I wouldn’t normally watch the Aussie Open final. Why would I? When I could be playing tennis. But I’m not allowed and due to the ridiculous time difference the Aussies insist on maintaining, I’m watching Djokovic play Dominic Thiem. So famous that I just had to google his first name. But he’s brilliant. Outstanding. Incredible. Currently 2 sets to 1 up. Anything can happen. And maybe Thiem won’t win. But the ‘old guard’ is changing. We’ve had a decade of watching possibly the 3 greatest ever players of all time win virtually everything. Ok, Andy Murray won a couple but Federer, Nadal and Djokovic have defined an era. Murray could only define a Scotsman. Even if Novak wins today, I kind’a feel I’m looking at the future in his opponent. An Austrian! A fucking Austrian!!! Who’d’a guessed that?

I don’t think Prince Andrew plays tennis. I hope not. It would effect my love of the game. But he is currently embroiled in ‘the gift that keeps giving’. Which is his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Who bestowed gifts and holidays and, allegedly, ‘young women’ upon Andrew whilst alive, and his legacy continues well past his untimely death.

And there’s such a massive demand from ‘the victims’ for our least favourite Prince to go to America and testify that he may have to do so. He’ll deny. Whether true or not, he’ll deny. He was in Pizza Hut at the time. Even though there isn’t one there. His memory only remembers pepperoni and mushroom, possibly ham and pineapple, which most people find nauseating, but he probably wouldn’t, yet it simply doesn’t stretch to sex with underage girls. Or being with women anywhere, anytime? Was I? With her? Really?? Oh, you have photos, well they’re probably wrong. I have no recollection. Possibly living with Fergie would give you a disposition of trying to forget women, I get that. But you don’t forget them all.

I recently had a conversation in which a very old person was appalled that they’re bothering with this, ‘that woman is married now! Has children!!’ ‘It was so long ago, who cares?!!’ And I thought: I fucking care. Because child abuse is the worst of crimes. For the sick and perverted pleasures of vile individuals, kids are scarred for their entire lives. Forever. And even if it was 100 years ago, they should pursue it.

Anyway, I’m going to Spurs. After the tennis, obvs.

Happy Sunday
