LARRY BUGGERS OFF

Much  of  the  joy of  island  life  has   flown   with  the  departure of  Larry the  swearing  Lorikeet,  seen  here  in  his  groovy  Magnetic Island  pad  with a small number of his teddy bears . Larry  has  moved back  to  his  owners  at  Mission Beach , where he was injured  during Cyclone  Larry , which prevented him from  flying . The  German Queen of the Jungle sadly  drove him to the  car  ferry  in  his  cage   along with   his  bulky  teddy  collection  and  freshly washed Purple People Eater  , then  handed him  over to his owner . With  a   whistle and  a muttered ," Bugger ! Bugger ! Bugger!", he  chugged off  for  the mainland .

An eyewitness said Larry did a lot of screeching  at the ferry ramp, as if he feared he was  being  carted off  to  the   KFC  plucking  factory . However , on arrival  at Mission Beach , he was released near  the  swimming pool and  was soon  lolling about  like  a  fruit picking  Irish  backpacker.

 The  Queen  says  she will probably  miss  vital  telephone calls because Larry  used to imitate   a  phone ringing when  he  holidayed  with   her , and  she  did not pick up the  phone . Autographed pin up  publicity  photograph  of  Larry  below . He is happy  to  endorse yoghurt , honey ,  smart  phones  ,  hang  gliders  and  pose  for   glossy  magazines  catering  for  beautiful   people  and  Ferrari  owners . In addition, he has  tickled the  fancy  of many  a  girl with a feather  in  several highly rated   television  blind  date shows.  A big  hit  in  line  dancing  competitions, Larry  is  inclined  to  be  a  show  off  and  cowboy  hats  block  his  vision  causing  him to  frequently  fall  off   the  stage and  receive  mouth to  mouth  from  a  curvy  bird .
