for DIRTY DISHES
Don’t you just hate it when there are people at your workplace who leave their dirty dishes in the sink (Serial Dishwash Avoiders – SDAs). ‘Oh I’ll clean it up later’ the SDAs lie. Their mummies always cleaned up after them and now they expect everyone else to be their mummy surrogates. And don’t you just hate it when if you mention it to the SDA, YOU become the bad person. ‘Get a life,’ they will say in an attempt to make you the guilty party, which works, so you wash their dishes and the SDA wins again. Don’t you just hate that!
Dramatic designs in hot glass Colin Heaney’s Glass Blowing Studio and Gallery is an icon in the Byron Shire, and is represented overseas at Habatat Galleries in three states of the US, Cosa in London and more recently the Gaffer Gallery in Hong Kong. The gallery is open 7 days and the glass blowing process may be viewed on weekdays. Select a piece from the extensive display of goblets, vessels, sculpture and paintings – a unique gift idea or as a personal reflection of your own good taste. 6 Acacia St, Byron Arts & Industry Estate Phone 6685 7044 www.colinheaney.com
Do yourself a favour... Do you commute daily for business to Tweed or the South Gold Coast? Byron Bay Airbus is proposing a new service for daily business commuters that would pick up in Mullumbimby, Brunswick Heads and Ocean Shores area, then drop off near your work place in Tweed/South Gold Coast and return you (virtually to your door) at the end of the working day. It’s convenient, it will save you money and if you think you’d use a service like this, Brian would like to talk to you. Do yourself a favour and give him a call 0404 104 945
