DISAPPEARING mice.
It seems a horde of clever mice
have decimated local farms on
the South Australian west coast,
and then done a bunk before they
could be held accountable for
their dastardly ways.
According to reports, a team of
documentary film makers from
the pay TV station Animal Planet,
were sent on a wild mouse chase,
to capture the swarming critters in
action as part of their ‘pests of the
world’ series.
Initial reports and recordings
sent to the team before their
arrival showed millions of mice
munching their way through the
SA Streaky Bay farms, however
when they rocked up with cameras
in tow, it appeared the crafty
critters had simply disappeared.
“Every farmer you speak to tells
you they had like a million mice
on their farm and now they
haven’t got any,” said Animal
Planet producer, Helen Lambourne.
“It is quite an amusing thing at
the moment because we’re
actually asking farmers all
around Streaky [Bay] to try and
actually find mice for us ... and
no-one can find any,” she added.
ALCOHOLIC amnesia.
A 46-year old Australian man
hailing from the Northern
Territory has been left rather red
faced after having stumbled into
the wrong house to take a
shower and sober off.
According to the local papers,
the man was so drunk that he
entered his neighbours house,
and still thinking it was his own
stripped off, entered the shower,
had a sobering soak, before
realising his mistake and hotfooting
it to the veranda.
Meanwhile his neighbour, still
in bed in the early morning
hours, thought she was being
burgled, and although perplexed
as to why a thief would stop for a
quick shower and spruce mid
crime spree, called the police.
Whilst recovering from his
shame on the veranda, the man
was arrested and taken to the
station to sleep it off.
