David Mercer was a solicitor before he became a commentator.

siezethenight · 02/07/2013 15:57

Wow, you guys know so much about David Mercer!

siezethenight · 02/07/2013 15:58

Is the roof being closed now? Oh! Yes, great stuff - settling back down on couch then...

FarleyD · 02/07/2013 16:00

Sadly, that's about as exciting as my life gets seize - possible dreams about David Mercer! Tell us more about the nice man in the corridor?

And Chub - yes! I remember now that he was a solicitor now that you have told me. How do you know that?

Lovely! Every family member I have (and I have an enormous family) are still in the Swansea area, so I am a bit of a rebel loving as I do in the London suburbs.

Have you ladies been to wimbledon this year? I didn't get tickets, so I have just watched on the bbc. I have really enjoyed it, it has just rushed by, as usual. It feels like I wait forever for it, and then whooosh, its gone.

HappyAsEyeAm · 02/07/2013 16:02

A solicitr AND from Wales? Dai and I have like everything in common. I will demand that he gets me tickets next year!

FarleyD · 02/07/2013 16:03

That's just what I said Happy (about it rushing by after waiting for ever for it to come). I haven't been for over 20 years, but think a couple of people on one or other of the threads have been.

HappyAsEyeAm · 02/07/2013 16:05

I am having a bit of a st Paul on the road to Damascus moment. Do you think he was part of Douglas Jones and Mercer then, which is a Swansea firm of solicitors?

siezethenight · 02/07/2013 16:06

Dai Grin

Man in corridor turned out to be a tutor of Car Engineering - I did a shameless flirt with him before I realised this point of fact and possibly have to now spend all my 18 months at the place avoiding him... It went along the lines of;
Him: Are you lost?
Me: That depends who you ask. Are oyu lost?
Him: I have been lost all my life.
Me: Shall we go off somewhere and get lost together
Him: Love to but better not, I have students coming in to enroll today
Me: Your a tutor (strangled voice)
Him: Yep, engineering....

siezethenight · 02/07/2013 16:07

Yeah happy
Michael Douglas
Zeta Jones and David Mercer - now that's a firm I would use!

Chubfuddler · 02/07/2013 16:12

Wikipedia told me

Radwanska looks exhausted!

Witt · 02/07/2013 16:33

Why do I not like Radwanska?

Raahh · 02/07/2013 16:36

Witt- I'm not keen, and can't put my finger on why.

Kvitova up next, now her I like. But I don't know whyGrin

noddyholder · 02/07/2013 16:37

She looks ill

Witt · 02/07/2013 16:37

Glad it's not just me, Raahh. I have no reason to dislike her but for some reason she just grates on me.

siezethenight · 02/07/2013 16:43

Lipsticky had to learn to walk again? Is that what she just said? Crikey and now she is back playing great tennis. Hats off. Respect.

HappyAsEyeAm · 02/07/2013 16:47

Absolutely, seize. Incredible.

siezethenight · 02/07/2013 16:47

Is she going to keep those shades on all the way through, even with the roof on?

siezethenight · 02/07/2013 16:48

Jesus - I just sounded like my mother.

siezethenight · 02/07/2013 16:50

Oh, they are not shades? Are they glasses then?

siezethenight · 02/07/2013 16:51

Did everybody go to make a cup of tea??

Witt · 02/07/2013 16:52

I really like Sam Smith's commentating. She is so knowledgable on the players and says reaaly interestng things like the fact the court will appear bigger than a normal one to Flipkens.
