A local Betoota Ponds man who remembered Valentines Day for the first time in his 4-year relationship has burnt through all of his newly earned brownie points over the weekend.
Michael Hawkins (29) was feeling pretty chuffed with himself for remembering the big day, and thought he might treat himself to a schooner or two over the weekend.
That was 72 hours ago.
And Michael’s girlfriend, Tash, is still absolutely fuming this morning.
The Advocate managed to track down Michael this morning to see what kind of state the man had
“I’m was in the good books so hard,” a shadow of Micahel said to our reporters at his desk this morning.
“I think I might be out of them now.”
The Advocate then contacted Tash to confirm, and that was, in fact, the case.
“I don’t care that we went for a nice dinner and that he got me flowers, he was out for 48 hours, and 24 of those were with a flat phone,” she said.
“I kept trying to call but his phone goes straight to voicemail.”
“I thought his benders were a thing of the past, I guess not”
More to come.
