We’re suckers for angry people with clothes pegs on their noses, and even more so when there’s a prop fish involved.

Which means we’ve hit the jackpot with this story from Australia, where the smell of the now disused power station used to mask the smell of the dead fish.

And now everything’s fishy, and they hate it.

The Advertiser (Adelaide and South Australia): Port Augusta residents to get relief from Bird Lake fish odour with government funding

The Advertiser reports that the South Australia government is to front A$1.6m to help fund a solution to the problem, which will either be to treat the banks of the lake to prevent fishy smells from escaping, or to buy 50,000 new clothes pegs for residents to go on their noses.

Mayor Sam Johnson: “We’re half way there.”

Jon Bon Jovi: “Woooah-oh! Livin’ on a prayer!”

And we’re sure you’ll agree that clothes pegs on the nose are funny.

Metro: Plague of flies invades East London after fish factory burns down

Never mind the fish factory – she’s got a plastic bag full of dead flies, and a clothes peg on her nose that is so tight it has probably left a permanent mark.

Also, she agreed to be photographed by a news agency wearing a clothes peg on her nose, not realising that the internet is forever.

Queensland Times: Residents plagued by terrible smell on hot days

That’s some workmanlike nose-holding, but it’s no clothes peg on the nose, is it?

And where are your props? The Port Augusta lady had her finger coming out of a dead fish’s mouth, and what have you got between the four of you?

Nothing.

A disgrace.
