Small Talk
With so many new people, each of the campmates were keen to tell stories of their own expertise. Pat – recently returned from the Middle East on a 1980s concert tour - couldn’t believe that Willie hadn’t heard of bands like T’Pau and Katrina & The Waves.
But Jessica-Jane stuck up for Willie and said that he knew more about horses than anyone else. He told his campmates that he had won 4000 races and that he thought he was a good a jockey as Frankie Dettorri. He also talked about his days riding The Queen’s horses. “I was her last retained jockey” he said.
Oh it is painful…its becoming inflamed I can feel it swelling
Boys Will Be Boys
Mark and Dougie were both in a mischievous mood and decided that they would hide a coconut from the food trunk. They thought that only Antony would notice as he was the cook. So secreting the coconut behind a large log they undertook ‘Mission Coconut’.
Mark told Dougie how he was relieved that the camps had merged. “It’s much better now we’re all together. It was really getting me down” he said. And Dougie said “we could imagine you guys laughing”.
But Antony caught the two lads retuning from their mission. “Oh I see” he said. “Dropped by my two favourites.”
But continuing their ‘bromance’, Mark replied “You’ll never be dropped. We’re the three musketeers.”
Dougie confessed that Mark led him astray. “Mark’s a bad influence to me. He’s going to get me into trouble. Mark says we’re going to eat it (the coconut) but I’m super paranoid that everyone’s going to hate us. Bad Mark. Naughty Mark.”
Mark, Dougie and Pat caught up on the sofa and the lads told Pat what they were up to. “I think it will kick off” advised the older man. Antony will not be amused. He treats that kitchen like his children.”
But Mark was more optimistic. “ I know Antony. He won’t go mad. If no one admits it, it won’t matter.”
Later Dougie and Mark continued to plot. “If no one notices (it’s missing) after a day, we should eat it” said Dougie. But when Mark encouraged him, he said “Let’s wait until tomorrow”.
Fat-Tick-Ma
Brave Fatima took a tick head on yesterday literally. The tick had managed to burrow its way into her head. Worried Fatima showed all the other celebrities and panicked: “It has buried himself in me it is horrible I can feel it…my god what if it goes right inside?”
Fatima dashed for the Bush Telegraph and shrieked: “Oh it is painful…its becoming inflamed I can feel it swelling”. She later had it removed.
The Bromance Continues…
Mark had been playing pranks and having a laugh with Dougie all afternoon and became aware he’d left his bromance partner Antony out of the action. Antony was having a shave down in the creek when Mark joined him as he wanted to get a few things off his chest.
“I know Dougie is here but I just want you to know you don’t have to worry, I don’t think I couldn’t have done this for one minute without you” Marks told Antony.
“I want to be assured I have a friend for life?” said Mark, “You’ve no worries there’ said Antony.
“I’ve been down this afternoon and I couldn’t figure out why but then when you came back to camp (after celebrity chest) I was happy again” said Mark. Mark continued to talk to Antony whilst he was trying to shave, “I obviously love your company but maybe I feel safe when you’re around?”.
The bromance ‘love in’ continued with Mark telling Antony, “I feel like you’re a proper big brother, I’m so glad I met ya”. Antony stops shaving and says, “You’ve been a real good pal”.
