Band-Aid (Jeremy)
IF somebody was to rock up to University one morning with three limbs in plaster, I would happily sacrifice half an hour of my lecture time in order to hear whatever story it is they have to tell (presumably one including something as interesting as free-fall base jumping, visit Mark Latham day, or simply rather […]

Friendship (Jeremy)
It’s an interesting concept, friendship; mateship, if you will (though all mateship tends to imply to me is two friends who are both too manly to admit that they love each other). It’s certainly a difficult concept to pin down. I remember back when we had the Republican Referendum and Howard tried to write a […]

On Large Bottoms and Larger Egos (Jeremy)
I think I’ve found the best way to win the hearts of middle-aged women everywhere short of actually being Kerry O’Brien; before I did this, I was a typical male, 18-25, brash, uncouth and insensitive; suddenly, when I was carrying a bunch of flowers, I transformed into the nicest young man ever seen. A bouquet […]

Feels like a Seachange (Jeremy)
AS with life, as with competition, as with challenges, as with everything, and so it is with study. The most dangerous time of life is the first fifteen minutes (and the last fifteen can be pretty dodgy, too), the hardest steps of any race are the first ten and the last ten, and so the […]

The Last Frontier (Jeremy)
There are a few phrases in the English language which are culturally accepted as being lies from the moment they pass our lips and were never actually intended to ever be anything else. These are wide and varied in life, from “This’ll only hurt a little bit” to “It’s not you, it’s most definetely me”, […]

Tastebuds vs Weightloss (Round One!) (Jeremy)
I don’t particularly want to go into studying Biology for the money. I know there’s plenty of it, but it doesn’t really motivate me. I don’t really want to do it for the Doctors-and-Nurses scenarios; I’m happy and content (in fact ecstatic) on the pedestal where I stand. I’m altogether quite a pleasant person, so […]

How to be Australian (Jeremy)
I remember, back in China, I was travelling with some (in fact, quite a lot) of our UK buddies through the very heart of Somewhere with Nice Noodles, Somewhere with Funny Name, China when one of them turned around to me and said, “Jez, you don’t sound like an Australian!”. I suddenly grasped what they […]

That’s Probably Not The Way To Do Things (Jeremy)
LAST Tuesday I was booked in for a mid-morning gastroscopy. For those of you unaware of the delicate intricacies of this pleasant procedure, it runs through as such; Patient is sedated via an IV, Patient has local anaesthetic sprayed down the back of their throat, barely-conscious Patient has dirty great flexible tube put down their […]

I’m Not Feeling Well (Serves One) (Jeremy)
Ingredients: One Person, lots of medical equipment that goes “beep”, a virus (although some bacteria will do if you’ve run out), a bottle of pills, nearby toilet and lots of daytime television Preparation time: Three Weeks This, young chefs, is one of my favourite recipes and I would dearly like to share it with you.

Sick, sick, sick (Jeremy)
I have managed to be nicely sick over the last couple of weeks with a variety of bugs. Cold, flu, that whole sore-dizzy thing that Melbourne seems to have had over the last month, and the latest illness is something which, believe me, on a want-to-know basis, you most definetely do not want to know. […]
