It was in the eighth episode of Season 8 of The Simpsons, America’s most biting portrait of family life, when the truth behind Ned Flanders emerged.
Flanders is the smiling, do-gooding, impossibly upbeat neighbour of Homer Simpson and the family.
Homer hates him. But in Hurricane Neddy it is revealed that as a child Flanders was a terror, raised by beatnik parents who felt no need to discipline him and let him run wild.
Radical therapy, including eight months of continuous spanking, changed him. Thereafter Flanders automatically suppressed all his anger, instead smiling and diddly-doodling his way through life.
In that episode, after one misfortune too many, Flanders finally explodes and lets out years of the real him, real pent-up rage.
That brings us, naturally, to Novak Djokovic, fresh off winning a fifth Australian Open and an eighth major overall.
Finally, now it seems as if he may begin to take advantage of his age and health and pull away from Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal to forge a reign all of his own. No big four, but big Djoko and the others.
He remains probably the most difficult of the four to get a handle on, on and off the court. You can argue all you want that it should not matter what he is really like but, hey, the world wants to know its public figures.
It is easy to see in Federer the peculiar detachment of true genius. He has the same lack of self-awareness you would expect from such regality, a man whose gift means he is far removed from the ordinary player.
Nadal’s intensity burns so bright and obvious it is as if he is Benicio del Toro doing a sans-nuance Hollywood portrayal of himself. Of all the injuries he has inflicted upon himself, it is astonishing he has not burst a vein during play. He is for real on court.
Andy Murray? He is an open book. Ivan Lendl tried to close it, to bottle the crazy within, and it seemed to be working. But it cannot be kept shut long.
He did not lose well to Djokovic in Melbourne this week, but it was comforting to see him so human, to have his meltdowns on court, in public, get over it and still smile afterwards.
Djokovic is Flanders, in the unmistakable impression that he has bottled the real him inside. He diddly-doodlies his way through his career now, joking, impersonating, dancing, laughing, the perfect No 1 and a typical 21st-century shiny, happy sports star.
Parents would love for their daughters to bring him home. Since he is married now, sponsors are probably keener to bring the brand in him back to their boards and chief executives. Yet this is surely not his default setting, this joshing, too-contrived jocularity.
We know quite a bit of the transformation he underwent in 2010. At least we know the physical side of it, the changes in diet and training. But he was also a different man before then, not entirely likeable but a little more abrasive.
Remember that courtside interview after he beat Andy Roddick in the 2008 US Open quarter-finals? Roddick had stopped just short of calling Djokovic a hypochondriac, pre-match.
Djokovic’s revenge was both bristling and eager to please, turning the New York crowd even further against him.
It was a brief exchange but there was a real Djokovic there, one in whom the edges had not yet been scrubbed out, in whom the marks of a tough upbringing were still visible.
Some of that real went in 2010, as he cagily conceded to The New Yorker in 2013.
“I never wanted to step away from who I am and what I do and what I want.
“I wanted to fully commit to this life and, on the other hand, I needed to understand how I needed to go about things on and off the court to be the world’s best, and that’s where the adjustment comes.”
That is what it is – an adjustment. That punk upstart has not been killed completely.
It has just mutated into a sanitised version, one with which tennis, still a pretty fusty sport, is comfortable.
The bottom line is it has helped him win majors and become a more successful player, one who will easily end up as one of the greats. But maybe one day, like Ned Flanders, he will explode and the real, old Djokovic will come out.
Especially if it happens on court, it could be a day worth waiting for.

What is double taxation?
- Americans living abroad file taxes with the Internal Revenue Service, which can cost hundreds of dollars to complete even though about 60 per cent do not owe taxes, according to the Taxpayer Advocate Service
- Those obligations apply to millions of Americans residing overseas – estimates range from 3.9 million to 5.5 million – including so-called "accidental Americans" who are unaware they hold dual citizenship
- The double taxation policy has been a contentious issue for decades, with many overseas Americans feeling that it punishes them for pursuing opportunities abroad
- Unlike most countries, the US follows a citizenship-based taxation system, meaning that Americans must file taxes annually, even if they do not earn any income in the US.
La Mer lowdown
La Mer beach is open from 10am until midnight, daily, and is located in Jumeirah 1, well after Kite Beach. Some restaurants, like Cupagahwa, are open from 8am for breakfast; most others start at noon. At the time of writing, we noticed that signs for Vicolo, an Italian eatery, and Kaftan, a Turkish restaurant, indicated that these two restaurants will be open soon, most likely this month. Parking is available, as well as a Dh100 all-day valet option or a Dh50 valet service if you’re just stopping by for a few hours.

If you go
The flights
There are direct flights from Dubai to Sofia with FlyDubai (www.flydubai.com) and Wizz Air (www.wizzair.com), from Dh1,164 and Dh822 return including taxes, respectively.
The trip
Plovdiv is 150km from Sofia, with an hourly bus service taking around 2 hours and costing $16 (Dh58). The Rhodopes can be reached from Sofia in between 2-4hours.
The trip was organised by Bulguides (www.bulguides.com), which organises guided trips throughout Bulgaria. Guiding, accommodation, food and transfers from Plovdiv to the mountains and back costs around 170 USD for a four-day, three-night trip.
How tumultuous protests grew
- A fuel tax protest by French drivers appealed to wider anti-government sentiment
- Unlike previous French demonstrations there was no trade union or organised movement involved
- Demonstrators responded to online petitions and flooded squares to block traffic
- At its height there were almost 300,000 on the streets in support
- Named after the high visibility jackets that drivers must keep in cars
- Clashes soon turned violent as thousands fought with police at cordons
- An estimated two dozen people lost eyes and many others were admitted to hospital

Dirham Stretcher tips for having a baby in the UAE
Selma Abdelhamid, the group's moderator, offers her guide to guide the cost of having a young family:
• Buy second hand stuff
They grow so fast. Don't get a second hand car seat though, unless you 100 per cent know it's not expired and hasn't been in an accident.
• Get a health card and vaccinate your child for free at government health centres
Ms Ma says she discovered this after spending thousands on vaccinations at private clinics.
• Join mum and baby coffee mornings provided by clinics, babysitting companies or nurseries.
Before joining baby classes ask for a free trial session. This way you will know if it's for you or not. You'll be surprised how great some classes are and how bad others are.
• Once baby is ready for solids, cook at home
Take the food with you in reusable pouches or jars. You'll save a fortune and you'll know exactly what you're feeding your child.

Libya's Gold
UN Panel of Experts found regime secretly sold a fifth of the country's gold reserves.
The panel’s 2017 report followed a trail to West Africa where large sums of cash and gold were hidden by Abdullah Al Senussi, Qaddafi’s former intelligence chief, in 2011.
Cases filled with cash that was said to amount to $560m in 100 dollar notes, that was kept by a group of Libyans in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
A second stash was said to have been held in Accra, Ghana, inside boxes at the local offices of an international human rights organisation based in France.
