Supervisor's Democracy

My research proposal is almost done! (almost - because here nothing is certain, you think you've finished with something, only to find out from your boss that there's something more that you can add)

The tv in the main lab is always turned on these days because the Australian Open is going on. It's the quarter finals now, Federer and Roddick are already in the semi finals and so are Sharapova and Serena Williams, the other 4 will be decided today. Our supervisor doesn't seem to think that the tv belongs in the lab (even though it's in the dining area). However, he doesn't object much to tennis as much as he objects cricket. Probably because he can't understand the rules of cricket. So if there's a cricket match going on, he takes great pleasure in turning it off, despite the groans and objections from all the others. That's about 8 people vs 1, and they call it democracy.
