Warped Aussies


Something is badly wrong when a community forces organisations to sweat bricks to protect details like addresses and phone numbers on account of privacy considerations when a school teacher is permitted to engage in production of pornographic material with impunity.

The schoolteacher in Oberon High School in Geelong ought to be stood down with a view of eventual outright dismissal. How he is not just permitted to remain but also considered to be “well regarded” after what’s happened, shows how warped this community has become.  I’m almost ashamed.

The game was way past the 3 hour mark when I said to Kiddo I needed to go to bed. Djokovic was 2-1 up and looking good in the fourth and it was about 11.30pm. When I was up at about 5.45am this morning I grabbed the iPad to check out the results…

What do you know – it was a thriller in the Rod Laver Arena, a super-human marathon in Melbourne! The nearly 6 hour 5-set match was almost 9 times as long as a Wimbledon final in 1936 (apparently – thanks to Wikipedia) when Fred Perry won it in 3, in 40 minutes! Djokovic has beaten Nadal so many times now, and has held the Australian Open title 2 years running. What a player he has turned out to be. I remember noticing him when he was making fun of Sharapova, mimicking her actions – hence the “Joker” moniker I guess.

For many people today is back to work day. What a way to finish off the summer holidays for these folks, being treated to a grand tennis match. Thank you Novak and Rafael…
