Perhaps we shouldn’t jump to conclusions over this uncalled for intrusion of privacy.
I’ve been informed by Fort Battle-Axe that the lady we see here looks remarkably like one of her old classmates,
Mrs. Beryl Ferrall, who is now headmistress of one of Queensland’s finest finishing schools for young northern ladies.
Beryl and her two daughters, Sheryl and Meryl, seen to the right of their mother, are the state organisers of ‘Leak
One For Locky’, a final and uniquely Brisbane way to say a ‘State Of Origin’ goodbye, as a tribute to Darren Lockyer.
Yes, they do things a little differently in the Sunshine State don’t they ?
Apparently this ‘ladies only event’ saw the cream of Queensland’s womanhood turn maroon into very deep crimson
all around the stadium right on the final whistle, which helped camouflage the sounds brilliantly. All good girls from
Coolangatta to Cooktown know how to show some class, but none more so than this doyen of decorum, Beryl Ferrall.
She showed her entire 2011 senior girls how a true lady can ‘Leak One For Locky’, without getting one drip on her
designer tracky-daks.
Many dinky-di Queenslanders still remember Beryl as the 1972 ‘dux of the school’ in Deportment and High Etiquette,
winning the school’s ‘Moreton Bay Award’, a handsome trophy consisting of a bloated coral trout with a cane toad
hanging out it’s arse. And, although coming last in that year of extremely low standards, Fort Battle-Axe bears her
old classmates no ill will, indeed, she no longer even attends re-unions. Of course this has nothing to do with never
being told the location of re-unions as part of the deal to drop all charges from the 1973 disaster.
So there ‘wee’ have it. All tastefully explained and no harm done. Just a little tinkle for a good cause and no reason
at all to get upset like everyone did back at the Sydney Olympics. I still weep when I think of Beryl and Fort Battle-Axe
drinking 3 slabs of XXXX and then managing to clear the crowd from 25 premium front row seats for their friends and
family by performing one of the most spectacular and acoustic synchronised dumps ever witnessed !
