Tennis Thread- WIMBLEDON draws to a close, then it's onwards to the hard courts

[Raahh]

Might be over, this match, before we need the thread

But have you got twiglets Raahh?

I feel as if I need some even though I don’t really like them

Djokovic about to serve for the match.

Set sorry!

I used to love Tales of the Unexpected. Spoiler Alert!! There was one where the woman killed her husband by hitting him over the head with a leg of lamb and then cooked it and fed it to the police so there was no murder weapon

I love twiglets - I buy the tins of them around Christmas- but am usually sick of them by around the second week of December . And cheeselets- that they call 'treeslets' and are tree shaped , just for Christmas.

Jane

Some of them are so rubbish- I remember them being really creepy and having proper twists- and most of the ones I've watched have been very disappointing .

But they are short

I love Twiglets , but they are not as good & as mouth burning tasty as they were when I was a child................. how I love to hark back.........

Sorry to see (on line) that Djok has won the first set..

Vamos, Rog - if that ain't a mixed message!

Off to bed - boring seeing it on line - will wait for all your verdicts le matin (channeling mon francais, as I have a bi-lingual PFGC I need all the practice I can get!)

A demain!

Djok definitely the better player so far. Maybe Roger can produce the unexpected to go with your viewing Raahh?!?

I remember the Timothy West one when he turned into a bee (I think) - Saturday night nostalgia.

Jane the perfect crime! (the leg of lamb I mean).

Magi twiglets definitely don't pack as much of a punch as they used to, I agree!

Note to self: buy cheeselets

Fizzy

Private I'm not actually fussed who wins, really. I don't want Djok to be back to his all conquering best, but I don't want Federer to win either.

I remember that one Fizzy and they fed the baby Royal jelly and he started buzzing

The Twilight Zone was great too! Boy have I watched a lot of crap TV in my lifetime!

Agre with you, Raahh

PS: DIL is very bored with Harry 10 x per day

I’ve just googled it Jane (in case I was imagining it and going mad!) - apparently it was based on a Roald Dahl story.

Not sure if I watched any more - I still imagine Timothy west as a bee now if I ever see him in anything!

magi I can imagine. After a while, you can have too much Harry.

I remember one of my flatmates having the book of Tales of the Unexpected Fizzy back in the 80's!

Fizzy I've read that creepy Roald Dahl story (shudder). It was in a collection of his stories for adults, far too sinister for me! I am easily spooked though, although I do quite like Tales of the Unexpected on TV! I haven't seen the bee episode though (must avoid).

Don’t watch it Private! I must have watched it over 40 years ago and it’s stayed with me all of that time!

Is anyone watching the tennis?

Looks like Novak’s going to win - he’s a break up in the second set.

I think he has it in the bag now.

I've got half an eye on the tennis. DH is watching a film on TV - the one where Tom Hanks goes to Russia to exchange prisoners or something

Bridge of Spies - it's good, I've seen it before but it's one of those films where you need to concentrate (which I'm not).

Yes looking like Novak - it hasn't been v exciting.

It's looking that way.

Now, the last time Novak won something that he had tried umpteen times to win, (RG), it seemed to mess with his head, and he went into a bit of a decline...

I love Bridge of Spies- but it makes me feel old, because I saw Mark Rylance play Hamlet in 1988 (in his pyjamas). I had a massive crush on him then.

Bridge of spies Private? My DH is watching that upstairs.

So Djokovic has won - Roger definitely wasn’t at his best but well done to Novak.

Yes good point Raahh! I wonder if this will be the same scenario...

He seems more content now though Raahh. It must be an amazing feeling to have won them all.
