Tennis thread: looking forward to the new season

[PrivateSpidey]

While we dream up our Australian Open advent calendar, the chat continues!

I'm not allowed to mention the football. apparently Man Utd lost badly. I thought dh was strangely quiet.

I'd be up for a sport where drinking was allowed.but I am too short to play both snooker and darts. The drinking bit I can manage.

And Love Actually is a CLASSIC, honestly.

unrepentant

There's no beer nowadays

I can also do the drinking Raahh it’s the sport I’m not very good at

NO beer!

Well, that's a blow.

I take it the Murray documentary hasn't made it through all the Christmas films to the top of your viewing pile yet Raahh ?

What is Stan up to now?

DH was watching Love Actually the other week - it still gave me the rage

I thought that the booze and fags would be out now Jane - them were the days!

I think it’s something to do with cryogenics (?) kazza - he doesn’t want his nipples to fall off

There is snow and a snowman in the documentary, if it helps Raahh

An understandable worry fizzy

Cryotherapy!

Yes the Andy Murray documentary is an ideal Christmas watch (just avert your eyes at the surgery scenes - the surgeon is almost wearing full body armour )

No,I still can't brong myself to watch the Murray documentary.

I mean, it would be hypocritical. I was excited about his retirement.

Eh? Stan is freezing his nipples

Or not.

Had to look at Stan's instagram for myself! I'm assuming he's protecting other bits of him from falling off in the cryotherapy chamber

Could that really happen or was he just making a joke?!? I can't tell

I’d not thought about that kazza - Stan isn’t usually so shy and retiring!

Poor Stan. Must be hard, protecting his Dad Bod.

The Dad Bod still looks in pretty good shape - he can’t have started on the mince pies yet!

I forgot about the Dad Bod report

I am hoping he is good shape for Melbourne.

Creased shirts, and all.

Same. Come on Stan!!

I just want to see one more tournament (at least) where he goes full Stanimal again.

Yes I would like to see full on Stanimal as well Spidey - hope it’s not going to be too hot for them all in Australia.

As predicted the Christmas meat is huge, I’ve just tried to bring the garden table in from outside and can’t get it through the door (I’m sure we’ve used it as part of the Christmas table before )

Feeling a bit festively frazzled This is when I wish I really did live in Downton Abbey - I need Mrs Patmore, Carson and a banqueting room
