You know, i was a regular on the friday afternoon drill squad. um, which... the year after i left school, i went back and thanked the sergeant major because i was so fit.
I was a pretty feisty young kid.
By the time i got to the hospital, i certainly realised that i had a problem because i couldn't write or print at that time, which lasted luckily only about four months. i'd gone numb here and on my tongue and the right foot a little bit.

You know, i eat, i ate pretty well anyway so, i'm basically living the same, i just curtailed the stupidity.
I'd also made the first tennis team. i was number two player in the school at 11 years of age and that didn't sit very well with people.

A few of us who are around the sixty mark don't play that much these days and if you are taking on a couple of guys in their forties it is very difficult.
I had started my love affair with wimbledon.
There was kind of a code that you had as an australian that you never left the court losing unless you had blood all over you. that's the sort of toughness you need to compete on the world stage and i feel that our kids today just don't have it.
It's actually what i consider legalised cheating because one of the great senses that you have on a tennis court is your ability to hear the ball come off your opponent's strings [on sharapova grunting
