WIMBLEDON - 2013- Second Set!

[Raahh]

Thought we'd have a new thread for today.

It is raining cats and dogs (technical term) here in theNorth West- I am not very hopeful of a full days play at Wimbledon. but fingers crossed. The weather bloke last night today would be 'Frustrating Friday'in terms of play. Fond of alliteration, those Wimbledon types.

FRIDAY ORDER OF PLAY

As I thought,Robson has had an up-grade from court 2 to centre, which should give her a boost.

Looking forward to see if Dimitrov pulls through- and
VAMOS FERRER!!
first upon number 1 court.

Oh David

Noooooo.

Phew, lovely Juan is through with a nicely bandaged knee. He's so good with the little uns when signing autographs (biased, me?). Shame I'm old enough to be his mother. Sigh ...

Tennis partners for the mn mixed doubles:

Me - obviously del Potato!
Raah - anyone Spanish Nadal
The rest of you?

sieze - they (my M & D) wouldn't have come across you probably, she was in outpatients and he was an anaesthetist. Not sure whether to congratulate or commiserate with you on your "shoot-them-out" method of delivering babies! Glad your dd ok, and how exciting that you're going to be a gm soon! My youngest ds was born there - he wasn't meant to be, but came early whilst I was visiting my parents. I kind of felt it was fate that one of my dc was born, not only in my home town, but in the hospital where my M & D had spent so much time (and me too, actually - every day after school when I was little, waiting for one of them!) Sorry for the digression into my life story there everyone!

Witt - poor you for having to endure Cliff, but glad your dm enjoyed herself!

Oh, Bollocks, Ferrer

Noooooooooo why did Ferrer have to double fault at 6-6?

Farley Seeing as you and Raahh have bagged the best looking players already I'll have to pick Ferrer (unless I can have Bahrami?)

I'm sorry but when I see Dolgopolo, I automatically pronounce it as "Dogsbollocksgo"

Can have whoever you like Witt!

So far then we've signed up Nadal, Del Potato and Ferrer/Bahrami. Who else?

Witt- Bahrami would be an excellent doubles partner.

Ferrer is very out of sorts.

Dogsbollocksgo

ha!ha!

that will stick...

Well, if you're having Bahrami, I'll take Dustin if no one's snapped him up.

Do you think ten minutes will be enough time for me to get ready to go out tonight (you def wouldn't if you could see me!)?

I need to stop watching.

Dustin! Forgot about him He's much too tall for me though.

Jesus, you're a bunch of floozies on this thread... Okay then I want Boris Becker - I will happily spend 3 minutes in a room cupboard with him.

I am making dinner here, trying to rush through it so I can have peace to watch Djock if he ever comes on.....

Raah - you don't necessarily have to pick the player who you think would play the best for this mn tournament!

Raah/Nadal
Farley/Del Potato
Witt/Bahrami
Clay/Dustin

Anybody for Dogsbollocks?!

Broom Cupboard.....

Raah/Nadal
Farley/DelPotato
Witt/Bahrami
Clay/Dustin
sieze/Becker

Dogsbollocksgo is one of those big servers who I hate.

VAMOS FERRER

Farley, do you think anyone's picked the player they think would play the best?

Ds2 is watching with me now and providing his own commentary, plus correcting me. Wish he'd be quiet, I like mispronouncing names.

Dogsbollocks needs to slip...

Well, I was a bit worried that Raah was considering their technical tennis technique when she commented on Bahrami being a good person to play doubles with. I haven't personally given more than a passing thought to their racquet skills ...

Ok, I'm definitely having Bahrami. Then I will get to hang out with Leconte after the match too

Huh. Ds2 has just told me I look like Dogsbollocksgo. Sulking now. Mind you, if I have to look like a man, he's not a bad one to resemble I suppose.

Where is the ferret game? Sue barker just said it was on the red button but it isn't
