you want Testosterone, eh??
Well, on a less cute and fluffy note then, while Tom was in Adelaide, going on a nice little feildtrip and recovering from his hangover, yesterday when I got out of class I had a message on my phone from Helen our landlord, saying “ah, Zoe, there is a bit of water coming through the downstairs flat’s ceiling, prehaps you could go home and see what it is?”
Needless to say it WAS, of course and against all my prayers, the fishtank - many emergency calls were made to fishgeeks in the area - one has just had twins who are in intensive care (but generously still said he would come), the other was unreachable but the third was picking his mother up from the airport and kindly stopped in to help asess the damage and give much needed advice (like: what do I do?! and: will anything sting me?!) An 8o ltr nally-bin, several mouthfuls of siphon kickstarting, poo-laden tankwater, some creative coral juggling and 3 HOURS later… the entire contents of the tank are now in a big plastic tub on the ground, thank you very much.
Man, has Tom got some favour returing to do when he get’s back! I would recommend SPARKLEY and SHINY, Baby.
Also - the buses now drive around with their displays alternating STOCKLAND/HOSPITAL/UNI (or wherever they’re heading) with GO COWBOYS! and Council has next tuesday morning initiated a staff ’send-off’ where we’re encouraged to turn up to a little function in the forecourt in our support paraphenalia to - yes, seriously - wave at the bus as it goes past to the airport taking the players to Sydney. Now that’s testosterone!

Well done. That’s testosterone with class
p.s. Who is Maria and Jade? You know the rule is that you can’t introduce new characters into the storyline without some introduction
