<{><[>hungry but i thought i <.>should yeah <[>for dessert did you get drink an orange drink voc no i bought my own coffee he <{><[>was just out on he was out on the court from honestly i saw him for about two minutes and he was on the court from six oclock to eight thirty <[>mm you're kidding so i spent precisely about five minutes with him laughs oh that was good oh it was okay i had a chat to todd featherston you know the newsreader yeah he was there when i first arrived so i got introduced and then they all took off to go downstairs and play and todd came back and said to me oh are you a tennis player and i <{><[>said no laughs no i'm not <[>laughs but could <{><[>you wear looser shorts please when you play cos yours are a BIT tight <[>laughs and um <{><[>so he started talking to me and so i just said oh can i sit down here a seat right next to him so i sat down right next to him and we had a long chat and he offered to buy me a coffee <.>and laughs <[>or did you miss that bit out and you refused? and i refused i wasn't <.>th thirsty or anything then i <.>didn't i didn't see why he should buy me a coffee so <.>just he's richer laughs <&>17:00 he's earns money not like students um yeah <{><[>word rich <[>it just took me by surprise actually i just didn't really <.>think i said oh no i'm fine thanks yeah no <.>y i often do that like at the pub when guys say do you want a drink and i think NO NO laughs laughs when you think YES laughs laughs well i would like a drink but i don't want you to think what you're thinking <{><[>laughs <[>laughs a drink doesn't mean i'm yours laughs so that <.>was that was quite cool and we <{><[>had quite a good chat lots of comparisons with tennis and horse riding <[>yeah oh mhm did you say you RODE yes well i hate it cos i mean all they know down there is tennis so i have to say i do something to explain why i'm not a tennis player and <{1><[1>to make it sound like i do actually have some kind of sport <{2><[2>up my sleeve you know no i'm just some FAN laughs <[1>word <[2>laughs yeah i'm a big FAN no cos i mean <{><[>yeah no i don't even know what the score is <&>18:00 <[>voc laughs laughs so i learnt actually quite a lot about tennis today cos he was pointing things out and he was talking about matthew's game and stuff oh it was quite interesting apparently his serve's really horrible to receive mhm <,> because it BENDS <{><[>so you don't know actually until it actually hits the ground whether it's going to hit you on <.>your you're going to have to hit a forehand or a backhand <[>mm oh yuk and so when it's done at speed he said it's just blur <{><[>laughs FREAKY um <[>voc can someone else receive <{><[>please <[>voc yeah and he was talking about the way he serves and stuff too and yeah it <.>was actually it was quite interesting cos i mean we've probably seen him play c graders before actually haven't we <.>but no i mean we've seen him play someone bad yeah well these c graders it was just it was quite interesting cos they could hit some of it quite reasonably well like in their warm up they looked fine but then in the game they would voc have a rally and it would look then there <{><[>went <[>pitiful <.>th no the c graders would just hit a wild shot suddenly and you'd think oh why did they do THAT you know did they they just lost they just lose control of it <,> that was the game they <&>19:00 lost but it was it was quite interesting and yeah the way they served wasn't nearly so good you could just see the difference the c graders mm yeah <.>a if when i go to work i'm going to try and join <,,> tennis league tennis league <{><[>yeah <[>that's one good thing about paul's they've got a good social club yeah <,> it's really horrible cos i was talking todd about that we <{><[>had a big talk about you know graduates and the unemployment rate among graduates and stuff <[>yeah oh yes so that's all oh clinton's got the same comm law tutor as me laughs he's <{><[>really annoyed <,> and he laughs <[>oh so is he going to change too yeah i think so he went up at the end of the tute and said what's this got to do with the actual tutorial problem <{><[>and voc <.>craig voc <[>oh how to make friends with your tutor i know it was <.>total <{><[>totally irrelevant well it was totally unrelated it wasn't irrelevant it was just <,> you just sort of thought well why give us a tute question if you're not even going to do it and um he just got told to shut up and <[>coughs <&>20:00 oh <,> i find that unbelievable that oh i don't know WHY CAN'T they <.>m ensure that the tutors can teach oh they're supposed to go to some course thing aren't <{1><[1>they cos that's something about anna cos you know she's tutoring marketing um she's been to some seminar on how <{2><[2>you're supposed to teach <[1>mm <[2>oh has she but the seminar doesn't even <{1><[1>KNOW if you can teach <{2><[2>or <.>not <[1>yeah <[2>clears throat yeah but tut i mean she's actually going to all the lectures for the subject because she says she's forgotten some of it yeah and it's also a different lecturer and he has heaps <{><[>more emphasis on models which she doesn't know so well but i thought i mean actually she sounds like a good tutor because <[><&>sighs yeah she's least really making an effort <,> she's taking it seriously whereas some of them i'm just sure they wouldn't no cos like me and my commercial law tutor was brillant she's absolutely excellent for two oh three <{1><[1>and the other one i went to scott's one like she wasn't as good but she still really good compared to most tutors you <{2><[2>get <[1>mm <[2>yeah <,> well i'm not gonna stay with this guy <&>21:00 no <.>i i just hope my accy one's okay <{1><[1>laughs go back and see that guy laughs <{2><[2>laughs <[1>yeah <[2>he's really good though he's really funny i want to know who he is i was trying to ask clinton but clinton doesn't know <,> i should have said what's your name laughs what was it it was on the door was it justin i thought it was was he <{><[><.>the <[>oh that no there're two guys eh and they <{><[>work different hours yeah <[>justin or hamish was he voc cos justin apparently does two two three he <{1><[1>actually <.>n no he does it <{2><[2>he's doing it he's sitting it <[1>tutors <[2>laughs OH sitting it does it he does it <{1><[1>he does it does what to it <{2><[2>like you say he's sitting it <[1>laughs <[2>laughs he participates in the course oh well that's interesting two two three's <{><[>okay actually eh <[>mm mm vaguely i mean you can see that if you learn it you could do it type thing word i don't find it as impossible as two two two two two two i sit there and go oh oh i just don't know how to tackle it <&>21:59
