Talking blokes into talking books Advice from the Chief Product Tester
Dear Chief I took your advice and got a dog to meet women and it worked! I met 6 women! Here’s what happened... As you advised Chief, I bought a weird looking dog so other women with dogs would say to me, “What sort of dog is that?” so we could start up a conversation. I bought a Doberman-Pit Bull cross called Brutus. Sure looked weird. Then we went to the Pottsville Markets and I spotted her - a cute blond with a little fl uffy Maltese Shitzu. We headed over and next thing, all hell broke loose. Brutus charged at Fluffy and wanted to eat her. Fluffy took off and Brutus took off after her, while I was still attached to Brutus’ chain dragging along the ground. Before I stopped him I’d knocked over 3 market stalls. That’s when I met Alice and Mary, somewhat irate stall holders. Then I met Fluffy’s owner Carol (no sense of humour) followed by Joan the policewoman and Simone the cute paramedic who took me to Tweed Hospital. To cut a long story short - I’m now dating Cheryl, the duty solicitor who handled my case and she’s got a similar type of dog. She’s about to pick me up on her Harley. So thanks Tony - getting a dog really worked! Forever grateful - Todd Pleasure Todd!

Planting the seed for Tweed’s community gardens Kim Cousins
David Cowen first became interested in gardening when he was a kid living in a Lon- don flat. At that time there was very little greenery surround- ing him. Since then he has grown his own little patch of paradise in his Murwillumbah backyard and is looking to get the community involved in a central garden that everyone can share. ‘In England they’ve always had garden plots. During the war people were encouraged to grow their own food,’ he said. David would like to see Murwillumbah move towards being a transition town, an area where sustainability is a normal part of life. ‘It’s about working Seven-year-old Isabella picks some organic silver beet as her towards a time when we don’t granddad Brian Harmon tends to the food bowl that is the have oil,’ he said. ‘We also need community garden at Chillingham Community Centre.
