STICK your head up and, well, you know the rest.
Just ask mayor Darryn Lyons, who’s adopted the social media hashtag #onetrickpony after Geelong MP Chris Couzens branded him as such in parliament.
On Twitter this week he reminded her that his trick snaffled Geelong $15.6 million in media value during his first 100 days as mayor.
Seems Christine can’t take a trick.
AND it wasn’t just political heads popping over Lyons – he also used social media this week to show off a couple of purple-and-white 3D-printed miniatures of his noggin as well as a mohawked Lego offering.
Yet another post offered further signs of frustration with council colleagues when he circulated a photo of a lion up a tree surrounded by marauding buffaloes.
“My Tuesday nights!” he tweeted in a reference to council meetings.
LOCK your car is the word around Geelong after the RACV posted a 50 per cent in theft claims last year.
A total 67 cars were nicked, worth $743,483 in insurance payouts, with damaged cars – malicious damage, actually – costing another $99,488.
FRESH from last week’s findings about beaks growing in response to climate change, Deakin University has furthered its avian exploits with video cameras on seabirds.
The purpose, apparently, was to find out how the birds find food in “different environments”.

LABOR’S candidate for the federal seat of Corangamite is certainly keen.
In a media release this week she described herself as “Federal MP, Libby Coker”.
That would have come as a surprise to Liberal Sarah Henderson, who won the seat from Darren Cheeseman at the 2013 federal election.
Ms Coker will have to wait at least until August 2016 for her crack at the seat.
Maybe she hopes for a self-fulfilling prophecy.
