Let me save your reputation, magimedi...

Deliciano is mine Grin

magimedi · 15/06/2014 22:30

I have no & care not for any reputatio, Drama Grin

Pesky I will go if the weather is OK - I've suffered enough cold days at Eastbourne tennis to know better than to go when it is freezing, with the wind howling round the stands & having to wear a hat in gloves - in June, FFS.

JuanPotatoTwo · 16/06/2014 00:00

Have you no shame woman? That's a rhetorical question by the way. I think you better had go on Wednesday - a nice bracing breeze might be just what you need.

Morning Tennis I am about, sneaking looks on here and at the Tv - this is my last week in college - it was meant to be last week but I have to go in to cover clients as half the class has been told to go home and those of us who were daft enough to be there last week have been roped in to cover this week as well. Unfortunately, I can't argue because of the degree which I have had the unofficial nod for and been given my days in from September :) and tutors names... This Thursday is my very last day and I have absolutely no work left to do at home Grin which means I am free to peruse the world of Wimbles in minute detail and bug the total heck out of anybody who crosses my path about the stats, gameplay, umpires, crowd, green, green grass and Andrew Castle Grin I turned down a party invite on the first Thursday of Wimbles so I can watch it all through this year - I care not people imagine me a recluse Tennis....

That sounds like good timing threebats. I've managed to get the 2nd week off work so will be able to join you all.

Since I've been retired the Wimbledon fortnight gets marked off on the calendar in January.

Answer phone goes on, friends & family know not to ring during matches. DH (who does a lot of cooking anyhow) takes over all the catering & I install myself in my armchair & justify my TV licence.

Bring it on!!

DramaAlpaca · 16/06/2014 12:19

I will have to work, but will have the Slam Tracker open on my PC.

Raahh · 16/06/2014 13:34

ooh,Drama, get you and your little flag.

I have no interest in football, but do you think i could get a Spanish one in honour of Rafa, who will get past the 1st round this year (i hope ). Tennis

Or can I pick something totally random?

Raahh · 16/06/2014 13:37
Sad

It knows I'm fibbing. The little drop down box of favourite teams says 'none'

Grin
Raahh · 16/06/2014 13:40

oh, it worked!

Of course, people will now think i support a really rubbish football teamGrin

I think i will just change it dailyGrin

DramaAlpaca · 16/06/2014 14:38

Raahh I have zero interest in football either. I just did it because I could Grin

I'd have put Ireland (even tho' I'm English) but they didn't qualify Sad

JuanPotatoTwo · 16/06/2014 15:44

Ooh flags! I need an Argentine one. Flag, that is.

Raahh · 16/06/2014 15:57

Juan- Of course you mean flagWink.

JuanPotatoTwo · 16/06/2014 16:02

Oh I can't do it :( Oh well, there can't be too many people who read the tennis threads who don't know where my loyalties lie :) Just a shame he's not playing - I can still shout for him, yes?

How's the head raahh?

Raahh · 16/06/2014 16:10

Much better today, thank, Juan - which is good. Spent yesterday feeling like I was underwater!

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 16/06/2014 17:00

Juan check and see if its logged you out. h jad to log back in again before it would let me change it this morning.

JuanPotatoTwo · 16/06/2014 19:05

Thanks Clay. Has it worked?

OP posts:
JuanPotatoTwo · 16/06/2014 19:09

Hmm. Try again.

OP posts:
JuanPotatoTwo · 16/06/2014 19:10

Yes, did it! Pot has signed up to play his first tournament in September. In Malaysia. Can't see me getting there somehow :)

OP posts:
JuanPotatoTwo · 16/06/2014 19:12

It goes back and gives flags to all your old posts too. That's clever.

OP posts:
HarveySchlumpfenburger · 16/06/2014 19:58

Yay! You got your Argentinian flag. Every time I click on to 'MyMumsnet' these days it logs me out. I'm sure it didn't used to do that. It got me at the weekend too, and then tried to tell me I didn't exist.

If you change your flag, it will change all of them too. I started off with and England flag but no one else seemed to at the time so I changed it.

magimedi · 16/06/2014 20:15

Well, I wasn't going to go for a flag as I hate football with a passion.

But I am not going to let ElPeskyJuan claim Pot all for herself.

Great news that he is playing again.

Funnilly enough I am going to Malaysia in September (on my own) at someone's request.

Eat your heart out, Pesky Grin

JuanPotatoTwo · 16/06/2014 20:29

muddled if you must tell fibs, at least make them believable. I have it on his the highest authority that the Malaysia Custom Authorities have been placed on high alert for crazed stalker elderly ladies undesirables in September.

OP posts:
HarveySchlumpfenburger · 16/06/2014 20:30

Ooohh Flags at dawn...

DramaAlpaca · 16/06/2014 21:57

If magimedi is going to fight Juan for Pot, does that mean I can have Deliciano all to myself Wink
