STORIES FOR THE INTELLECTUALS
'Cinemas to 'ban' choc bombs' - Northern Territory News - page 5
Greater Union has taken them off the menu in Perth as a trial to perhaps get rid of them in all cinemas. Outrageous I say. How can one possibly watch Being John Malkovich or American Beauty or Mystery Men without an ice-cream in their face.
'Lisa Marie to wed' - page 6
Doh! It is hard to believe that she could find another beau as wonderful as Michael Jackson isn't it?
Wonder if he has his own face.
'Tracy a winner in dog poo case' - page 9
I was so relieved when I heard this. Tracy Grimshaw beat a charge by North Sydney Council of failing to pick up her pet dog's poo. North Sydney Council didn't get their $200 and had to pay $1,800 in costs. What could possibly have cost $1,800.
'PM hounded' - page 8
Quite right too!
And now for a miracle of science - tucked away on page 12
'15kg tumout'
'Turkish doctors have removed a 15.1kg tumour from the stomach of a 60-year-old woman'. Bugger.
'Liam paranoid about his hair' - page 17
Apparently this guy Noel (who) reckons that his rock-star brother - umm what's his name - Lame (oops) Liam is worried about losing his mop of hair and going bald. Like anybody cares.
'Winslet 'can't wait to be mum' - page 17
She should put an advert in the Northern Territory News. I reckon there might be an applicant or two.
And what is of interest to Thursday's woman - just the headlines
'The bust is back - thanks to Gisele' 'Here comes the bride, but who is she?
'Mum knows best about sex' 'Mothers dumping babies after birth'
'Obesity linked to serious depression' ''Full tummy may be warning' (of ovarian cancer)
'Life is sweet as Naomi gives catwalk the flick'
'Earth in danger: Find out'
