Ooh - would love to see Rublev as a contender for RG! He's in a good bit of the draw. Did you see his celebration after the Querrey match - bless him.

Stef looks like he has perked up a lot but this could probably still go either way...

I love the sound of the giant blue dinosaur toy - sounds like something Stan would approve of!

Raahh · 29/09/2020 19:51

The dinosaur is amazing. It is HUGE.

I think my mother grew quite attached. I might have to get her one for Christmas.

Rublev has been slowly improving again (he was always good, but got injured). I think it would be great if he pushed for the top spot. The Russians have been slowly taking over a bit.

I do feel for Medvedev though- he skipped the US because he felt it wasn't safe to travel, missed out on the hard court matches he would have stood a better chance at. And then lost early at RG.

Oh dear God!
Just put Stefanos on and already I want to shoot Courier Angry
Maybe this is why I haven't watched any tennis since Sunday Hmm

Loving some of the non-tennis chat today Grin

Best wishes to you and your DD Raahh Flowers
Plus the Jurassic Park gang at Chez Raahh Grin

I see the Brits have finally started to win Hmm
Murray and Skupski, plus Norrie all winning in the doubles limply waves a Union Jack

Ooh, has Stefanos finally woken up?

Raahh · 29/09/2020 19:58

Thanks Kazza . I am worried- mainly because the current situation is making the whole thing a bit faffy- but I will be glad to get her sorted. She needs it.

Jurassic Park is one of our favourite films. We watch it a lot. It's a good thing I never really grew out of my own dinosaur obsession (age 6).

Raahh · 29/09/2020 19:59

Well, I have promised I will watch Bake Off.

So Stef is on his own now. Grin

kazzaD66 · 29/09/2020 20:02

Stef has just won Raahh
Enjoy GBBO Grin

Raahh · 29/09/2020 20:06

oh good- wel done Stef.

Have to better than that to beat Djok.

kazzaD66 · 29/09/2020 20:07

Sorry! Who on earth is the woman voicing the Viking River Cruise advert? Is she for real or taking the mickey?! Her voice and enunciation are completely OTT Grin

Raahh · 29/09/2020 20:08

Oh, I remember that advert. Grin

It's really bad.

kazzaD66 · 29/09/2020 20:14

It really sounds like a p* taking comedy sketch. I almost choked on my coffee mid gulp Grin

I didn't recognise Gilles Simon without his beard!

PrivateSpidey · 29/09/2020 20:50

Viking River Cruise (which incidentally, my phone predicted immediately Hmm) ads are always on during Midsomer Murders, but I've never noticed the voice before - will listen out for it Grin

JaneJeffer · 29/09/2020 20:54

Private Peter Davison is on BBC1 at 9. New series with Alison Steadman.

oof. DD1 is out of isolation and back to school tomorrow.

Honestly, all this is not helping anyone get into a routine. They nearly sent all the year 8s home today, because the were told (wrongly) that one had a positive test.

I think I will stick to watching tennis players in dubious outfits. Less stressful.

Fizzywinegum · 29/09/2020 21:39

The Viking cruises woman sounds almost orgasmic about the culture and the food - are people even allowed to go on cruises these days? Hmm

Luckily Stef finished just as GBBO was about to start - I think he had a bit of a lucky escape and felt a bit sorry for Munar

On another thread someone said that Dave from GBBO looked like Tim Henman - he’s does a bit. I’m not too keen on him (Dave not Tim)

The blue dinosaur sounds good Raahh Smile

Thanks Jane

I can always rely on you for PD updates Grin

I've only just seen your post so will catch it on iPlayer.

JaneJeffer · 30/09/2020 11:10

Ooh Serena pulled out!

OP posts:
Raahh · 30/09/2020 11:15

Jane I was just coming on to say that !

It looks like I might have to go out, so I could some of Rafa's match.

I wanted them to show the Stan match Sad

Raahh · 30/09/2020 11:19

On the Serena subject though (not that I expected her to win RG to be honest)- it will drag out the '24 Slams' conversation for even longer.

As Elsa says. Let it go.

Grin.

JaneJeffer · 30/09/2020 11:32

"I had her on the grass at Eastbourne" tell us more Sam.

Raahh · 30/09/2020 11:32

I've discovered Eurosport2 are showing the Stan match . Which is nice. He is a set up.

Raahh · 30/09/2020 11:32

Jane

Fizzywinegum · 30/09/2020 11:37

Ooh why has serena pulled out? Does that mean Rafa is on next? I’m working from home today so might be able to see some of his match

Raahh · 30/09/2020 11:37

They mentioned her achilles (I think).

JaneJeffer · 30/09/2020 11:39

I think he's on next Fizzy

Stan is playing really well.
