The Aussie Open's on! 
My own personal summer tradition - watch as much tennis as possible while doing not a lot else. You won't be seeing much of me for the next two weeks!
hurrah 
oooh, the tennis!

ER, you are *such* an old man!
s'not boring Elly, it's great! Martina Navratilova (or however she spells it 
) was playing doubles last night - she's 46!!! That's even older than ER! 
oooh, the tennis!

Yes, she is older than me.
oooh, the tennis!

The "old man" is right, Cafram ... watching tennis is about as boring as watching pidgeon droppings accumulate on a fully-clothed statue.
oooh, the tennis!

Could be worse... she could have a thing about watching golf.
You don't have a thing about watching golf, do you?
oooh, the tennis!

Actually, I can't say anything. I used to sit and watch the "America's Cup" races for days and days ... no, make that nights and nights after the thing was *stolen* from us. 
oooh, the tennis!

Ah, the Americas Cup. We had a huge party here after we beat the cheats at their own game!
oooh, the tennis!

I can't handle watching any sport but the tennis...I thinnk the main attraction is that it's so hot and I can't be bothered doing anything else!
oooh, the tennis!

"The" tennis? We just call it tennis ... no "the". You sure talk funny, Cafram. But I know you can't help it, being from such an odd country and all.
The Aussies should have been disqualified during the America's Cup race and you know it, ER. We *never* cheated. We just made up all the rules (as we went).
oooh, the tennis!

Disqualified? For what? For designing and building a faster yacht, which just happened to fall within *all* the rules set down for the race?
BTW, whatever happened to Dennis Connor (loser)?
oooh, the tennis!

I know, I know. You won fair and square. If anyone had to take it from us, I'm glad is was you lot. 
Hmmmmm ... if memory serves me right ... I think the rules stated that the Captain who lost the cup would have his severed head displayed in the case where the America's Cup trophy had been. Dennis Connor may be retired to there by now.
