I walked out the gate one morning on the way to work with the absolute mother of all hangovers, and the girl next door came out and passed me sporting a bright purple and red striped helmet hairdo.
I instantly decided I was, in fact, in no condition to go to work that day.

I attempted a Cinemotion shift while hungover. Basically a task which requires you to walk around in large circles as you operate the ride.

Lasted an hour

Bec Maddern, Mike Amor caught trashing Novak Djokovic in leaked Channel 7 video | news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site

Just saying what we're all thinking

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Yeah, even if it's a set-up, it's pretty funny.

It did feel like Maddern was doing it intentionally. Amor was barely engaged in the conversation.

Maddern is a footy barracker, probably hates tennis.

Calling out Novak transcends codes

Hello!!!!!

Hey!!!

 

[standupand]

Yeah, even if it's a set-up, it's pretty funny.

Almost certainly a set-up. But Bec (who I'm sure must read Geelong Bigfooty right?) - hello and two thumbs up to you!

 

[darren forssman]

Yeah, even if it's a set-up, it's pretty funny.

Amor setting up Maddern? He was barely audible at times and was obviously aware that they could be recorded.

Yeah, the guy was detestable before this furor.

If he is expecting a warm fuzzy welcome when he eventually gets on the court I am sure he will be shocked.

I've got a few Star Wars colouring books and some of the images trump the one above - these images are from the internet, but I'm pretty sure I've got some of these or at least very similar ones

Let’s the kids use their imagination.

Ever considered a purple storm trooper?

Exactly. Was just about to post something similar.

And there SHOULD be purple storm troopers.

And when the image is an already black Darth Vader, exactly what is one colouring in?

Glue + glitter = a new outfit for Mr Vader

I can excuse the storm trooper but the darth Vader is a completely different story.

And I'm sure Munich will be our own live on-court reporter for the occasion.

 

[Shell]

Or.. court side perhaps. Lol

 

[Phipppppa]

I’ve never been too keen on tennis as a sport, watching or playing. But I always find myself watching bits of the Australian open.

Guess there’s nothing else to watch.

 

[Munich]

And I'm sure Munich will be our own live on-court reporter for the occasion.

I won't be on the court but yes, happy to report live from inside RLA

 

[Shell]

I watch the Aus Open 24/7. Is my tennis fix for the entire year.

I just love it. Used to watch Wimbledon as well, and bits of the US Open- but not anymore. Cbf'd with the time difference. And you gotta watch tennis (and sport in general) live.

 

[Munich]

Oi!

I prob lean towards Tennis over footy

 

[Shell]

AFL is shit now. Lets face it.

Tennis is tennis.
I would like to see more serve and volleys tho.

 

[Munich]

AFL is sh*t now. Lets face it.

Tennis is tennis.
I would like to see more serve and volleys tho.

Then you just need to watch the absolute hottie Maxime Cressy.

You're welcome.

Yeah, it is going to be bad, with potential to get very ugly.
