London pub---3rd round

i hate London, no matter how others love it, it is such a depressing city, the sky is never blue and so foggie rainy, i certainly understand how marat feel with the stupid rain in NY.... i hate London as much as Safin hates to play on grass.......London as no real season,i was born in St petersburg, i experience real winter, i went to siberia, that;s called winter, i grew up in Australia, melbourne has 4 seasons per day, Aussie is truely a sunshine state, just beautiful sunshine.............could image why marat can get titles in Aussie open and US open rather than London, weather mate..
i was so busy to go to labs to make sure all my clinical trials are under control, everything works well..........
finally tennis time, i decided to go to pub and watch it, i rang my cousin William who lives in London so he can show me the best pub to watch tennis.............Williams had to go to work, i was pretty much terified to stay in the pub on my won, especially in London...as part of my clinical trial, i was off London 5 times within 3 monthes, can u believe it? last time i really expolered London properly was with my bf in 1997, all these 5 times i was rushing everywhere in London trying to get work done and go back Melbourne, i dont really want to stay in this depressing city, believe me!!!!!!!!!
''u no RUssian?'' i heard an older voice in a crappy english.....i wasnt sure if he means ''do i know russian'' or '' iam not russian''--- i can almost bet $5 on ya that most ppl will get my cultural background WRONG!i heard ppl speak to me in totally different languages as if i understand everything, just because my parents came from different countries and they both mixed with 4-5 things.... i didnt understand what that guy was saying,i quickly switched myself into Russian language that i was telling him i am sort of RUssian and i do speak perfect Russian and i said again in English, funny thing is he noticed i am a tourist, even i can switch my typical Aussie accent to typical American accent within 2 seconds,i really got no idea how British accent works, i cant really understand some of them anyway....The guy is in his 30'''from Beleruss, named Sergiy---of course he speaks Russian... u cheer for safin? he asked in russian... of course, what do u think?that's why i am here....he invited me to join his group of friends...all of them are Russian speakers from places in former USSR......even one gal called Olga came from St petersburg, certainly i felt very warm, i didnt know there are small Russian community in London, very excited, at least i am not the only person cheer for Marat.......Marat is playing Oliver Rochus, of Belgium.... i was seriously woried, marat was beaten by oliver twice this yr, as bad record as to that chilean guy........ goodness....fingurs crossed......
we orderd large amount of vodka---i dont think russian would drink sth else to be honest!!!!!!!!!!!!
Marat is finally on TV ............... i just scretely hope he is not as tough as Nalbandian, who loves drawing match, 5 sets,our boy pkays 3 days in a role, let him have a easy match i hope........... one guy in our group is Tuva Russian, he acturally did a Shamanic ceremony for marat that hope God bless him win the match....how kind!!!!!!!!!!!
3 is a magic number for Russians, the 3rd time marat and oliver playing together this yr... he lost 1st 2 matches, today is the 3rd one, marat takes over the 'revenge' and wins over oliver 6-3,6-2,6-3 three sets straight!!!!!!!!!!! what an amazing............... easy match! my prayer was listened once again,this time with magic vodka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i dont know how much Vodka i drunk, Sergiy is kindly offer to pay the bill---how nice Russian man can be.!!!!!!!!!!
wwoooooooooooooooooooooo Marat is acturally get into 4th round! how sweet!
p/s/ I am pretty sad that Dmitriy Tursunov is out!
3 RUssian men left, Misha, Nikolai and Marat!sillllkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk, the best part in london would be this pub.......
