Tennis Thread: Countdown to the Return of Delpo at a Very Specific Time

[JaneJeffer]

New thread for February. Happy St. Brigid's Day everyone

it is a funny logo- looks like an ant.

Good result for the GB team yesterday, fingers crossed it continues today!

Psssttt! It's me, Private
I've name changed and stuff after this data breach! Thought I'd give you the secret signal the it's me!

The Fed Cup looks good, with all the different teams competing at one venue. I wonder if they're getting a big crowd? The Beeb has missed a bit of a trick by not showing it haven't they - they were talking about it on BBC Breakfast this morning and saying how great we've finally got a tie in this country etc - but it's only being shown on bt sport

Raahh did they manage to fix your TV??

It is frustrating. I can't help thinking if it was the men in a Davis cup tie in the UK, it would be a different story.

Private I needed a new tivo box. And it was fitted by the world's chattiest engineer, who I now know all about .

It was very funny.

He sounds like he'd get on well with AC!
Glad it's sorted, and I hope you didn't lose your Tales of the Unexpected!!

I remembered earlier that Amazon prime is showing ATP tournaments - just watching a bit of Montpellier. Some thread faves (Shaggy, Ernests) are taking part. They had a power cut earliand Ernests and his opponent were sitting in the dark!

Just watching Pierre-Hugues Herbert looking a bit 80s in a shirt with a black swirly pattern. Good volleying though...

sadly, Private everything I had recorded is no more.

But thank you- you've reminded me to re-do the series link for TOTU.

Oh what a PITA Raahh - sorry to hear you lost your recordings. But yes thank goodness for series link!!

--I'd be gutted if that happened to me - I live in fear of losing all my Miss Marple episodes!

Miss Marple!

DD2 is devastated that all the Hey Duggee episodes, and Horrible History ones have gone.

It's a sad time

My main problem, is I can't remember half the things I had set up for recording!

Ah bless her. Hopefully some episodes will be repeated soon. My DS would be the same about his Scooby Doo recordings!!

Hey at least you'll have loads of space to record stuff now though - our sky Box is permanently at between 2-5% remaining!! mostly because of bloody rugby matches Living on the edge!

Btw Gulbis lost - I guess playing in the dark can do that to you but Shaggy won. I missed the end of PHH's match so not sure of the outcome.

Private mine is like that when I can record the tennis.

I had 2 weeks worth of the Aussie open recorded. .
It filled up the memory very quickly.

It might have killed the box

Poor Gulbis.

I love him.

Shaggy seems to have a new hair do (on the pictures I've seen), but he might not, might just be I'm used to seeing him with a hat.

Chef Delpo

I see Boris is giving a talk at Oxford. That should be educational

Love the Delpo picture- no jumper, though

Boris at Oxford, I'd love to see that!

Disappointed Delpo isn't wearing a big white chef's hat.

What the hell is Boris giving a talk on? I can think of a few topics he might be qualified for but not sure they should be discussed

Another late night in Bath, another good result for GB. Fingers crossed for today

Kazza I know - disappointing from Delpo. He could have at least brandished a frying pan like a racquet. Honestly!!

Some tough matches today in Fed Cup.

I've been doing a bit of score checking and Tsitsipas has lost the first set to Monfils.

I just saw that Monfils won. Bit of an unexpected result. Also Bedene the former Brit beat Foggy in Cordoba I guess Fabio must have been having an off day!!
