Tennis: US Open - hoping for a happy ending

[JaneJeffer]

I have to do everything myself around here

Ben has levelled the match- seems unhappy about something, but I'm not sure what.

Tiebreak time

Both getting a bit shouty now- for different reasons..

Well done Ben

Well done Ben- though he seems a bit subdued.

Taro put up a good match.

Wasn't able to watch the Casper match, but he won it, which is good.

I've just got in after going for my covid jab.
Casper is not having a good day today- just lost the first set to Giron.

. Casper had a break in the second set, and now Giron is serving for the match.

At this rate, after being a finalist last year, Casper isn't going to make it to Turin.

Ahead of myself Casper serving to level at 5-5 all- still not going too well

Right first time- Giron has taken the match.

Ahh well.

Ben up later.

Tie break for Ben and Jordan Porn Tache (who has both tache and beard now)

DS2 came home with a very mullety hair cut last week. I said next thing you'll have a tache. He said I'm not an Australian

Well done Ben

Well done Ben.

I watched Doctors so missed the end. I have found out that it is being axed. It is a sad day.

Oh no Raahh you will have to find a replacement

Nothing will ever be as rubbish as Doctors. It is quite unique. .

They will fill the slot with repeats of rubbish quiz shows, probably, and people making stuff out of rubbish from tips. .

I've never seen Doctors Raahh but* *have just seen the news of it's cancellation and immediately came on here to tell you but you already know! On a positive note, The Wombles are returning (although the new lot will probably be crap, so maybe not that positive )

Very funny about your DS Jane

The Wombles! Kazza !

No doubt they will be in dodgy computer/cgi graphics, like when they redid Fireman Sam.

And I bet they will change the names- to something random and newfangled.

<grumpy>

Oh no Raahh sorry about Doctors - I did watch it a very long time ago (but think it has got more weird with painting cats )

Yay Wombles - did anyone else think they were singing about being common but they just lived on Wimbledon common!

Doctors really never got any better, and we spend most of the time watching it, moaning about it- but that doesn't mean they can cancel it, damnit!

When I was little, my sister had a Wombes lp (which I still have in a box upstairs). The song 'Remember you're a Womble' has always made me wonder how any one would forget they were a Womble.

But yes, I did also wonder if they were common .

yes, it's the pause between Wimbledon and common are we They'll probably have one who is non binary or some shit now.

Frankly, 2024 is shaping up to be pants.

No tennis on Prime.
Rafa retiring (probably)
Shit Wombles.

Pfft.

Oh yes Jane- that Orinocco - he always looked the type to borrow Mme Cholet's apron.

Won't be the same with out Bernard Cribbins. .

Yep, exactly.
The Wombles of Wimbledon. Common are we!
I had a Wellington PJs case and my brother had an Orinocco one. Why we couldn't just put our PJs under our pillow, I don't know

I remember pyjama cases being a big thing back in the day kazza

One of my (strange) friends still has some Wombles!
