A local man has this weekend taken a plane load of lives into his own hands.
Andrew Gavin (29) from our town's pebblecrete paradise did so on Sunday arvo, when rolling back into town from a bucks party down in Brisbane.
Sitting aboard BetootaPelican Flight BP397 to Remienko Domestic Airport, Gavin decided to ignore the instructions of flight staff and prioritise his own dopamine receptors.
With the plane charging out of the river city and hitting the space above the greatest concentration of bridges on planet earth, Gavin was observed watching the opening game of the NRL Vegas Double header.
"Yeah, I started envisaging my fate aboard a spiralling firey tube hurtling into the ground just outside of Ipswich," said one man across the aisle from Gavin, who spoke to The Advocate on the condition of anonymity.
"And look, I'm all for a bit of social scrolling or watching the footy on the runway," he continued.
"But when we are ascending into the air, the aircraft is rattling and the baby in front is screaming, I feel like you should be adhering to safety protocols."
Thankfully, after the flight landed, Gavin spoke to The Advocate, where he accused us of being woke for asking him about the incident.
"Fucking just trying to watch the footy mate," he said.
"First leg of my multi was looking fire too."
"And then the airstaff chick came and roused on me."
The Advocate has chosen not to publish the proceeding two sentences.
More to come.
