It’s time to look back on the week that was, and at the individuals who inspired us with their heroism, confronted us with their shockingness, and made us want to punch them in the face by being a sissy-lala.
Hero of the week: Nick Kyrgios.
We don’t even care that he was knocked out the next day. The moment 19-year-old Nick Kyrgios from Canberra beat out world number one Rafael Nadal united a nation.
And for that, and this particular shot in the match, we salute you.
Shocker of the week: Tony Abbott.
This week’s shocker just had to be our PM, who was quoted as saying:
“I guess our country owes its existence to a form of foreign investment by the British government in the then unsettled or, um, scarcely settled, Great South Land.”
on Friday.
Let’s all take a look at that scarcely settled land:
Mmm… yep.
Whinger of the week: The waitress who complained about getting a crappy tip on Facebook, only to remember that she is Facebook friends with the people who gave it to her.
An Ohio waitress has lost her job after posting a Facebook status complaining about a stingy tip, only to realise that she was Facebook friends with the person who gave her the tip. The tip-er then printed out the message written by the ungrateful tip-ee, and took it to her manager.
Moral of the story: Facebook friends should be real-life friends.

You have to be super careful these days...
I still remember standing in a shop complaining to my mum about my tennant paying me by cheque when I really needed cash. Turned out the tennant's brother was standing next to me. I had a very cranky tennant on the phone to me the next day.
Ooops!
That was before Facebook turned six degrees of seperation into one degree.
Be careful what you post on Face Book, it's a wonder so many people still have a job from what I have seen. So many people complaining about their work and boss.
In fact so many people just complaining about others and everything in general.
Yep, I follow the old advice, if I'm not happy for it to be on the front page of a major newspaper then don't post it. Goes for pictures, status updates, the lot.
