Random things on your mind.. (Part 4)

Cause Tennis is boring, and apart from Rafter, most Aussie male tennis players in the past decade have been spoilt brats.

Fair enough then. But his demolition of Soderling last night can't be ignored, this kid will be a star.

The win over Daveydenko showed more.
Rd 3 he was playing a guy who had come off a very tough 5 setter, where he had to dig deep and overcome Hewitt after being down 2 sets to love.

Against Daveydenko he was playing a star, ok, on his last legs, but he was fresh and ready to make one last shot at Wimbledon.

Both were good efforts though.
I'm hoping he can beat Malisse and play Djokovic in the Quarters.

Anyone been to Valencia?

Watching the Formula one, how nice does that place look. Quality.

Leith Forrest was saying that Roy Laird hates flying on planes yesterday

Leith Forrest was saying that Roy Laird hates flying on planes yesterday

that's an oft quoted fact about Roy and his reluctance of going to the AFL, he's got a terrible phobia of flying. Been known for years.

I can think of a German or two I get excited about

Both Williams 'sisters' are now out

Couldnt happen to a nicer set of blokes.

"Yes, I'm super happy I lost. Go women's tennis!"

Womens tennis is rubbish, and has been for a while. Just the two Williams sisters, who simply used brute force to stay at the top for so long, winning grand slams and playing bugger all else - even now, well past their peak, they can still do it - and a mishmash of Eastern European girls with all the mental fortitude of a sugar glass window at a cricket ground.

Which is born out in the results - when the Williams are fit and trying, they blitz the competition. All the rest can't can string together enough small time stuff for a high ranking, but choke and lose to qualifiers and wildcards at the major tournaments, and endless turnover of players who aren't really good enough.

It's just boring to watch, and no wonder everyone is turning off in droves - as opposed to mens Tennis, which is the strongest it has been in decades, even if every tournament including the grass of Wimbledon has been turned into a baseline battle.

I'm spewing that Fed vs Tsonga wasn't on TV, some of the highlights they were showing through the Tomic match were outstanding.

Ditto the men's doubles.

Have a Scoopon for Flufferz car wash. Earlier this week I thought I'd call and book in, thinking I'd get in Friday no problems. Nope - booked out until next Thursday. Ok, so try a Saturday - 5 week wait! So booked in for that Saturday, which is the last Saturday before the Scoopon expires (phew).

Obviously don't want repeat business when many other car wash places you can just rock up without a booking.

To be fair though, they sold over 4200 Scoopons. They'd probably be a little busy.

I think Andy Murray will win the mens

Fair enough, and I waited until now because I was burning off the last batch for The Wash on Unley Rd.

One things for sure - with another voucher for 2 more washes elsewhere valid until November my car will be spoilt over the next few months!

Good luck, I had one and went there and the job was complete shit.

Why to parents bring infants/children to cinemas then not control them. Went to see Mr Poppins Penguins tonight and while it's a good movie, having Mr and Mrs deadbeat parent up the back letting their children run amok in the theatre wasn't good.

If you can't control your kids in movie theatres don't bring them!

I would have said something Couldn't have resisted maybe five years ago no, but these days it costs a fair bit to go to the movies so yeah if anyone starts ruining it they'll be told.

I had free tickets so the cost didn't worry me. I'm surprised no one else said something though.

Anyone going to WWE on Monday the 4th of July at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre ??

Oh god no!

 

[Dirty Bird]

Not for a stupid house show.
If it was televised, then I'd consider it

 

[Marty64]

Need to brush up on my movie skills.

Hoping I can encourage a lapsed North Melbourne supporter that going to the footy here is not that bad. Big ask I know...
