FTA-TV First Dates - Part 7

[Shell]

Lol looks like the Brisbane International final was a big fat fizzer. Two unseeded players and was a walkover at 4-1 in the first.

 

[Shell]

$449 to see a 4-1 walkover

(And I guess the 3 set women's match prior).


Still would be pissed as all hell at that

 

[Shell]

Not incl ground passes, tickets to the tennis in general are just ridiculous tho. I've heard by Friday in week one it's a few hundred to go CC.

Nah, they've had a few voice actors die/retire and they make adjustments.

yeah but nobody important. i mean no-one was watching the show solely for edna krabappel

 

[Shell]

Krabappel?!?!?!!! I thought her name was Krandall!

 

[Voula]

The bat from the Shinning goes alright too.

I'd post the actual gif but the internet down by the beach is a big fat pile of campaigners

So you're having problems with the internet too? When I was at our holiday house, the internet was fine until Boxing Day when all the caravans and holiday people came. It took like 5 minutes for the thread in Big Footy to load. I'm going back there on Tuesday so not looking forward to slow internet again!

Yep the prices are ridiculous now. Not only have prices increased but they have reduced the matches on the main courts from 3 down to 2. I've been going to the Aus Open since 1991, (only missed 2021 during COVID). It's not the same anymore. It used to be about the tennis but now it's all about the entertainment and the "experience".

I'm kicking myself now for not attending around those COVID years. Going with heavily restricted numbers would have been awesome.

But yeah I hear you re. the tournament, that sucks.

 

[Shell]

Just had a quick look at Qualifying today.. let's face it- were only here for the sideshow that is Tomic. He's not on til Wednesday

I do hope Kimmy gets thru tho. She did so well at Brisbane

Yep. Funnily enough never remember having a problem like this on 3G when I had the USB and laptop down here.

Morning all

 

[Shell]

Weather is complete shit. Might just be indoors all day, and watch the Golden Globes. Wish Gervais was still hosting.

 

[Shell]

And Adelaide International starts today

 

[HomerThompson]

Back to work today. Love that can have quiet work when it's crazy busy around town and take time off when the kids/crowds are gone.

 

[Shell]

Yeah crowds and kids can gagfd

 

[Shell]

Swarovski aren't diamonds you ****ing moron

 

[Shell]

*watching the Globes

 

[Shell]

I will have absolutely no idea what any of the shows or movies are. Remember the good old days when movies were shown at the actual movies and I/we had actually seen them

 

[Shell]

Jfc Keira Knightley looks exactly the same as her Bend it like Beckham days

 

[HomerThompson]

*watching the Globes

The awards, or the red carpet outfits?

 

[Shell]

Same goes with Angelina. She is literally aging backwards

 

[Shell]

Like her ex in that stupid movie

 

[Shell]

God that was ****ing rubbish, utter crap Benjamin Button fmd

 

[Shell]

Nicole. She looks pretty good as always

 

[Shell]

Steve Martin looks the same too. Helps when you've had grey hair like forever
