Joe McElderry!

Whatever happened to him?

I miss X Factor Sad.

JaneJeffer · 26/02/2025 18:25

He was on Robson Green's Weekend Escapes programme recently looking more chubby than previously!

Raahh · 26/02/2025 18:28

I suppose it's quite a while ago now. I'm in denial.

JaneJeffer · 26/02/2025 18:33

Me too 😭

ChessieFL · 26/02/2025 18:51

Joe McElderry is in musicals now! He’s playing Pharoah in Joseph

Raahh · 26/02/2025 18:57

He was always very 'musical theatre' Chessie so that makes sense. I remember him winning the Opera show he was on (or have I made that up?).

Had to double check I was on the right thread!
Yep, it's the tennis thread HmmConfusedGrin

JaneJeffer · 26/02/2025 23:23

I prefer to think of it as the whatever comes into my head thread Grin

The purple and grey court in Merida is so soothing to look at.

Raahh · 27/02/2025 07:45

We love to derail our own threadGrin. I do often use it just to waffle.
Casper had stomach issues and withdrew from his match in Acapulco- I'm beginning to wonder what these players eat.

Need to stick to pasta- worked for Rafa.

Raahh · 27/02/2025 07:51

Sascha also lost in Acapulco- and they were the top seeds. And Holger also withdrew. Maybe he had what Casper had.

It means Tomas Machac of the Short shorts is the highest ranked player left over there( I think).

Raahh · 27/02/2025 07:53

( I think Holger retired during the matchvwith continuing knee problems, a worry going into the bigger tournaments, unless he just doesn't want to risk making it worse).

Raahh · 27/02/2025 07:55

Actually it was food poisoning- don't know why I thought it was his knee!

kazzaD66 · 27/02/2025 08:15

I think I remember Jamie Murray having to withdraw from a tournament after having a dodgy oyster or something and Judy was like.....what were you thinking, eating oysters, idiot!!! Grin

ChessieFL · 27/02/2025 09:13

Surely everyone knows you stay away from anything seafoody before any vitally important event?!

Raahh · 27/02/2025 10:12

I know! They have teams of people around them -they must have someone who advises them on diet. And what not to eat abroad. (Though, you know, common sense...)

Surely Holger's mum tests everything first Grin.

Marin playing Felix AA. The field in Dubai is as open as Acapulco, with all the upsets. Not of the stomach kind there, though.

Raahh · 27/02/2025 11:45

I set all for Marin and Felix- come on Marin!

Raahh · 27/02/2025 12:12

Felix has stepped it up this set. I don't mind him winning, but it wouls have really helped Marin to get the points (I think he has now run out of tournaments he can get into via protected ranking0.

Raahh · 27/02/2025 12:56

Well done Felix. Shame for Marin, but some really positive play this week.

Fizzywinegum · 27/02/2025 13:19

I like the idea of this thread being a whatever comes into my head thread Grin

Good to see Marin back (for a bit anyway)

Sascha is not having a good time in South America - I remember Lerner from the AO - he was a fun watch

There do seem to be a lot of upset stomachs in the tennis world (even when the Phantom Poisoner is not around!) - I would definitely steer clear of the seafood!

I'm hoping to watch the Stef/Matteo match later (depending on the whims of Sky)

JaneJeffer · 27/02/2025 16:59

What the fuck is happening?

Raahh · 27/02/2025 17:07

I think Daniil was angry at losing the set (he ought to have won the match)- not sure what he is supposed to have said. This umpire seems a bit grumpy anyway.

So Daniil will either come back fighting, or will have lost his head totally.

He needs to have words with Andrey.

Raahh · 27/02/2025 17:11

I wish Daniil's pocket /the ball in it, was in a different position. Not to mention the fact he keeps touching it.

Raahh · 27/02/2025 17:55

Well done to Tallon- it really should have been Daniil's match to be honest, he played very well for most of it.

JaneJeffer · 27/02/2025 18:19

Raahh I didn't notice the ball manhandling Grin

Isn't he the umpire who had a heart attack? He should just chill out and ignore Daniil's ramblings.

I went out with the dog and came back to a very pretty match indeed.
