm pit hair and the lovely Denise had to do some pruning to remove the offending soother.
TA: Mother's Day was a big day in a Port Fairy hotel last Sunday. Deanna Sanelli, who was heavily pregnant, just sat down to enjoy a meal with family when her waters broke. Insiders say the hotel staff went into overdrive. An ambulance was called and Deanna was rushed to hospital where she and had a bouncing baby girl - named Madeline.
AT: In footy news, Warrnambool and district league junior development officer Carey Hackett is far from happy with the approach of some club coaches to under 16 interleague commitments. The league decided that kids who play interleague at the Hamilton carnival towards the end of the month are not to play on the day before or they will be $200 fine. But with a tight ladder under 17 ladder there has been a lack of numbers at training after 44 kids were originally nominated. Most of the missing kids are from three sides. If the coaches don't get behind the interleague you can see why other leagues just have a straight bye for all players.
TA: Amazing to see after five games in the Hampden Football Netball League that Koroit is in the top five with a win and a draw. It looks like there are only three sides in the eight-team competition.
AT: I've got a couple of things just to wrap up. We wish one of our good mates Friar Fisher all the best with his health problems, well done to Paul Azzopardi and all those involved after the Warrnambool and district cricket introducing a girls competition and has been nominated for a sports award and I understand that Panmure football stalwart John Bant and veteran umpire Bernie Bourke exchanged a few heated words at an umpires night during the week. The concept of text messages with WDFNL scores and ladders every Saturday night has been a bigger winner. If anyone wants the free service to your mobile phone just call 03 8506 9754 once.
