AIBU to be sitting here still in my jammies watching Wimbledon build up?

That's it really. Got up, did a few bits of cleaning but have now stopped to watch the build up.

It was! I was really enjoying it and wanted it to go on longer - sorry if it looked as if i meant something different...it was so good i didn't mind who won i wanted Kimiko to win

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 22/06/2011 16:27

BTW, meant to say ages ago: crushes on JOHN INVERDALE?!?!

I used to feel ashamed having a (very mini) crush on Andy M, but that really takes the strawberry shortcake.

Ariesgirl · 22/06/2011 16:31

I'm not the only one

And Andy Murray's got fluffy hair and is going bald. So there!

Anyway, good match, that. I didn't want either to lose, though I was supporting Kimiko a little bit. Now Heather Watson is on. Is it me or does the whole nature of the game look quite a lot crapper?

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 22/06/2011 16:41

I know, it was aimed at the pair of you Smile

I'm fully aware of Andy M's shortcomings. It's a very irrational crush but, in my defence, it really is a mini one ? I don't feel the burning desire to watch all his matches and I don't hunt down everything I can to do with him on YouTube and Twitter and everything like I do with my really sad-obsessive sleb crushes.

Great match between Venus and Kimiko. I was a bit disappointed that Kimiko didn't really acknowledge the very warm ovation she got as she left the court. The crowd loved her performance and were showing their appreciation. I guess she was gutted though, having had so many chances and got so close.

Ariesgirl · 22/06/2011 16:57

You love him. You want to marry him. It's not so much as a crush per se on Invers, but more of a brief appreciation of his older manly charms.

Yes, I thought that about Date too.

RaahhfaNadalsMyToyboy · 22/06/2011 17:00

I have discovered I can watch screen in screen on my tv, so can swap between matches with ease useless technophobe
very excited!

RaahhfaNadalsMyToyboy · 22/06/2011 17:01

As for Date, she looked a bit teary, maybe she just wanted to go and sob in the locker room?

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 22/06/2011 17:17

Aries, Grin. I'm showing my age here, but I can't help thinking of the 'that's you, that is' sketch from Newman and Baddiel. Smile

Ariesgirl · 22/06/2011 17:19

That's why I said it Grin I'm so glad someone got it!

You know your bike? It's a GIRL'S bike
I do not own a bicycle.
You do and it's a girl's bike. It's for girls.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 22/06/2011 17:22

Ah, see, I'm old enough to remember the sketch in general, but I couldn't possibly quote it (apart from 'that's you, that is' obviously). Happy memories. Must YouTube it.

Ariesgirl · 22/06/2011 17:25
Blush

I known for having the most ridiculous memory imaginable. I can remember comedy sketches from 1991, but not very important crucial things that someone told me this morning. I think this is actually called presenile dementia.

RaahhfaNadalsMyToyboy · 22/06/2011 17:26

'That's you that is' aww , reminds me of uni.

Where is the Nadal match????????

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 22/06/2011 17:26

No, I'm impressed. I can remember some really sad obscure things, but it's a bit hit and miss.

Ariesgirl · 22/06/2011 17:30

Happy days...

snowbiz · 22/06/2011 17:31

Do you think Andy Murray will shave any time soon or is that lucky facial hair?

Ariesgirl · 22/06/2011 17:32

Shit, though the AIDS thing is awful and not funny. I met Rob Newman once. He was a prat.

Anyway, back to the tennis. Has Heather had to forfeit?

snowbiz · 22/06/2011 17:32

Where's the girl who promised the interesting outfit? Have I missed her? (The one who wore the silly tennis ball dress to the pre Wimby party).

TrilllianAstra · 22/06/2011 17:33

It's Wednesday evening now so if you are still in your Monday-morning jammies then yes YABU :o

RaahhfaNadalsMyToyboy · 22/06/2011 17:34

Bethanie- something is the one with the silly outfit. Showed a clip of her in a sweatshirt with balls on it, before. She always has strange black marks on her face too. She is also no particularly goodGrin

RaahhfaNadalsMyToyboy · 22/06/2011 17:38

(she is quite high ranked, i think, but i am not a fanGrin)

snowbiz · 22/06/2011 17:38

I think Judy Murray and his girlfriend always have to sit next to each other so there's no jealousy over who he looks towards most. I bet Judy wishes the girlfriend wasn't even there

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 22/06/2011 17:41

Thanks for the link, Aries, will watch it later.

I meant to say re Andy's hair: yes, it's bad, but not as bad as his brother's. Last time I saw him he looked like Sideshow Bob. Re: the facial hair ...
don't mind it actually.

RaahhfaNadalsMyToyboy · 22/06/2011 17:42

Bethanie Mattek-Sands

Scroll down......

snowbiz · 22/06/2011 17:44

Bethanie wotshername should make friends with Venus Grin

RaahhfaNadalsMyToyboy · 22/06/2011 17:55

Her long socks make her look like a footy player. I hardly know who she is h buther Ga-ga inspired outfits make me want to shake her attention seeking horror
