RUMOUR HAS IT

Fines master Ian Cairns had a field day at the show! Initially fining himself for coming then not coming then coming! John Nisbet for wife Betty rolling in dough after cleaning up the cookery competition, Doug Maclean for a sick excuse, (aww poor Doug), Michael Boyd for sitting on his tail all day (again), Past Principal Duncan for grilling the alleged schoolies about concession ages and flicking miscreants to Andrea for judgement, and Trevor for buying the world’s biggest stuffed penguin off a Show visitor from the Philippines, driving the price down from $20 to $15. He also fined Fabio for keeping an eye on all the cute girls on Saturday, and for the success of the amazing Brazillian surfer Carlos Burle for surfing the biggest ever wave of 100 ft off Portugal, Ian Sharman for being brilliantly photographed by Sharon Stark looking like a bearded and cap wearing seafarer in his little ticket booth, Jim Hanrahan for not backing a sure winner, and all lucky shareholders of Warrnambool Cheese and Butter shares as they head skyward.
