TENNIS - high on a mountain in Torino the season comes to a close

[JaneJeffer]

Well I can post the others if you like (which are no better)

The jacket in the first picture! Looks like he’s wearing a Turkish carpet.

It's really annoying me trying to think of the singer!

There's a bit of Craig McLachlan look about Casper- but then I think he looks like someone else as well.

or the one in A-ha that isn't Morten or Paul.

Magne?

it's a very 80s leather /denim look. . Domi must be jealous.

It's certainly more Magne than the other two. Did you see that film about A-Ha last year? Quite brutal, especially given they made it themselves.

NO! NO!NO! 70's & late 60's rule!!

OK Boomer

Evening magi

This is the guy I was thinking of from Cutting Crew. I had to google 80's one hit wonders. I hate that song!

Domi must be jealous

Oh, I like that song Jane
I served him when I worked as a Saturday girl in Boots, on the No7 counter. Probably about 1983/84/85?? He bought some makeup. He was very polite.

I love the way these threads go sometimes.

I ended up with 'Died in your arms...' stuck on a loop in my head in the early hours of the morning. Which morphed into Breathe 'Hands to Heaven' about an hour ago (Nothing alike, not sure why).

kazza that's a claim to fame. During my time at the record shop/airport- I served a lot of 'famous' ish people- from half the Corrie cast, to David Beckham., - quite a few footballers (most of them I didn't recognise). One of my bosses was very excited by Joey Elliot from Def Leppard. Neil Sedaka in a hair piece very early one morning, was funny.

They were usually on their way to interviews for things like 'This Morning'.

Yep Raahh I* *had Died in your Arms Tonight in my head aswell last night. And now it's back there this morning!

I also served the Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies, who lived locally at that time. She wasn't polite. In fact, she was very rude and clearly thought a lot of herself!

Nothing on a par to your claims to fame, although I did stay in the same hotel as the Man Utd team 20 odd years ago, Alex Ferguson is quite small
And Gordon Ramsay apologised for nearly knocking me over in a hotel corridor

I’m obviously not moving in the right circles!

I served Jennifer Saunders - one of the rudest customers I've ever had!

kazza inthe 90s, the Man Utd team used to come through the shop quite a bit. (I famously told Beckham that Boots sold cheaper batteries- was never allowed to live that one down).

We had a very young work experience girl who nearly fainted on the spot when Ryan Giggs walked in.

I was always disappointed when the ones you think are going to be nice, turned out quite rude. (Corrie actors usually). One of the nicest customers we had was Bill Beaumont -he would have been filming QoS at the time, I expect.

Morrissey was very quiet- and bought 'Never Mind the Bollocks' on cassette.

Used to love Bill and Emlyn on QoS

kazza I loved Emlyn- the Emlyn /Bill years were vintage QoS. I have watched it about twice since Sue left- which twice too many- and enough to show me they've ruined the show, really, which is sad.

I used to like Ally McCoist and the twinkle in his eye John Parrott was fine aswell. I also think Matt and Tuffers were good together, with Sue the three of them were great. I certainly haven't watched the new iteration and have no intention of doing so. You don't even need to be a sportsperson to go on it these days!!

kazza that does seem to be the direction it's taken, more general entertainment, and tying in with other shows- than sticking with the old 'formula'. Anton Du Beke featured in an episode I 'watched'. I like Anton- he did better than some of the sports stars- but I'm not sure why he was there (it was probably a Strictly tie in- and I guess if ice dancing counts as sport, why not ballroom?).

It's a shame- I'm not really very 'sporty' but I used to love watching it.

Sometimes, I think shows should be allowed to fade away. I'm not sure the audience is there anymore.

Waves valiantly - WTF have you all gone?

Hello magi 👋 we need a new thread

Hello magi - hope all is well with you

I think Raahh and Jane were otherwise engaged on the Brits thread last night - I was watching but didn’t have the energy to post - I do like Wet leg though

I don’t think that much tennis has been happening in the last few weeks? Is Indian Wells due to start soon - I seem to have lost track of the tennis

There were some nice pictures of Felix visiting the Rafa museum - maybe this year I’ll finally get to visit (and hopefully see Rafa and Felix )
