Joey starts a movement

Joey starts a movement Brian Richardson of MacMasters Beach recounted an encounter with Andrew "Joey" Johns around 10 years ago while selling copies of Big League magazine for Rotary at Penrith Stadium. He expected either a sale or advice on the game but was met with a simple question: "Where are the toilets, mate?" Bart Fielden of Avoca Beach described bumping into a man at a Kings Cross restaurant during his sister's 21st birthday party. After helping the man up, he realized he had collided with Tom Cruise, who glared at him before Nicole Kidman intervened, telling security not to worry. Greg Oehm of Western Creek, Tasmania, questioned whether playing Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik could repel bogong moths, though he admitted the piece unsettles him personally. He noted that such insects are not a concern in Tasmania. Warren Menteith of Bali suggested that playing Barry Manilow at shopping centers keeps teenagers away. Manbir Singh Kohli of Pemulwuy explained that although he does not purchase items from servos due to owning an electric vehicle, he still uses their free air pumps for his tires. He expressed uncertainty about whether this constitutes theft. Ron Polglaze of Hazelbrook wrote about confusion regarding proper dining etiquette after attending the Golden Spurtle Championships. He asked how to eat porridge and with which spoon, citing concerns about social judgment. He sought guidance from figures like June Dally-Watkins or local spurtle champions.
