[Dog Star (Phil)]

A bloke at work, who has recently arrived from Brisbane, swears that this is a true story.
He told me that when a local football club (no names-no pack drill) built their new club house/playing field, their flood lights were deliberately tilted at an angle to shine into surrounding houses and windows. When people inevitably complained, they "complied with community spirit" and decreased the angle just enough to avoid the houses.
In this way they are able to project enormous volumes of light into the sky with little risk of further complaints as they have already complied with the locals' wishes. Anyone who complains now will look like a whingeing ratbag.
Claims he got the story from one of the board members, who related the story with fiendish glee.
I so want to not believe this but...
