Thanks Raahh Grin

Ooh yes Stan's voice is vvv nice, am definitely reconsidering him now!

Good plan fizzy. Maybe if he's quite content commentating on his own the Beeb can just tell him he's doing it all on his own next year, put him in a separate room and not turn the microphone on? And the can still go to the receptions/parties etc. And Tim and John and Sue etc still speak to him etc. What he doesn't know can't hurt him and all that.

CremeEggThief · 17/07/2017 12:53

It WAS funny how he was just abandoned, still commenting yesterday.Grin

Sue, I love your scheme for Inverdale too!

trixymalixy · 17/07/2017 13:36

I have to say it fascinates me how crease free Fed always is. Do you think his underpants are ironed too?! Grin

Raahh · 17/07/2017 13:41

ironed, and monogrammed, trixy

Heather Watsons mums lovely! wish she was mine. she looks so sweet.

Ill put her up there with Judy!

well done Jamie, think the crowd were warmer to Heather and Henri though IMO, no one seems to like Hingis much.

Does Fed need to remind everyone what his name is? bad idea to wear a tshirt with the word Roger on it! (double entendres galore). yy to 'you're so vain'.

comes across fairly well in interviews though.

why werer Heather and Henri unseeded when they won last year?

and when did the 'body slam' become the norm? seems unsportsmanlike to me, they should ban it.

still cant get over Cilics tears! Sad.

don't they show any hardcourt/American season on Eurosport? that's the only one I get apart from sky sports mix that doesn't show much.

oh I miss W already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Tennis

and in the montage, they didn't put many fun bits did they? especially the man in the Kim Clijsters match.

JaneJeffer · 17/07/2017 13:57

Lendl was the king of the body slam!

Yes they always used to show a good montage at the end with all the funny bits.

JaneJeffer · 17/07/2017 14:03

Garbine the belle of the ball. She looks lovely.

I am finding this day sooo long...the housework is not enticing me at all.

JaneJeffer · 17/07/2017 14:47

And I'm here chatting away Andrew Castle style.

Fizzywinegum · 17/07/2017 15:07

Grin Jane - don't worry I'm still here!

Sue excellent plan just letting Andrew Castle think he's commentating!

Poor Rafa drawing himself more hair - he has gone a little bit thin on top ... but I dont mind!

It's too hot here to do any housework even if I could be bothered

Raahh · 17/07/2017 15:50

I had to go and get children- without 5live to entertain me this time. No more of Goran's dulcet tones Sad.

Garbine looked lovely.

On the news, they said Roger looked like James Bond, which was probably deliberateGrin.
(And I still think calling both your children essentially the same name is odd. Lennart (Swedish for Leonard)and Leo both mean Lion, even if Leo might not be used as a derivative of Lennart).

I can't be bothered getting doing anything at all. It is very warm.

Nobody seems to mind. Which is good. Grin

I miss the tennis.

My main objection to the Ro8er shirt, was the '8', it the middle. So it was obviously all ready and waiting for him before he had even won.

I'm ignoring all references to Rafa's 10th RG celebrations and the fact they must have been done in advance too

and the ones at Monte Carlo, where he also won his 10th

I read somewhere that Anna Wintour is styling him/giving style advice (off court). Did you see his tux for the met ball? It had a big dragon or something on the back. Would link but I'm too hot. So maybe she also had a hand in the Bond look.

Raahh · 17/07/2017 16:43

Yes, the Met Ball Tux was erm...

Interesting. Grin

Raahh · 17/07/2017 16:47

Mirka also worse a very unusual Gucci jumper at the Aussie open. But I think she gets away with slightly wacky. Grin

I can't link, as I'm on my phone, and my laptop has decided it can't be bothered to do anything today eitherGrin

jumper

OP posts:

Fed's tux

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 17/07/2017 17:43

I'm sure Mirka got that in Primark for a fiver Grin

SueMacartney · 17/07/2017 17:45

Thanks for links Raahh. I have quite extreme filters on my new internet wotsit so your link to Fed's tux is blocked. It must be considered sexxayyyy.

Raahh · 17/07/2017 17:49

Jane Grin Yup, money clearly can't buy taste. But it can buy Gucci fluffy jumpers.

Sue If cobra's are sexy.GrinIs it a cobra?? I'm not good on snakes... and I deliberately avoided the Daily Mail link tooGrin

OP posts:
Raahh · 17/07/2017 17:54

The jumper apparently cost 2000 aussie dollars., about £1100 .

£1100

But I think Mirka can get away with it.

Can you see Kim Murray in it??Grin

MajesticWhine · 17/07/2017 20:11

Hilarious pictures. What was Mirka thinking? And Roger looks like he's having a wee in the corner.
