Accidentally filled up the last thread without realising.

Have the day off today so can sit and watch the tennis scores update.

We still have Tennis Tennis too.

Well- I had hoped to spend a couple of hours refreshing my screen- but had to go to the doctors. Only to get a repeat prescription, so a bit of a waste of time.

And very happy Nadal is through. And given his rather rubbish draw, I don't care how he got throughGrin. I don't imagine any of us are going to rush to massage Tomic's groin, are we? Grin

The heat in Melbourne is brutal though. Makes me grateful to live in a part of the UK that has fairly dull, non-extreme weatherGrin.

-that's rubbish about Sky- it will soon be the summer though, and weeks of tennis on the tv.

DD2 started nursery last week, mornings only, - I feel redundant.Grin She totally loves it and doesn't miss me at all

And Hurrah for Potato!

JuanPotatoTwo · 14/01/2014 12:36

Don't feel redundant Raahh, revel in your free time! You'll soon get used to it and want more! Yeuch, the thought of massaging Tomic's groin is not a nice one -although did you see those pics of him in a club in December? Those two girls were happy enough to do the honours.

magimedi · 14/01/2014 13:16

threebats - I am also a big tournament only person. I don't have Sky so don't follow the other stuff.

And take no notice of that dreadful Juan - El Potato is MINE, all mine.

JuanPotatoTwo · 14/01/2014 15:44

Hmmph, was going to tell threebats that there was a deluded poster who thought Pot was hers, but thought discretion was the better part of valour. Should have known. Is there a little bell in your house magi that rings every time Pot gets a mention? Grin

magimedi · 14/01/2014 15:50

Pot rings All my bells, *Juan. Wink

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 14/01/2014 22:23

Good to see you back threebats.

Sounds like it was a scorcher out on court www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/tennis/25724815

Maybe Raahh will get her wish of seeing Tsonga run naked across the court.

threebats · 15/01/2014 07:01

Yes Juan Guilty as charged - Grand daughter is now nearly 5 months old and lovely (now she has finally stopped crying!!) Sports massage starts in September this year - I first had to qualify in Swedish massage, Reflexology, Aromatherapy and Indian Head massage - that's a level 3 in Holistics but sounds so much grander when I list all the things I can actually do! I am 4 months into that now and its going really quite well - just completed a mammoth case study - all ready to hand in tomorrow. As for today? I have a smear test to go to and am not looking forward to it. Have had 2 days off this week as I chose to stay home yesterday over go on a Spa trip - wanted to catch up with cleaning, my house is a tip since study began. You'd think studying massage is airy-fairy - we do go in and have massages all the time, yes - I am massaged to within an inch of my life most weeks. But the actual work involved when we get home? Sweet Lord, who knew? But its great and am determined to get the sports massage done Smile
Its so nice to see you and Rhaah still here keeping the tennis going - I have been stalking you all actually, getting news via you. I never looked it up on web, if I wanted scores, I came and read you lot.

By the way - shame about your daughter and that witch customer. Read that on Chat - shocking behaviour, hope she is okay now.

threebats · 15/01/2014 07:02

magi Am not getting into who Potato belongs to - I remember it from before, it was brutal Grin
As long as whomever it was who wanted Boris is not still here I am fine and shall stay out of the Potato war!

threebats · 15/01/2014 07:13

Before I go say hello to the shower as we would not want to smear nurse at surgery fainting when she realises somebody on her doctors couch has not seen a wax in a million years! I just wanted to say - cartwheels when I read Boris was Djokovic coach - if I could have done cartwheels that is, I would have done about 5 in a row.
Imagine all those close up shots of him as he sits there in the players box with his fab hair and shades on trying to look impassive? Come on June, for the love of God come on - I finish college on 6th June I am home throughout all the summer tournaments and am already actually planning the days (I have no life). There will be no interruptions this year in the form of Proms and babies being born and people moving houses... In fact, I have already earmarked June for the most vile case of flu ever and I absolutely must not leave house or have anybody over. I shall begin bemoaning symptoms of it on the last day of May - full blown flu, you know the one, that keeps you home for oh about 6 weeks?

JuanPotatoTwo · 15/01/2014 08:45

Djok, Berd, Ferrer, Querrey, Stan, Gasquet, Robredo, Jerzy all through. Dogsbollocks out though, quite surprisingly I thought.

threebats, good luck with the smear. I had a mammogram in December, most bizarre standing in what amounted to a caravan, naked from the top down, making polite conversation about turkey and whatnot!

Sounds like your course is going really well, hope you haven't forgotten that when you have access to nice young tennis players you're going to need lots of helpful assistants! Although, best not to ask magi -between ourselves, she's a bit past it, and tends to get overexcited.

Hard to believe your grand daughter is five months old, I remember your lovely daughter still being pregnant . Good plan re June - think to be sure you don't get any drop in visitors you need to paint your windows black and put an iron bar across the door. One of the few advantages of being self employed is managing my time around tennis. God how sad is that. I want to work in tennis land, not in my boring poorly paid area.

Anyway, talking of work, I must do some. I buggered about on here virtually all day yesterday. Have a lovely day fellow fans (and magi).

JuanPotatoTwo · 15/01/2014 08:48

Ps threebats, put me out of my misery and remind me what your previous name was (if you don't mind saying), it's driving me insane trying to remember! I was FarleyD.

Oh, and I saw Boris commentating on the WTF in the O2 in December. Wasn't close enough to kidnap him for you though, sorry ...

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 15/01/2014 10:18

I always get your original name and threebats original name mixed up. Have to stop and think who I'm talking to sometimes.

I'm sure Boris will be quite safe if you keep him locked up in your cupboard and only let him out when necessary, threebats. It will keep other people's hands off him.

Raahh · 15/01/2014 10:46

Morning all.

I have not had chance to look at any scores, and went shopping straight from the school run. I'd forgotten what shopping alone was like Grin . Mind you, I also forget I am alone- and still witter away to myself as if talking to dd2. People must think I am mad.

I am not impressed with the AO mobile app- nowhere near as clear as the Wimbledon one. And it keeps crashing. It might, of course, be the operator of the phone that is the problemGrin.

Right- am off to do a 'mug cull' of the cupboards, for dh to take spare ones to work. Who knew life could be so thrilling, once dd2 went to nursery? Grin

Raahh · 15/01/2014 12:25

Been looking over tomorrow's schedule- and apart from Nadal, obvs- it's the return of the brilliantly named Jack Sock. I hope he's a twin. A pair of Socks.
Otherwise, he's an odd Sock.

It keeps me amused.

threebats · 15/01/2014 14:09

I don't know who you are rafaisthekingofclay Who were you before??
I was Seizethenight - spelt wrong because I secretly can't spell.
I changed it - three bats - still Meatloaf orientated.

I have Eurosport on currently Serena is on. Its catchup, not sure if they have live on at nights but I can't stay up anyhow so there you go... This is my best bet and tutting loudly throughout today as I am back in college from 8 till 4.30 tomorrow so no chance in heck of catching up.

Smear was fine, I was on 6 monthly watch after having laser stuff done for pre-cancerous cells (I think it sounds more serious than it was - at least for me anyhow, I know its not for others. I am not a maudlin soul so breezed through the whole thing without much worry). Been clear for 3 years now so its yearly testing for next 10 years. Am more than used to getting the kit off, laying back and making mundane talk about naff subjects to pass the few minutes. Got the nurse to get an ingrowing hair out last time I was there, thought, well, she may as well earn her keep while she's down that region!

Can't post pics on this thread? I was goign to pop one up of the baby.

What!? They took the ball away AGAIN??

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 15/01/2014 17:48

I was ClayDavis. I knew you were seize but for some reason in my head I occasionally think Juan was seizethenight and forget that she was Farley.

Glad to hear that you are OK now.

You can't get pictures on this thread. I suspect their too worried about how many pictures of naked tennis players would appear on it.

Raahh · 15/01/2014 18:30

I think it is very sad you can't post pics. Maybe we should start the next thread in chat.

And it won't stop us linking to nekkid pictures of Nadal sporty shots of our favourite stars.

magimedi · 15/01/2014 19:48

Am up for next thread in Chat & pictures.

As long as that weaselly Juan is barred Grin

PS. Juan - Did you take the mental age test that was around on Chat today - mine is so very young - neeeer neeeeeer !! Grin

Bet they give it back if Murray reaches the finals - wot do they know?

Raahh · 15/01/2014 19:55

magi-

yup, Tennis will be returned for Murray. Not that he'll get to the final.Grin

JuanPotatoTwo · 15/01/2014 21:30

I'm flattered to be mixed up with threebats/seize, she always made me laugh.

Shall we move to chat then? Pictures of naked tennis players would be nice. I think there should be some sort of eligibility to join test though. Perhaps a mental age test? Anyone with a young mental age should be barred. Wouldn't want their innocent minds tarnished by anything would we?

ValaRaahh · 15/01/2014 21:33

The only problem with going to chat is the 'going pfft' factor after 90 days. In case we ever needed to look back on our pithy remarks and nekkid picturesGrin
