Tennis: Finding our feet on the grass!

[Fizzywinegum]

New thread!

He's just so lovely and fun I wish Johnny Marr had joined them seeing as he was around. I'm sure Morrissey is sulking somewhere

Yes I noticed Johnny Marr didn’t join them! Morrissey is probably being an old grump somewhere! Rick’s having the best time of his life - he’s just had a snifter

Re showers at Glastonbury - I live not too far away from there and last year on the day after it finished I had to get a train for work purposes, and the train stopped at Castle Cary (which is the nearest station to the festival). The train was lovely and quiet until then but from CC onwards it was rammed, but the worst thing was that the whole train absolutely stank! It was awful. A combination of unwashed people and damp tents. On the plus side, although it was really noisy for about twenty minutes they all conked out after that so at least it was quiet again and I just spent the rest of the journey with my cardigan over my nose.

Luckily I haven’t had to travel this year!

Maybe they should all be hosed down on their way out of Glastonbury Chessie or made to go through a sort of human sheep dip

I’m hoping to see a bit of tennis today - maybe the Wimbledon qualies - not sure who’s in the Bournemouth draw

*Eastbourne! I thought that Bournemouth sounded wrong when I was typing it!

Human sheep dip sounds a good plan Fizzy

Sheep dip
I saw a few bits of the Glastonbury coverage, but not much. I thought about watching Elton, and fell asleep, but by all accounts he was very good. I'm not a massive fan of many of his songs, but I appreciate someone who can put on a performance.

Etcheverry/ Wolf just starting at Eastbourne, which is on Prime and I wasn't sure if it would be. Wolf looking very mullet-y, and a daft sunblock stripe (I assume) across his nose.
He is no Adam Ant.

JJ is such a dude Raahh he's like a character from an 80's film

Jane we've just been discussing that JJ looks like one of the cast of Stranger Things.

This first game is taking ages!

Who's the Aussie commentating with AC on the RB? She's funny.

AC texting people in the crowd to find out who other people are 😂

The sound quality is still dodgy

Aargh he just said who it is but I couldn't hear because DS2 is belting out music in the kitchen

AC is bonkers.

Well done James

I can't get qualifying to work on my tv (but can on my laptop)-wich bodes well for Wimbledon...

Managed to find it.

In time for the match to finsh. So, no idea who the Australian woman was!

She actually came on talking to Inverdale and I missed her introduction again! Can't rewind my RB channel

There are a couple of Australians listed on the commentary list for Wimbledon - Louise Pleming and Liz Smylie- maybe it's one of them

Oh I think it's Louise Pleming thanks Raahh

I wish they'd put the names up every so often

Jane I always wish they would put the names up- at the end of set maybe. Would be nice to know who some of the less recognisable ones are.

(And also know who to avoid in future ).

It's definitely Louise Pleming because I thought Inverdale said Peter Fleming when he was handing over to commentary now. Think I need to get my ears checked

AC is now discussing socks.

I think he needs a hobby.
