Last Wednesday, I heard a more tragic tale of a well-recognised Sydneysider, called Beattie Bush, who tersely sold newspapers at a busy crossroads, until asked about her nearby but idle husband, when she would "beat around the bush" to make excuses for his behaviour. {ym}:crying:

My tragic tale of losing my head seems to have be taking a life of its own! The original connotation was literal, but it's also fair play if you interpreted it as figurative!

It is quite intriguing how figurative expressions of speech like "losing one's head" can end up being taken so literally. {ym}:hmmm: {ym}:angel: {ym}:giggle:

@waggawerewolf27 dramatically converted the tale of a lost head into a very intriguing story.

Word on the street has it, that the news of your losing your head so dramatically is somewhat premature, and the amateur sleuths had better look elsewhere to find the owner of the head. {ym}:eyebrow: {ym}:hmmm: {ym}:grin:

I lost my head and it rolled away down the street. I only found out where it ended up because its location was in the newspaper.

Sometimes when reading the newspapers, I am in danger of falling asleep! {ym}:grin:

At midnight, I will hopefully be sound asleep.

At 6.30 pm on New Year's Eve in 2006 we took a Qantas flight from Sydney to Antarctica, reaching Terra Nova & returning to Sydney at 6.30 am, on New Year's Day, 2007, only to find my husband had been televised at midnight, holding up a celebratory glass of champagne. {ym}:giggle:

I nearly got myself and my (at that time) fiancé stranded on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland when we missed a flight back to Melbourne - thankfully though, there was another one a couple of hours later! And she still married me! {ym}:giggle: {ym}:lol: {ym}:love:
