<Daniel_Nestor> squirt: He's a moron and a putz
<BFett> Daniel: what do you think of tennis canada?

<Queequeg> daniel: where is your favourite place in Canada?
<Daniel_Nestor> Queequeg: I like Vancouver, but I grew up in Toronto. That's where I want to settle down.

<Daniel_Nestor> squirt: I did that after the match.
<Vickys> Daniel - what guys on the ATP tour do you hang out with?
