  1. Tru dat...but it's not like he's been breaking his back doing a manual job in a factory for 50 years, is it?

    Yeah, well, the British media obviously like to keep that quiet.

    Bit of a weird tournament thus far and somewhat of a damp squib overall except for "crazy Wednesday" And while It was exciting to watch Stakhovsky beat Fed with *gasp* serve and volley on a grass court ultimately, Stakhovsky - to use a Jimmy Connors phrase - was a "spoiler" who you could of bet your house on him going in his next match (and so it was, to Meltzer 3 sets to 1) If a Stakhovsky or a Rosol could make a run to the final, or at least win a few more matches, it would be more interesting and worthwhile - as it stands - these one off fluke performances just rob the tournament of the big names which most people are looking forward to watching in the later stages. Alas, this is sport.

    Why is she even representing Britain? Born in Melbourne and both her parents are Aussies. Strange....

    Warped, but not banned. Yet
  6. I keep an interested eye on Aussie politics as it's so cutthroat and quite entertaining - some real characters. Rudd again proves that you can't trust a word they say "under no circumstances would I return to the Labor leadership" - yeah right - and he's back! didn't see that coming. Something creepy about Rudd, he has an avuncular, almost cuddly exterior yet you wouldn't be surprised to find he has bodies buried in the back yard. So yeah, erm, thanks for your crazy political merry-go-round.

    Five straight Wimbledon finals winning two of those suggests not:P

    More to the point; where is Nadal's head at right now? I can't believe after last year he's come back and gone down in straight sets in the first round. He looked injured, but how can you beat Djokovic a week before 9-7 in the fifth set and be injured? Doesn't make any sense.

    Thank you, I try to be accurate:p "Andy" because the commentators always use his first name as if they are best mates. Which they may well be; but it just sounds unprofessional and biased. No, I haven't heard him "baiting" Tracy Austin:p I've only heard him do the FO

    Probably not something Andy Roddick will want to re-live.
  12. I fail to see how that has got any bearing on whether he should post those videos or not. Maybe he isn't even aware of that earth shattering news? anyway, who cares.

    Yes, maybe I should get behind "Andy" and see how it feels to a patriotic Brit for once. Maybe....

    McEnroe, Becker and Cash are also commentators on the beeb every Wimbledon. I like Mac (although he's not to everyone's taste) Becker is so so and Cash, while he seems like a really nice bloke, is pretty hopeless with his inane insights and rather nervous delivery. Which is probably why he gets relegated to the outside courts covering the less high profile games. I wish they would hire Jim Courier: he does the French Open and is really knowledgeable and quite funny. The rain thing, I wouldn't count on it....supposed to be a heat wave this week (28c lol) so I'm sure It'll be pissing down next week just in time...

    Well done "Andy" for his win at Queens. (I'll sure he'll be reading this, so) he has grown on me. I think the coverage of Wimbledon, in particular, gets spoiled by the overt jingoistic need to have the first male winner since Fred Bleedin' Perry and all the hype and pressure they heap on "Andy". I used to want all British hopes to keep failing because of this, but maybe (although we'd never hear the last of it and the hype would be sickening) it would be better long term if "Andy" won it so Andrew Castle and Sue Barker could STFU and let me watch Wimbledon in peace; without them putting everything in context of how the "Brits are doing" for example: Nadal went out last year and they were positively wetting themselves with glee and plotting Andy's run to the final while he was still in the third round. "Andy" seems like a normal bloke from a fairly normal background; so I'd rather he won it than some posh kid whose father is a major. Wimbledon countdown: T minus 8 days.
  16. Key word: wants to know. I hardly use it myself and they don't have any of my personal details. If people are willing enough to hand over all their details, and even allow a company to spy on their movements via GPS then more fool them - they can surely have no complaints. Back in WW2 British propaganda posters used to say "Careless Talk Costs Lives" just today, I was watching this clip and it reminded me of that. I think people share too much these days...

  19. But wait isn't God is all powerful? scratch that, I don't care. Satan is a literary construct to enable monotheism to deflect all of the bad things that happen onto another imaginary being they made up, and God can carry on getting the credit for when an old lady and her dog are pulled out of the rubble of a natural disaster that four hundred other people lost their lives in. It's a miracle! This video gives one an overview of the evolution of nasty old Satan in the bible.

    "or pure disillusion" I'd go with that But mate, seriously, some bad news on that front....she's dating her coach (although she denies it) http://tennis.si.com/2012/09/13/serena-williams-dating-coach-patrick-mouratoglou/

    ....and you have got about 500 open topics to be dealing with - so I'll let you off
  22. Thanks for.....overseas Home and Away awareness ambassador Melissa George "I don't need credibility from my country any more, I just need them all to be quiet. If they have nothing intelligent to say, please don't speak to me any more. I'd rather be having a croissant and an espresso in Paris or walking my French bulldog in New York City. I've never spoken out about it because I have to be the loyal good Aussie, who goes away and comes home. But I'm a really hard-working woman and people have to respect me for what I've done ... my next call will be to Home And Away to ask them to pay me because nobody does more promotion for that f***ing show than me." I was smitten with her back in the day, and she's still gorgeous, although one gets the feeling she's become a bit of a snooty sort these days (not sure what gives me that idea) Apparently, she makes more money now from inventing a Velcro clasp for clothes than she does acting. Weird...
