Annika had her graduation on Saturday attended by myself, Julia and Amanda. The boys couldn't come because they would have been witnessed eating in public. It was a big event at Melbourne Uni overseen by Glyn Davis, the current vice-chancellor who I taught when he was in second year of high school at Kogarah Marist Brothers. We retired afterwards to Jimmy Watson's Wine Bar in Carlton for an excellent dinner. Annika is having a break from study and has secured a share house in Richmond which has plenty of space for visiting cousins. Amanda joined us and will be graduating herself at the end of this year with a degree in creative writing. You'll all be characters in her first novel. Good on you Annika - a great achievement.

Congratulations Annika! Where is the funny hat you are supposed to wear at those things? Your the best! Try this list. Brainiest Box Hill Roffs;

Take into account that Nick got 2 band 6's in his HSC so there is a fair gap between 4 and 5.
Hey Nick, I wonder if Bear's camera person, says things like "please Bear, don't eat the maggots, don't do it, no dude, ohhh no!
Nice work, Annika.
I was impressed with Bear the other night when, stumbling across a rotten carcass that even he couldn't make use of, he found a beetle crawling across it and merely popped that in his mouth without so much as a word.
Thanks for the congratulations everyone.
Nick, I'd like to see Bear survive five years at Melbourne University. I doubt he'd find many yak/bison/buffalo roaming the campus. He would have to resort to "Sushi a GoGo" from the food court and even if he survived the salmonella poisoning, he would never recover his reputation.
No one mentioned it was first class honours! That is a huge deal. Congratulations sis.

Congratulations Annika - that is a wonderful achievement. Back in my day only GIRLS got more than a "P"....wait a minute...What is also an achievement is that it gave your dad the (perhaps only) opportunity to wear his new Ho Chi Minh suit recently purchased at great expense in Vietnam. You hardly look embarrassed at all!
That is better than what the bear could do, I imagine. Congrats and top work.
Congrats Annika, not only for graduating with 1st class honours but also prompting a comparison with Bear Grylles. You have combined an excellent achievement with a true honour. Touche.

4. Nick - the Bear Grylls comment was not funny one bit, so you slipped to 4th
