Farley- no idea. They are moaning there is no cricket ball for the Ashes or a football.

Well, ask for one (as we had been doing for years) and you never know!

Grin at the rabbit, except the same thing happened to my rabbits years ago. Only we thought they were both female, until the first litterHmm They were separated by the time the second litter came.Grin

Raahh · 30/08/2013 21:25

I have posted (and deleted) a response several times coward

Berdych has won (didn't make it easy), so Murray on next.

The Sloane Stephens match may be over quite soon- but don't think Del Potato will be on before midnightSad

Chubfuddler · 30/08/2013 21:38

COME ON ANDY!!!!

Raahh · 30/08/2013 21:47

Spooky stuff- Murray and his opponent, Mayer share the exact same birthday.

Chubfuddler · 30/08/2013 21:50

I'm on the clunking BBC live feed.

FarleyD · 30/08/2013 21:51

I'm bitter with you Raahh, it's not fair (challenges 9 yr old ds3).

Raahh · 30/08/2013 21:52

I'm more miffed they won't put Del Potato on earlySad

FarleyD · 30/08/2013 21:54

Oops that was meant to be "channels" not "challenges". I just asked dh where his newfound interest in wildlife has come from (still watching rabbit/badger programme). Turns out he's not interested in the least - he can't find the remote.

Chubfuddler · 30/08/2013 21:57

Wish they'd put the running score up not just game by game. This is torture.

ClayDavis · 30/08/2013 22:01

I would love to tell you how to use a proxy server, but I don't actually now how yet. My Dad uses one to watch UK stuff online so it must be possible to do it from the UK from the US. I'd imagine that it might temporarily mess up your internet settings for other things though.

Tennis Tennis

I'm not sure we even managed to get a long running Ashes thread. I would have asked for cricket balls if I though there was much demand for them.

Raahh · 30/08/2013 22:08

Farley Grin

there have been many times I have been stuck watching cbeebies because iI can't find be arsed looking for the remote Grin

Chubfuddler · 30/08/2013 22:09

Andy is making terribly heavy weather of this match.

siezethenight · 30/08/2013 22:13

I can't find that thread in chat. Mind you, I am watching Tennis so not looking too hard.

Raahh · 30/08/2013 22:19

sieze- I wouldn't bother. Stick with the Tennis and baby snuggles Envy on both countsGrin

ClayDavis · 30/08/2013 22:19

It's called something like 'why is there a tennis ball emoticon now?', seize.

Good to see Flemming and Marray through in the doubles. Come on Murray.

FarleyD · 30/08/2013 22:20

Clay is your Dad in the US? If I decide to deceive dh and go for the sky one day thing (not that I would ever do that off course unless it means I can watch El Potato) can I watch it on the tv? Wouldn't I need an aerial thing? God I know nothing bout all this stuff.

Watching some mildly amusing thing with Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon now. Marginally better than the rabbits and badgers.

FarleyD · 30/08/2013 22:22

Strikeout fail. I commented on that thread (in a very uncontroversial non- threatening manner, also being a coward).

siezethenight · 30/08/2013 22:23

I found it, was going to be all wrathful bit Olivia is having twins at Christmas so just said we loved tennis and then congrats to her...
I am staying put with this thread now - baby is screaming her absolute head off though...

FarleyD · 30/08/2013 22:24

If these two can get paid for this (Coogan and Brydon), someone should come and pay us for our pithy contributions to this thread.

FarleyD · 30/08/2013 22:26

Is she really having twins? Get the Paul Simon again Sieze - is this bringing back memories for you?

ClayDavis · 30/08/2013 22:32

He's in Turkey, Farley. I think he sometimes uses expat shield or something similar to access iplayer and Netflix. I'm sure I read on here somewhere about a US proxy that allowed you to access the US content on Netflix. My virus scanner is throwing some pretty epic wobblies whilst trying to find out about reliable proxy servers though, so I think I'll just leave it and go back to visualising the tennis and watching the live scores update.

FarleyD · 30/08/2013 22:33

Breaking news - dh has just stood up, approached the telly and manually turned it over. This is a first.

Sorry folks, as you've probably guessed, Im bored. Get me access to live tennis now!

siezethenight · 30/08/2013 22:35

All that exercise will kill him farley he has to take it easy to begin with, just one channel change per evening....

Finally got baby down after horrible 2 hours of crying and eating and all that stuff. Here's hoping she remains down so I can watch this match.

FarleyD · 30/08/2013 22:35

Clay, about ninety per cent of your last post went right over the top of my head Smile. Thank you though.
