CATS star Jimmy Bartel might be spending more time than usual in the change-room after matches to spruce up for his new role.
The Brownlow medallist was this week named “the first ever Australian L’Oreal Men Expert Ambassador”.
Bartel revealed he was a “long-time devotee” of the cosmetic brand’s products.
He was “looking forward” to sharing his “tips and favourite products with Aussie men”.
Bartel will even appear in “educational videos” on skin-care routines.
Footy endorsements have come a long way since Gary ‘Buddha’ Hocking was paid to change his name to a Cat food brand.
ISIS is on the way to Waurn Ponds.
More specifically, it’s planning a “project” at the suburb’s Deakin University campus.
And helpfully, it announced its intentions in the public notices of a local paper.
Before ASIO gets its trenchcoats in a twist, we should clarify that the ISIS in question is actually a construction company – “Australia’s leading commercial fit-out and refurbishment specialist”, in fact.
Its public notice – with the company’s name as an attention-grabbing headline – sought quotes from suppliers and subcontractors for the Deakin project.
Phew! For a minute there…
WHILE on Deakin, its boffins were busy this week announcing all sorts of weird and wonderful research findings.
First we learnt that kids are more active in winter.
This might surprise parents who spend countless hours driving between sports and training nights from April to September.
Then came the revelation that crimson rosellas identify each other by the smell of old feathers.
“Amazing”, was the Deakin description.
But can kids identify parrots by the smell of old research papers?
Quick, put in a research funding grant!
THE Indy’s story last week about a new Macca’s creating 50 jobs at Lara drew a mixed response from social media enthusiasts.
Some welcomed the investment. Others bemoaned the creep of fast food.
The same story also referenced Geelong’s youth unemployment rate of 18.2 per cent – the 16th worst in regional Australia.
All we can say is, “Would you like fries with that?”
