Humpty Doo, Northern Territory Superthread

[Axver]

Hey, I'm getting a free fireworks show here! Nice.

I just had to spend a minute to work out why ... keep forgetting it's Invasion Day.

 

[Slopsy]

I think I shall turn in for the night!

See y'all!

 

[Alisaura]

just another way to suck MORE money out of the swiftness but in this case am more than happy to compy *tearingouteardrumsinreadinessforhideousconcertnous*

Just make sure you can put them back in again!


I'd better go to bed or something sensible like that... back to work tomorrow.

 

[coolian2]

a couple of nice breaks and i win the second set 6-1.

See y'all!

sleep: for the weak. night!

I just had to spend a minute to work out why ... keep forgetting it's Invasion Day.

I had completely forgotten that as a possible reason... I'm used to people around here letting off fire crackers for no readily discernable reason. Yay Springvale?

 

[Alisaura]

Seeya Charlotte!

 

[Axver]

Have a good one, Charlotte!

I'd have thought fire crackers would be the least of your worries in Springvale when things start going off ...

I don't know how you did that! G'night!

And g'night to Alison if she's bailing too ...!

I choose to assume all those noises are fire crackers.


I'm piking too... seeya folks

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

did you skip the part where i said partly?

yes.

no.

idk.

 

[Axver]

I am increasingly starting to suspect the only way to beat Jimmy Connors is to play like you are deranged.

 

[coolian2]

yes.

no.

idk.

i love it when you're decisive.

 

[coolian2]

gah. took the third set 6-4. made it hard for myself, i did lead 5-1!

 

[Cin]

So a new location?

Watched a few South Parks, drank a fair bit, partook some "vigorous activity", almost passed out. . .now am being nursemaid to a boy with a sore stomach.

may have to go look after sickie.

 

[coolian2]

somebody can't hold his drink too well.

 

[Axver]

Haha, poor Cin. He's a lightweight eh?

Also, finally won a fucking set against Jimmy Connors.

 

[coolian2]

4-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-4. cop that, edberg.

 

[coolian2]

oh, becker is just like playing the hot shot. i can usually knock him off in straight sets.

 

[Axver]

Huh, really? His serve slaughtered me until I began playing like I was deranged.

Connors is pushing me. 6-4 3-6 7-5 in my favour right now ... that third set, I was 1-4 down at one point.

i just broke his serve first time i had to face it. it might have been pure luck, but it does just feel like playing the hot shot.

I've only played the Hot Shot once ... I simply suck against the fast serve on grass.

 

[coolian2]

it's great preparation. i've just taken the first set 6-3. only one break, but it was enough.

 

[Axver]

Just blew it against Connors. 4-6 6-3 5-7 6-0 6-4.

I can't explain what happened in the fourth set. Everything that could go wrong, did.

 

[coolian2]

6-3, 6-4, 6-4 over becker.

 

[Axver]

Well done. Wish I could play that well on grass!

Good luck against McEnroe. He's fast, but if your skills are consistently on, you should get past him.

 

[coolian2]

thanks. i think i'll take a proper crack at mcenroe later.

I went to see some of the celebrating in the city today... quite surprised, I don't think I saw a single southern cross tattoo, no racist beatings (probably because Anglo-Saxons were outnumbered) and little drunken activity. I guess most of the bogans were at home listening to the Hottest 100 and wondered why every song wasn't skip-hop.
