Buckets to the increasing number of residents with palm trees in their gardens. Wake up, people, this isn’t the Bahamas. Stop pretending Geelong is a slice of tropical paradise. Really, who do you think you are?
Palm Off, Geelong West
Buckets to some local service stations or their suppliers for taking a long time to pass on any savings from the falling price of oil. I was still paying around $1.40 a litre for petrol recently when a paper said oil was down to $50 a barrel. Why?
Running On Empty, Newcomb
Bouquets to Specsavers Waurn Ponds for having a change-of-mind policy. I bought new glasses but decided I didn’t like them four weeks later. Specsavers was more than happy to return them and to help a very indecisive customer.
Happy Customer, St Albans Park
Bouquets to Bronwyn and daughter Mollie. I was unable to catch a taxi at 2am Sunday after leaving my partner at University Hospital Geelong following a heart attack. Bronwyn offered to drive me home to Ocean Grove then returned to the emergency department to continue waiting with Mollie.

Buckets to a Waurn Ponds business selling iced coffee for $9. What is this, royal customers only? It’s the most expensive coffee I’ve bought in my life. Think of low-incomers, not just the wealthy.
Disgusted, Grovedale
Bouquets to Vodaphone’s Steve. We can’t thank you enough and are extremely grateful for what you achieved for us.
Rhonda and Lorraine, Bell Post Hill
Buckets to the nasty people who’ve turned on Geelong’s floating Christmas tree. You were all so quiet when everyone was loving it at the waterfront. Now you think it’s your chance to tear it down. This is why we can’t have nice things.
Tree Lover, Belmont
Bouquets to the Cats for sticking by some seriously talented players who’ve had terrible runs with injury. It was great to see Nathan Vardy play again and it will be even better when Daniel Menzel returns, hopefully this week. It all shows the true team spirit of the mighty Cats.
Go Cats, Corio
Buckets to a pain in the neck at a local gaming venue. You can’t get in the seat fast enough when another player vacates a machine that hasn’t paid out for a while. What are you, a hovercraft? Don’t think the regulars are unaware of your annoying strategy.
Playing For Fun, East Geelong
