Why go out for hamburger when I have steak at home? :cool:

I guess that's your way of saying you've never been abroad?

an appropriate location

If you bothered to read my others posts, in other threads, you'd know I've been abroad.

She's middle class. That's all that needs to be said on the matter.

well i usually don't bother.
i didn't even read that one, i just saw uk uk uk uk all over the place.

It's true that tennis in the uk is an overwhelmingly middle class sport. However I don't believe that a working class player would be prevented from joining any decent tennis club here just because of their class. Britain's working classes don't play tennis largely because they've managed to convince themselves that it isn't for them.

it's the same everywhere.

it could be that coaching, the clubs and all that crap cost a lot.

it could be that its a boring sport.

i dont know.

other sports are easier to play without the appropriate location and equipment etc.

It probably does cost a lot but I do think its a cultural issue more than a financial one. Besides, working class people will spend outrageous amounts of money on all manner of bollocks. It's just that when it comes to a sport like tennis they've managed to convince themselves that it simply isn't for them - rather like going to the theatre, or eating asparagus.

well, do you really wanna play tennis, go to the theatre and eat aspargus?

i might take the aspargus once in a while, but thats it.

no, because I'm working class. I'd rather save my money and get a new plasma screen tv and a state of the art mobile.

I like tennis. I suck at it, but it is awesome cardio. We have tennis courts in nearly every public park or apartment complexes. So you really don't have to join up with a club or anything. You just need someone on the otherside of the net. Asparagus however is nasty.

makes yr pee smell different - just a few spears!

eat as much asparagus as you can

then hold your pee until you really really really got to go. 2 hours after eating the ASSparagus is best\

Then go take a piss, and marvel at the INSANE putresecence of youyr urine stream and the ridiculous aroma of rotten asparagus.

for you, perhaps. yr not left trying to figure out if that hot pally is really a guy or not (note: she is).

with tennis, it's sometimes easier to tell. sometimes. hello, Penis Williams, I'm looking at you.

It isn't, at all. I used to play at county level (girls and booze put paid to that) and it's only true that tennis is a middle-class sport in middle-class areas. I'm not from a middle-class area so joining a tennis club wasn't a problem, or exorbitantly expensive. The better clubs are more expensive, but there's always been grants and so on available to those from poorer backgrounds.

Having said that, you're in London, where tennis clubs are largely the domain of the middle-class (and often the toffier side of that). But that's far from the case across the country.

What is true is that there's a perception that tennis is middle-class, but that's like the perception of classical music, which is overwhelmingly cheaper than the more 'prole-friendly' rock concert.

I think the reason we're shit at tennis is because there isn't really the room in the curriculum to support it as one of our national sports. The US funds plenty of academies to pick up and support people from poorer backgrounds. The finances of this don't really concern me, but it does mean that as a sporting culture they do better than us in a great many sports. I used to know some semi-professional gymnasts, and they've all kicked it on the head because it's just impossible to finance in this country. There's a total of about £3.50 to support gymnasts in this country, and it's just not tenable for the majority of people. This is pretty much true of tennis as well, but there's a world of (financial) difference between the average person joining a tennis club and the average person getting support to become professional.

Interestingly, of the three, I'd say that the person eating asparagus was the middle-class one.

Asparagus ain't good.
I pity those who have to eat them due to their social status.

it happens with rice crispies too, doesn't bother me.

there's nothing wrong with eating aspargus to pretend you're rich once in a while.

i don't know, i'm not very much into girls..

i can say i'm average and, most important, in proportion. i knew a tiny girl with giant tits and believe me, it was not a pretty sight.

you can't tell Rob things like that, ploesj, don't you know that?

shush, he's far away.

thats me.

she was also shaped like a triangle, with broad shoulders and small hips. i guess that made her seem more out of proportion.

i don't dislike tennis because of class related issues.. I find it contains the same amount of silly, whoever plays it. Sports are not so much my thing.

Well, competitive sports. I kind of enjoy fitness that requires skill and or mastery of the body. Say, circus type things, skate and snow board, yoga, whatever.. That is more interesting to me than anything competitive team related.

How did you celebrate Australia Day?

go to an archer's club.

ha ha, hm.... not really.

why not own the ridicule instead, and wear the badge proudly? just like those silly headbands that tennis players wear, accept the ridicule that comes with sitting at a computer playing fantasy games. accept it, own it, flaunt it.

i was in a tennis summer class when i was 12 or so, didn't like it much, but saw the potential for entertainment. growing up, i regretted not having pursued this more---female tennis players tend to have wonderful thighs and their little skirts are a delight to watch.

but i digress-- i forget what i was going to post.

oh yeah. people who do some sort of physical activities (eg tennis players)



tend to be a better lay than this:



then again, the conversational skills may be lacking...

Kava, girl. Painkillers scare me. Even random people I don't know in real life taking them.

that south park guy is totally me.

I even lean back casually while I kill other players.

I own that shit. fuck the sword of 1000 truths.

also: #%#<*}^ has never played wow and has no idea what the hell he's talking about. like most others, blind videogame prejudice has led him to believe that only squids play.

no, no-- i know for example this cutie is a famous player



i do however know i'd break her in bed due to her fragile physique.

plus, i enjoy baiting people on the interwebs-- sure, taking potshots at WoW players is tantamount of intellectual laziness, but damn, i can't spend forever cooking up more elaborate schemes here. i'd be charles webster baer of... somewhere.

pretty modest there. I'd give you better than average on personality alone. Toss in the looks and we have comfortably above average

The crafts store. You may think that girls into crafts...well..are home bodies, but this is not the case. Some nice looking ladies I've seen shopping there . Some have even smiled and said hello. Get interested in arts and crafts !

I have no idea who that girl is but she isn't nearly as hot as my female wow accquaintances! I do however know that I would break her wow character due to the fact that few players are as good as I am.

plus, I enjoy baiting you by saying that you have no idea what the hell yr talking about.

I know that yr right and that normal people would have much better luck meeting a quality person on the tennis court. I'm just not so much into normal people.

:p

craft stores smell like periods.

A better lay than this? You must be gay.

Erm, I was actually looking for a regular pic of Daniela Hantuchova but this one just instantly got my attention:

I didnt?


worked and played videogames... read a book...

tennis is not complex enough to really hold my interest, and probably the interest of the type of people I would find date worthy.

That doesn't mean I want to date EVERYONE who plays videogames. The percentage of plebs playing each is probably just as high. I dont know...
