Dirk's tips for successful mastication.
There's a divide in the House, no doubt about that.
But for Dirk it's not based on personality, culture or even skills of farting in tune. Nope, for the outdoorsman it all boils down to age.
Showered, fed and watered - along with Jermaine, Cleo and Ian - a good hour before the rest of the housemates, Dirk was considering his upcoming day in the kitchen while humming a little ditty to himself and making a cuppa.
"I'm gonna go wake those girls up," he told Cleo. "Make lots of noise. Giggle and laugh. See if they get grouchy."
"Last night was..." nodded Cleo, presumably recalling the unexpected wind that was blowing from the girls' corner last night.
"They do it every night, they don't give a s***," confirmed Dirk, shaking his head.
"There were repercussions after those lentils," added Cleo, finding a reason for last night's extra tittering.
"Yeah well..." began Dirk. "Not for me. They better not eat the black beans. You know you gotta chew 'em. They don't chew. I watched 'em. They chew four times and swallow. You gotta chew beans or they go down whole. And then you gotta whole heap o' trouble."
Dirk continued on the chewing/digestion axis for a few minutes more, while Cleo listened intently. Do you think he's gone a bit lentil?
