As you all know, I love sports and I love barracking for Australia.In tennis we are sorely lacking any quality Australian players. 

Can we just bring back Pat already!

Pat Rafter that is, not Cash.

I have therefore been forced to look outside of our shores for someone to cheer for. I did not have to look very hard. 

For years I  have been a fan of Federer, for both his performance on the court and for his demeanor off it and this afternoon I was not disappointed.

There are no words to describe the five-setter that I just watched.

I'll give it a red-hot go though - unbelievable, awesome, nail-biting, ferocious - just to name a few. 

We always expect Federer to breeze through in straight sets, however today something was off in the beginning and he went down two sets to love. We were left wondering what the?

He hung in there in the third set and halfway through, the tide turned. Whether it was Berdych's hamstring (which he received treatment for) or whether it was just the fact that he choked! You may think that I am being harsh - but even he mimicked 'choking' on the court.

In a thrilling five-setter Federer fought back tooth and nail to cinch it. He has only come back from two sets down to love, three times in the past and may I say - thank god for the fourth.

He showed that in grand slam tennis, you cannot give up and you cannot give in to fear of your opponent, as Berdych did. Although ranked 20th, Berdych has only ever been as high as number 9, and if he continues to play as he did today, he will most certainly not get any higher. 

Federer's performance today was inspiring, although I certainly hope that he doesn't take us to five sets for the rest of the tournament. 

Whaddya say - would Federer be an honorary Australian, this Australia Day long weekend. 

I vote YES!!

A little while ago a new ad came out that we all loved and some of us even blogged about it.

A new cadbury ad has come out in the UK and I love it!

Although I am not sure that it will get the same air time in Australia - I can see it becoming really annoying really soon. 

But C'mon it is piss-funny don't you think?

Going to dinner, drinks and lawn bowls tonight for a birthday bash.

HAPPEE B DAY - you know who you are!

I have never even set foot on a lawn bowls field before, so it should be very interesting.

I hope I dont embarrass myself too much and will no doubt have a grand time even if I do!

Is there any hope at all?

Maybe of coming home with the wooden spoon!

I shall regale you with stories and pictures tomorrow.

Wish me luck!

So originally I thought that there were stoopid people everywhere in the world.

This is not the case, since working in the events industry I have realised that all the stoopid people are now attending conferences.

It seems as though as soon as someone decides to attend a conference, the dormant 'stoopid' gene kicks in!

I often say it is as if they take stoopid pills as soon as they register for a conference.

It is not that diffucult people - all you need is basic common sense and the ability to tick yes or no.

There are vitamin supplements for everything that ails you - well what about a pill for common sense.

I should patent that - I could become an overnight millionaire!
