Jungle Cats or Tazmanian Devils?

Cool cat Victor hasn't been doing a great amount to secure his 'gangsta' image recently, but tonight he's truely burnt his suit, thrown away his hat, and shot his own gun at his head!
As we have come to know the "tough" guys often stay up late chatting, scheming, breaking rules and deciding on the way things in the house should be, Jungle Cat stylee.
But tonight the mask slipped when both admitted to being TV Soap fans, and not even the 'almost credible' gangster soap, Eastenders. No, not even the soap that evokes Jason's love of the outdoors, Emmerdale, or even the long-running Coronation St! What rocks these big boys boats are Aussie soaps!
During their normal nightly banter Victor admitted that, age 15, he watched Neighbours avidly, getting together with his friends and commenting on the storylines as they happened. He also quoted recent events regarding Dr. Karl Kennedy in a way that only a truly devoted viewer could.
Mr. 'Cool-Guy', Jason Cowen then felt able to admit his crush on Home and Away star, the ginger Isla Fischer (surely not due to her hair-colour?).
Being "cool" these days is a tough job, for sure. The right clothes, the right hair, the right hat (in Vic's case), but surely prefered TV viewing MUST come into it?! And I speak as a proudly "un-cool" Neighbours devotee! Not a "gangsta" or "Jungle Cat" wannabee! ;)
