The way the camera kept on zooming in on a guy in the crowd I know from work at the end there during the speeches added to the feeling this is all just a weird fever dream.

The best bit was how excited being interviewed by Tim Henman she seemed to be

Post by **blombluss** » Sat Sep 11, 2021 11:54 pm

She was outstanding. Utterly marvellous!

Well, he has got a hill named after him, I mean, who wouldn't be excited by talking to someone with a hill named after them?

LOOK AT IT

stand up, face it, put your hand on your heart (left breast) and sing to the glory of the house of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha

it's not my fault patriotism leads to anatomical confusion

I thought you were supposed to lie down and think of the Queen until it subsides.

It drew 9 million viewers on Channel 4! What a lovely, albeit all too rare, shared television event.

I think so, yes.

I say it’s a guy I know but he’s a senior manager type who probably wouldn’t know who I was.

Post by **dng** » Sun Sep 12, 2021 8:07 pm

The best sort of guy to know from work

Post by **vom** » Sun Sep 12, 2021 10:34 pm

also Djokovic lost

hooray!

VES

The microphone-headed, notbread-eating, antivaxxer piece of shit.

Post by **dng** » Sun Sep 12, 2021 10:49 pm

Djokovic and the us open crowd are the joint worst things in all of tennis

Post by **dng** » Sun Sep 12, 2021 10:49 pm

Even beyond inverdale in utter contemptuousness

Post by **dng** » Sun Sep 12, 2021 10:50 pm

So about seven million hurrahs for lovely medvedev

Post by **Bruce Sato** » Sun Sep 12, 2021 11:17 pm

Lovely Medvedev and his incipient bald

At least Inverdale has the amusement value of looking like a corpse that someone has propped up in a chair and filled with animatronics

BOLLOCKS DJOKOVIC

Post by **blombluss** » Wed Jan 05, 2022 2:30 am

He's a good man, a Serb man.

Post by **dng** » Wed Jan 05, 2022 2:04 pm

tennis is shite

Post by **blombluss** » Wed Jan 05, 2022 7:48 pm

The Austalans are having second thoughts...

Post by **dng** » Wed Jan 05, 2022 8:38 pm

A real life ruse out of some comic book. Now they can lock him in the basement forever

Post by **Bruce Sato** » Wed Jan 05, 2022 9:35 pm

DJOKOVIC IS {s}DEAD{/s}DEPORTED, GIVE ITEMS TO WHO?

Excellent

Post by **blombluss** » Sat Jan 08, 2022 1:46 pm

It's all going SOOOO well, isn't it, for both Djokovic, Tennis Australia, state and federal governments!!!!

I, for one, look forward to the Serbian-Australian war.

boooooo

'Nice' to see Farage getting involved, also.

Post by **Bruce Sato** » Fri Jan 14, 2022 12:25 pm

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Post by **dng** » Fri Jan 14, 2022 2:46 pm

I'm still not sure he's actually dead yet

Post by **Bruce Sato** » Fri Jan 14, 2022 4:37 pm

If he somehow gets to play on Monday, I suspect the crowd will come in with halfbricks.

Post by **blombluss** » Fri Jan 14, 2022 7:48 pm

If I were Australian, I'd steer clear of Serbia for a while.

Post by **blombluss** » Thu Jan 20, 2022 11:55 pm

Oh noes Murray and Raducanu.

Post by **blombluss** » Thu Jan 20, 2022 11:55 pm

I balem Djokovic

Post by **Bruce Sato** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 11:31 am

Hooray for Barty yesterday

This Nadal-Medvedev match is quite exciting, Baldvedev coming back from 5-4 and set point down to win the second set in a tiebreak

Post by **dng** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 12:31 pm

Nadal's still going to win though, isn't he

Post by **Bruce Sato** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 1:05 pm

Post by **Bruce Sato** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 2:15 pm

Better Nadal than Djokovic, but still: PISS

Post by **dng** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 3:13 pm

Making them play until 2 in the morning is such stupid scheduling

Post by **dng** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 3:14 pm

If they at least put it on at a proper time I wouldn't have to listen to it because it'd have finished hours ago

Post by **dng** » Fri Apr 08, 2022 4:36 pm

oh no boris what have you done now

I'd still rather have that Boris as PM.
