from penny darling to pretty ordinary

With the share market awash with Lemming Fever, Jervois had a down day on Friday too (8% down) following its 13% increase late on Thursday.

A 5% net increase, after the Big Announcement, is hardly something to write home to mother about!

Yawn! Apart from the Howard and Rudd peeing contest, I wonder what's on telly tonight?

At Saint Rock's Primary (in the 1940s) the boys would hold regular peeing contests - to see who could reach highest up the Boy's Toilet urinal wall.

I blame Dougie Robertson for my inferiority complex.

Dougie could not only reach to the top of the urinal wall - he could reach *over* the top into the Girls Toilets - amid much giggling and squealing.

Despite intensive therapy, I've never really recovered from the humiliation inflicted on my sense of Australian manhood by Dougie Robertson - and neither will the loser of the Howard/Rudd peeing contest.
