Month: June 2015

So, the French Open has just finished, you know tennis is the only sport I actually enjoy yeah?  So here’s the thing, clay just doesn’t float my boat, not really sure why, hard court and grass, yes?  I wonder if it is something to do with Nadal winning everything on clay for a while and subconsciously his butt picking ways put me off.  I don’t think I have ever liked it?  I do however one day want to go to Roland Garros and check it out, I think I need to go there and buy one of those poxy hats they all seem to wear.  You’ll be able to pick me out in the crowd, I’ll be the tourist wearing sunnies and no name brand clothing, why don’t Europeans wear sunnies?  I hope the joint doesn’t collapse before I get there, looks like a bit of a dump, you’d think someone would give the walls a once over with a pressure cleaner before the event?

I do however have to commend whoever allowed the ball kids to wear Adidas this year though.  FRICKIN AWESOME outfit for the ball girls.  I would wear this as everyday wear, LOVE it!  Would have to say the best I have ever seen.

Triple striper knee highs and that pleated skirt are awesome.  The shoes, did you see the shoes?

This is almost enough of a marketing victory to get me back into the sport, or at least to buy the entire outfit and leave in a cupboard never to be worn?

I don’t really enjoy the women’s finals as a rule.  Yes, I am a fan of Serena Williams, but she usually wins in straight sets and it’s all over in a very short amount of time.  However, she had to work her neon covered arse off this time, it was great to see.  She lost the plot there for a while and got very cross with herself, but she got the job done, eventually.  Her unforced error stats were up there with mine, if you don’t know what an unforced error is, just a fancy term for a fuckup!  I also loved her fashion choice, this can’t always be said for this feisty lass.  Fluro leopard print, yes please!  I am not sure who the Village of The Damned wannabe in her box was either, must google later.  Interesting to note in her press conference, Serena wore a nice blue crocheted top?  True!  BTW, she played Lucie Safarova, yeah, only thing interesting about her is she is a leftie.

The Frenchies have disabled the embedding feature of youtube, so you’re gonna have to click to open  :/ Women’s Final highlights with Village of The Damned dude evidence

Men’s final, well, what can I say, I had to go for Novak Djokovic even with his weird hair as he was playing Stan Wawrinka, bloody Stan who beat my Rog, AGAIN!  Bloody Stan with the dodgy shorts.  I had to go for Novak, he is my sister’s choice, if I can’t go for my choice I usually go for hers, also the fact that he beat Nadal AND Murray to get to the final, AND believe it or not he has never won the French Open.  I blame the shorts, put Novak off his game, bloody Stan!

Hello!  I’m here, I’m here!  I am alive and well, but BUSY!  It seems that being an unemployed bum is incredibly hard work and I’ve never been so friggen busy!  It is amusing however, it takes a situation about men opening their legs to get me to write.

So, it, has a name, it, being something that really pisses me off!  I’ve seen, it, for a while, I’ve chatted to BFF’s about it, and I’ve even had several Facebook posts about it.

MANSPREADING

I didn’t realise it had a name until the other day, I didn’t know it was so prevalent.  Recently two gents were arrested for it.  It was on the ABC, it must be true, please God, make this true!  There should be more of it!

The situation has become so dire that they now have posters about it in New York.  Those New Yorkers have stepped up a peg in my mind.

I know you don’t have balls the size of coconuts, and if indeed you do and you’re catching public transport on the way to your surgeon, well, please forgive me, but, I’m pretty sure you don’t.  It doesn’t really worry me too much if there is plenty of space, and if you want to be an arrogant seat hogging arsehole, well, I’m kinda OK with it, I don’t want some peeps sitting next to me either.  However, when we all need to fit in the same space, move ya fucking legs!  Why should I have to have you press up against me?  Why should I have to feel uncomfortable?  Why should I have to ask the obvious?

I live in the country so I don’t catch public transport much, however I do travel a lot and I have seen it in every state of Australia, I haven’t focused in on it overseas as my thoughts are more consumed with figuring out where the hell I am and where I need to get off and am I heading in the right direction.  It has only happened to me once where I have had to have a word with a manspreading gent.  When we travel to our capital city from my home city, we have to travel in a smaller airplane which requires an aerobus from the airport apron to the terminal and return.  We need to fit an entire plane load of peeps on that bus, so if there are two seats, they need two people using them.  I went to go and sit on a seat and there he was, a seat hogging manspreading arsehole!  I immediately wanted to sit elsewhere, but my brain switched to “how dare he” mode, he’s not intimidating me, I’m not too sure of my words, but something along the soft lines of “hey, can you shuffle over?”  He did,,,,not enough mind you, I think half of my arse cheek was hanging off the edge, bearing in mind I’m an average sized female.  I know I asked politely, not sure why I had to as it was glaringly obvious, I wanted to say “close ya fucking legs arsehole”.  I do believe a bit of RedundantK elbow action may have come into play, I have a knack of using my elbow to provide myself with well-deserved personal space, I don’t jab it, I just place it  😀  It has been very useful over the years at music events, I can’t stand a “Johnny come lately” trying to stand in front of me to see a favourite band, if you wanted to be in front, get there earlier than me, I won’t have a problem, I’d be happy to stand behind you!

Anyway, back to the leg spreading chumps!  I guess some women don’t notice, or are intimidated and don’t say anything and I am fully aware not ALL men do this.  I also think that most of the culprits don’t even know they are doing it, most guys don’t have a clue about others personal space or surroundings, fact, by the way.  I’m sure, having balls the size of footballs would give you an excuse to sit like this, or if indeed you are catching public transport to your chiropractor to have your displaced hip sorted.  But,,,,DUDE,,,, STOP THE SPREAD!
