I was just thinking about L’Eau d’Henri yesterday Spidey when they were talking about him on the Tennis Podcast Grin

I think I would have to invite Rafa because he’s so cute - Goran and Stan would be good (he can bring the lasagne and red wine!). I think Martina would be interesting. Mac would probably take over the conversation and I would be worried about what Boris was doing in the cupboard Grin

I would not invite Djok!

JaneJeffer · 17/04/2020 16:04

I'd like Mary Carillo at the party too. She'd be hilarious.

I like Father Brown as well because it's so far fetched and easy to watch. DS1 does not like when I put it on however!

Mary Carrillo is in the Tennis Podcast sometimes Jane - she is very entertaining and I think would be good fun.

I’ve not yet succumbed to the pleasures of Father Brown Smile

For an interesting dinner party I'd have Andy Murray, Mansour Bharami & Ons Jabur.

For 'phwooar' I'd have Goran, Delpo, Borg & Lopez!

Got all I wanted in the butchers & no queue.

kazzaD66 · 17/04/2020 17:30

Aahh....the unmistakable scent of a fine French cognac, a Cuban cigar and a certain je ne sais quois.....it's L'Eau d'Henri Grin

Henri and Mansour would be excellent raconteurs, Andy would bring the dry wit, Stan would bring the food and vino, the delectable Stefan would be delectable and Mac would have a story or six to tell (but might be difficult to shut up!). Grin
Yes, I know that's more than four Wink

I quite like Father Brown aswell Smile

I've just walked to the pharmacy - it is the first time I have been out 'out' other than walking the dog - it felt very strange. There are too many people around. And today, there seems to be a lot of air traffic ( I live less than 2 miles from Manchester Airport- walk past the end of the runway every day), it has been very quiet apart from helicopters for days. The last couple of days I've heard a number of planes. It is strange.

Magi I think you would need Andy and his mum at your dinner party. I think I could sit and listen to them for hours Grin.

Raahh · 17/04/2020 17:35

Now, Stefan would certainly bring the eye candy (he could leave Annette at home Wink) - but I'm not a fan of Swedish food.

No-one has invited AC yet, Winkfor some exciting wildlife themed/food commentary?

I saw a lot of butterflies on my walk to the pharmacy, btw. They seem very small this year.

Fizzywinegum · 17/04/2020 18:20

You can invite AC to your dinner party Raahh - I’m sure he’d be able to tell you why the butterflies are small this year and the bees are so big Grin

Raahh · 17/04/2020 18:31

Fizzy I might have to Grin. He will have to stay fully clothed though.

Fizzywinegum · 17/04/2020 18:37

Shock Grin kazza will be having nightmares!

Remember your promise magi - no pics of AC until this is all over(and preferably none when it is all over!)

I've just seen the Laver Cup in Boston has been moved to 2021.

Bet Roger is pleased.

kazzaD66 · 17/04/2020 20:16

Not on a mobile phone, no Jane Grin

Strange no one has mentioned the butterfly fancier for a dinner party guest (apart from Raahh Hmm
Nor Federer Grin

Raahh · 17/04/2020 20:19

I would not want Fed at my dinner party. He would bore me. And want monogrammed tableware. Grin. Sorry Roger.

Raahh · 17/04/2020 20:21

Are you not inviting Dan Evans Kazza- or are you worried about the dress code? Grin

Speaking of which- Bethanie MS would be a fun guest, if only for her dress sense!

PrivateSpidey · 17/04/2020 20:35

Did anyone see the Murray/Djok chat earlier? It was brilliant - Andy is so funny. But it was really interesting as well.

kazzaD66 · 17/04/2020 22:20

No Raahh
I've said it before, I love Dan's style of play and I admire what he has achieved since he came back from being a prat, but I'm not sure he's the most enigmatic or sharpest tool in the box. No offence Dan Confused

Private where can I find this Andy / Djok chat?

magimedi · 17/04/2020 22:38

Remember your promise magi - no pics of AC until this is all over(and preferably none when it is all over!)

I never renege on a promise.

But I will be celebrating the end of all this with some EXTRA special pictures!! Grin

PrivateSpidey · 17/04/2020 22:41

On Andy's Instagram stories kazza

Well worth a look. They were talking about lockdown - and answering questions about tennis, eg which result would you most want to change, saying who their perfect player would be etc (choosing best serve, forehand, backhand etc). Djok was v chatty Grin

It was lovely Smile

JaneJeffer · 17/04/2020 22:42

Celebrating? I can think of better celebrations Grin

I just saw a clip of the chat where they were discussing Stan's infamous shorts.

OP posts:
PrivateSpidey · 17/04/2020 22:55

Yes Grin

And they were talking about Rafa as a junior and how he was just the same then as he is now Smile

Raahh · 18/04/2020 11:47

I saw a bit of the chat, and the thing that struck me was Novak looks less gaunt than he has looked earlier in the year. Lockdown suits himGrin.

PrivateSpidey · 18/04/2020 15:40

Now I'm watching Djok and Stan chatting Grin

We need Rafa to do one of these chats. Maybe with Fed?!

PrivateSpidey · 18/04/2020 15:41

Yes you're right Raahh! I thought he looked a bit different but I thought it was his hair.

Fizzywinegum · 18/04/2020 16:18

Maybe Stan’s been tempting Djok with the red wine and burgers - maybe Djok’s finally seen the light and realised there’s more to life than green juices Grin

These chats sound good - are they still available to watch afterwards does anybody know?

I’d love to watch Rafa and Rog having a natter Smile
