TENNIS FANS! New thread -With bouncier balls and clean towels...

[Raahh]

New thread for tennis fans, with or without the ability to watch on tv. Or even live and in person

(When should we start pestering for our back?)

Here you all are.

Murray a young Sean Connery? Even as a Murray fan I think that's pushing it.

Oh Raahh, is it still your shoulder? Bloody good job you're not a horse - if you were, and if it was this time last year, we might have ended up buying you from the supermarket and eating you! How are the hols treating you?

Andy Murray and Sean Connery? In what universe?! However, he does look like this bloke a bit I think:

I'll go with Gulbis then just to make it a bit more interesting, don't really mind though. It's on tomorrow but not sure if TennisTv will be showing it.

Juan- it has been part shoulder/headaches/ knackeredness/ and migraine.

My children have been bickering amongst themselves nicely all week. DH was meant to be off- but had to go in Thurs/Fri- to cover someone else's holidays not sure how that works. This weekend he is umpiring a softball tournament- which is all weekend, but the money is welcome. Even if today my darling children have pushed me to the limits

Only a week and a bit left. Fortunately, chocolate is not a trigger for my headaches- I will claim my 'mummy tax' in Easter eggs next weekend

I dare not say who i think Murray looks like. I got into trouble last time I did

Raahh, you made it through the reset then. . Was worried you might have got lost and not been able to find us again.

If you're taking Dogsbollocks and Juan's taking Gulbis, then I'll just toss a coin tomorrow.

I'm As usual .

I don't remember changing my password i suppose I must have. I didn't sleep well, and have that dozy 'morning after' feeling at the moment.

I have had a very lazy morning. I am watching the marathon.

Morning all, lovely day here. Dh is off in a min to Wembley with ds1 and 2 to watch Sheffield Utd v Hull. I'll be glad to get him out of the way - he was attempting some self assembly earlier which has produced, not the new shelving I wanted, but a mess and lots of swearing (on his part). No better Raahh? I've changed p/w but don't r understand what went on. Do any of you?

I'm a bit miffed there's no coverage of Monte Carlo today, there are a couple of matches I'd like to see.

Juan- I'm feeling better than I have for about 3 weeks- I have had an almost constant headache- but today my head just feels a bit woolly, like a hangover (though I've not had a drink for weeks).

Just seen CJ from the Eggheads finish the marathon- he's running for Millie's Trust, which is a local charity, so glad to see him finish well.

Have you seen the doc Raahh? Not right to have bad head for so long. Maybe you're lacking in something like iron?

Oh and by the way, who did you say Andy looked like?!

I agree with Juan. You should probably see a doctor. I think you'd said you'd changed your password but your TIO had disappeared. Oddly I think if you are posting from some devices or using google or FB to log in you can still log in without changing your pw.

Essentially Juan - you might have heard about the heartbleed bug that is affecting lots of websites. It sort of means that anyone can ask the server to give them a list of usernames and passwords and it will give it to them unencrypted (Ok so its a bit more complicated than that). There is a fix to it and tech fixed it pretty quickly but inexplicably decided there was no need to change pw because he'd fixed it.

Unfortunately somebody had already accessed it by the time tech had fixed the site. On Fri night they logged in as Justine and posted a spoof thread. Yesterday afternoon somebody logged in as several different MNers to post in a thread in site stuff and posted a short list of MNer usernames and passwords on another website. Which I suspect caused somebody in HQ to swear a lot and drink a lot of gin.

Logging on as a MNer isn't a big problem there's not much personal data on your account. But you really should change your password elsewhere if you've used the same one you've used on MN.

Rafa- I've seen the doctor, and had blood tests, nothing is showing up. I'm putting it all down to age :-) but I have been taking iron supplements, despite the doctor saying there was no problem (not convinces, I've always been on the low side). To be honest, I've never flt completely right since being sterilised when i had dd2. Probably a coincidence, but I never felt like this before.

and Juan I might have mentioned a passing resemblance to Beavis or Butthead (mtv cartoon characters from the early 90's). (can never remember which is which). It didn't go down well.

ahem

Dogsbollocks has taken the first set over Gulbis. I forgot to toss a coin. Heads - dogs, tails - gulbis.

Tails - Gulbis it is then

ooh- C'mon then Dog!!

Oh god I just wrote a massive post that disappeared. Come on Gulbis.

Ooh yes, Raahh, can definitely see the resemblance!

Thanks for explaining Clay. I've had the same password for years and have it in so many places I can't remember.

Dogsbollocks has won.

I went to do something else and when I came back it had disappeared from the live scores site. It's not under completed matches either. Very weird.

Are you on the ATP site? I feel sorry for Gulbis - out already. Would have felt sorry or Dogsbollocks too though. Would love I have a few days to myself in Monte Carlo.

Keeping an eye on the Thiem v Mahut match now. I really rate Thiem.
