Day Six in the Big Brother Boat House

It’s the penultimate day in the boat house and the house mates have been very busy with the find-a-cox challenge, Rona has even taken a break from her erging to help the girl’s team.

Jane’s first call is to Marcus to see if he can help, unfortunately he is busy seat racing for the 3 seat in the men’s 3rd 8 and so can’t spare the time. This early set back doesn’t deter the girls and they start calling all the usual hideouts for diminutive steerspeople: The Jockey club, the local kindergartens, a traveling circus, RSPVC (Royal Society for the Protection of the Vertically Challenged), the Hotwells division of CFA (Control Freaks Anonymous) and BAD CALL (Bristol and District Coxing Association for Little Lay-abouts) none of which have any willing volunteers.
Even a trawl through the Red Squirrel’s infamous Black Book draws a blank.

The boys on the other hand have a very willing volunteer, however the rules of the task state that none of the house mates can offer their services much to Neil’s disappointment. With Stewey now, rather foolishly, deciding to row again and George incapacitated it seems that the task will not be completed. However all is not lost as Steve remembers that Ben Kadinopoulos can source any part for any boat for half price and within the hour. Sure enough, after a quick phone call and a wait of 59mins 36s a small parcel arrives containing a nearly new Rowley Douglas. The coxswain is quickly installed in the novice’s boat and the boys win the task.

The boys retire to the Love Shack for a few celebratory drinks and after a while invite the girls in too and continue drinking long into the night…..

Early outings for the novice eight were not short of incident.
