When Claire said he looked like a warrior I thought he’s more Adam Ant than William Wallace Grin

I mean, he's no Prince Charming...

Grin

How sunny can it be at 5 o’clock that you need that much sunscreen?

Raahh · 08/07/2025 17:09

As much as they would like to think this is going to be a partisan crowd, Carlos is extremely popular.

JaneJeffer · 08/07/2025 17:10

See I knew Andrew would be there

IceandIndigo · 08/07/2025 17:10

I have to go out for a bit, but Vamos Carlos!

I remember that match where Cam beat Carlos on clay, it was in South America and Carlos had an injury and couldn't run.

Raahh · 08/07/2025 17:11

Jane maybe he's hiding a really big zit.

FFS- they let AC back in.

JaneJeffer · 08/07/2025 17:12

AC knows the Cam bio off by heart so it saves anyone else from having to learn it

We will hear about Cam beating RBA- on clay- soon too probably. (Although RBA is not a clay specialist).

Because AC has very little else to say about him.

To be fair to him, he did grow up in NZ. Kiwis are very sun smart, because we have no ozone layer. I've been in Britain for 20 years and still won't let my kids leave the house without a good slip, slop, slap.

Raahh · 08/07/2025 17:14

Jane that is true.

As soon as there is a lull, we will get his whole back story.
Even Norrie's own family don't know Norrie's back story as well as AC.

JaneJeffer · 08/07/2025 17:23

The way Andrew said aargh was very funny

JaneJeffer · 08/07/2025 17:24

Tim’s daughter can’t get onto his hill? Disgraceful!

Fizzywinegum · 08/07/2025 17:28

I thought that Cam was giving off Adam Ant vibes (but nowhere near as good looking)

Here we go …

Yes Tim’s daughter should say do you know who my Dad is (they’d probably say no Grin)

Mac is still sticking with the Nori pronunciation!

How is Tim’s daughter old enough to have her own grounds tickets?! He’s a Club member and can’t get her seated tickets ?!

Raahh · 08/07/2025 17:34

Suppose it depends which daughter is it- I think he has 3- the oldest is the same age as my oldest, so about 22.

Fizzywinegum · 08/07/2025 17:35

Careful now Andrew! And it’s Ian McKellen not Mckallan!

Yeah' 'Tim Who? ' oh, you mean the foreman.

JaneJeffer · 08/07/2025 17:38

Vamos!

'The Grand slams, as we call them'

Is this tennis for dummies night, courtesy of AC?

JaneJeffer · 08/07/2025 17:51

Bloody cheek not putting Queen Sue in the royal box

Fizzywinegum · 08/07/2025 17:54

Come back Sue! Show them how it’s done!

Alcaraz is on fire - Norrie doesn’t quite know what to do

JaneJeffer · 08/07/2025 18:01

Here we go

Raahh · 08/07/2025 18:01

He's off, Jane...

JaneJeffer · 08/07/2025 18:02

The sky is a beautiful shade of blue (going off on AC ramble)
