Cyclone Hamish is tracking south east, parallel with the Queensland coast, and authorities are now predicting there is only a 5% chance it will make landfall. It currently lies 225kms off the coast from Yapoon.
In other news, a local radio station in the Ipswich area, River 94.9, managed to get their hands on two tickets to Coldplay in Brisbane tonight. The competition closed today - prior entrants were required to text their name and suburb to the radio station whenever a Coldplay song was played. This morning when the hosts phoned the winner, it was Mum's phone that rang.
Radio host: We're drawing the Coldplay tickets now
Mum (to trainee at work): Oh I entered this yesterday
Radio host: Now we're calling them
Phone rings in Mums pocket
Mum: O thats my phone!
Radio host: (post formalities and hysterical acceptance speech from Mum) So do you have a date for the show?!
Cheeky.
Luckily, that date is me! Coldplay - tonight at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre. Viva la Vida!
