US Tennis Open Borathon

Nobody will have to ''lie'' at this election. The Libs have formed a circular firing squad and done the job on themselves.

If Bill tells the truth (yeah right! LOL

), we can start celebrating another LNP election win now! Beer

In reference to every post in the Trump thread ... "There may have been a tiny bit of license taken there" ... Ok, Thanks for the "heads up" PT!

Ok, CNNPT, you can keep on defending ALL of the cheats and liars - they clearly share your lofty principled view on things! Pig

That's funny Smile

I like that you have a go at the LNP, the party that is primarily responsible for the society we ALL enjoy today, the envy of the world, the place that every economic refugee wants to live.

I do feel for you though, that at the same time you feel obliged to defend the lying cheating scum that is the ALP/Greens/Socialist/Unions who would turn the place upside down and turn it all to gelati for someone else to clean up, if given the chance ... Unhappy

Why don't you ever talk about those socialist policies? ... can't blame you. Embarrassed

That's a Socialist reality macca, not a policy. Dead

Ooh, US$17000 fine for Serena. Nasty. That's got to hurt. Could break a fingernail digging into her Hermes bag for spare change.

An honest politician is one who when he is bought will stay bought.

Global outrage over that cartoon.

Golf would come very close & Roger describes his early days beautifully whilst in the mountains with Bear Grills which I saw on SBS Sat night.

He specifically set about changing that on court personna which took him 2 years & his career then took off.
Super show depicting him as a 'normal' being with expected fears & a great rapport between the pair btw.

Wisdom has been chasing me but I've always outrun it!

One thing I will say, in defence to anyone behaving like an angry toddler on a tennis court, is that tennis is an unbelievably frustrating sport.

There is something about it, that makes tempers rise.

perhaps more, than any other sport in the world.

one could even easily conclude, scientifically, that something about tennis, can make people very angry on the court.

For those of you unaware, but the modern era calm Roger Federer, had an extremely bad temper as a teenager on court, as he pushed himself to an echelon of perfection and greatness.

Golf is far more frustrating and aggravating than tennis- you can hit a perfect shot and get a terrible result- and they don't act like brats.

So thats actually contradictory to your own statement.

Tennis produces far more spats and tantrums than golf.

Why that is? We dont know.

Apart from John Daly, who went through alcoholism, golfers maintain their calm.

There is simply something about the tennis court, the movement to the ball, the game itself, that produces tantrums.

Certainly more than squash, table tennis, golf etc etc.

I found it curious how Japanese Osaka is in her demeanor- the Japanese have manners- although she's lived in America since she was 3. They haven't turned her into a loudmouth brat yet. Must be her mother's influence.

And what and who do you put Kyrgios behavior down to?

If he was Iraqi or Iranian and not Greek, would it effect your view of his behavior in relation to ethnicity?

It's all Mental Health . The Human Race is breeding itself into oblivion. No consideration to that side of life , unless your a Thoroughbred or a Poodle .
Throw a Clydesdale over Winx and you'll get Tomic.
Throw a Donkey over and Nick Kyrgios for sure.

Too Thin for sure oneone.

The one I have is a beauty. Balls OUT , was a good call .
She brings it all on herself , Terrible Sportsmanship and took everything away from the winner.

Built like a Tank & will be remembered more for her tantrums than her record.
