Episode 109

Everyone but Sandman, Lexie and Lincoln, are passing around the goomy. Sandman is in the loungeroom, which gently slopes to the east and has enough soil in the carpet (but not enough sunlight) to grow wheat, watching Lexie and Lincoln snogging and drinking port. They seem to move their heads an awful lot. Suddenly, Lincoln catches the Sandman perving on them. He starts making quick little glances at Sands, so it appears that he is just taking one long look. Lexie can see him now too. She smiles. Ooh - he likes that. Sandman wanders wether or not they want him to go over and join them. Then Lexie gives him a definite 'fuck-right-off' look.

As he turns, he catches the tail end of Robert saying "Everyone, this is Stephanie..." Oh My GOD...to be continued...

Episode 110

Stephanie is gorgeous, perhaps the most beautful girl to ever set foot in 204 Bell street. Red hair, alabaster skin, green eyes, no body fat whatsoever. She looks quite corporate in her pants suit. How did Robert ever get her? After she' introduced, Paddle asks why they took soo long, Robert whinges back that they had some business. "What business?", asks Paddle. "None your business!" Stephanie says in a vietnamese accent, fairly jarring Paddle. Turns out that Stephanie grew up in Vietnam, and has developed a bit of an accent.

at 7.25 Rueben serves his wild mushy soup. Lincoln and Lexie are on one side of the table with Robert and Stephanie on the other. Sandman sits at one end of the table, with Paddle at the other. Rueben sits between Paddle and Lincoln, with Karen and Lenny either side of the Sandman, who is sitting at chest level.

During dinner, four things of importance and great interest happen. It is revealed that Lincoln and Lexie met at an art show. But that's not one of the Big4. As Lincoln is pooring some port, he reveals his job. Lincoln is...to be continued...

Episode 111

Lincoln is a vinyeron, and the Sandman apologises for making us wait so long. Lincoln rambles on about his vineyard in the valley. Paddle asks him if he lives there, "sort of" says Lincoln. That reply made Paddle curious, and when Paddle is curious, e v e r y o n e is curious. (Somehow they changed the subject when I wasn't looking)

Sandman was taught never to ask about how much a person earns and which way they vote. After a couple of ports and a beer, not only does he ask both within 30 minutes, but he also drops his daks twice. It also becomes apparent that Lincoln has another pretty big secret, one that will explain why Lexie has been keeping him such a big secret...to be continued...

Episode 112

At 8.15, after some more port, Stephanie and Karen are discussing what sex would be like after child birth. Sands is fascinated to hear a PE teacher and a corporate looking woman with a vietnamese accent talk about there sexual concerns. Karen says that she wants to get a caeserean, Stephanie says "You no be silly!". Lincoln, not thinking about says, nonchalanty says that's it is indeed different after child birth. Everyone stops. It's like when the local bad-ass walks into the bar in the old westerns and the piano player stops and they all look at him. "How do you know that Lincoln", asks Karen. Lincoln, knowing that there is no turning back now says he has two kids. Everyone looks at Lexie, then at Lincoln, then at Lexie, then at Lincoln, then at Lexie, but noone looks direclty at anyone. Lexie wants Karen to finish her line of questioning, but hasn't known her long enought to tell her. Tip 42 for share house living - If you want to be rude in a share house, do it in the first two hours. People are always polite to strangers for at least two hour. You can literally see the word glee written on Paddle's face as he asks "Where is their mother?"...to be continued...
