Nov. 18th, 2009 06:06 pmCams Alders last night for Fareham Town v Moneyfields. There was loads in the programme about the unjust defeat on Saturday with a rallying call to the fans to take the positives from the game and get behind the lads for the league campaign, together with a puff on how the club have applied for promotion to the Zamaretto. Presumably the announcement was timed to give everyone's morale a boost, but sadly the message didn't carry to the players. They weren't at the races and deservedly lost 3-0 to a series of wonder strikes. At full time, Town's chances of making the top two seemed dead.
The bacon rolls were perfect though. If promotion were decided on the quality of a club's bacon butties, Fareham would most certainly be in the Premiership!
At the office this morning I'm A Celebrity - Get Me Out Of Here 9 was the talk of our section - and just in the middle of the conversation, the news broke that Camilla had walked. When I relayed the message, Ray asked "Is that the Duchess of Cornwall?" I said that I'd only seen Monday night's edition, that Lucy and Kim are my favourites and there's no-one who really gets on my nerves. Bev said Katie Price got on her nerves just by being there.
Demelza said she couldn't understand why anyone went on the show. She asked "Would you eat the things they have to in the Bush Tucker Trial?" I confessed that I wouldn't mind eating a witchetty grub. That drew a chorus from the ladies - they, unlike me, clearly didn't remember Ant and Dec in the first or second season announcing that witchetty grubs taste like peanut yogurt. Demelza and Bev threatened to order one over the internet and bring it in for me to munch on. Bev asked "What about the kangaroo's..." She tailed off, unsure what to call testicles in polite, mostly female company. I completed the sentence for her.
"Jacobs."
All the girls fell about laughing. As they seemed to be avid fans of the show, I was surprised they didn't remember Joe Pasquale using the term in season 4; they just thought I'd come up with it. At least amid the all round amusement they forgot to ask me whether I'd eat the things. They then moved the conversation on, so I didn't get to reminisce about past series and reveal that I fancy Jennie Bond.
Over lunch Paula urged me to keep watching the show. She mentioned that the voters are once again picking on a contestant with multiple Bush Tucker Trials, this time Katie. After we reminisced about the useless non-efforts at BTTs of previous serial victims Natalie Appleton and Janice Dickinson, I suggested a rule change : no contestant should be allowed to do two Bush Tucker Trials in a row, or do more than three in all. This rule would be enforced by disabling a contestant's vote line for the day. Paula agreed that would be a good rule and suggested I email it in to ITV.
Later, as Bev packed her box prior to going home, she took a box of Celebrations out of the cupboard and said "Oh look, there's some witchetty grubs here" and asked if I wanted one, then added "We haven't got any Jacob's crackers, though."
