Looks like the old thread is ending and I had a Jannik-panic Grin.

Currently cooking dinner, listening to Pick of the Pops. 1982!! DH keeps saying at the start of every song....I can't believe this is 1982!!Grin Yazoo, Only You just played!

I loved 'Only You'.

And the Flying Pickets version .

I do not want to watch Djok.

I think I will stick to my ER re-watch Grin.

Might watch Taylor Fritz- he's in a tough match.

DH and I watched the first one of the Kylie documentary on Netflix last night and then he saw ER was on Netflix, so we ended up watching the first episode. God, I loved ER!!

ChessieFL · 24/05/2026 19:47

Oh, I love the Flying Pickets version!

I am watching Djok but might stop watching if it looks like he might win.

Come on GMP!

Raahh · 24/05/2026 19:56

Looks like Fritz is going to lose in the first round again .
Well done to Basavareddy.

I started re-watching it (after watching Noah Wyle in 'The Pitt) and am now on series 12 Grin.

It was my favourite show ever.

Chessie that's usually how I feel- I'm not really a fan of GMP at all.
But

Raahh An old school friend lived in the US and said I must watch ER when it came to the UK. Last night, there were moments with Mark, Carter and Benton when I shouted...they're in the opening credits!! 32 years later and I still remember! Fantastic show and so ahead of it's time when it first aired.

JaneJeffer · 24/05/2026 20:14

Oh I loved John Carter Grin

score watching Djok - very tight match so far

kazzaD66 · 24/05/2026 20:14

I also loved The West Wing.
How different the world would be if Jed Bartlett was President rather than the current fuckwit incumbent. Yes, I know JB is fictional Grin

ChessieFL · 24/05/2026 20:15

This match is a bit boring so far - just going with serve. Although GMP has a chance to break…

kazzaD66 · 24/05/2026 20:15

I also loved Kovac (back to ER!). He was a mash up of Doug and Carter Grin

ChessieFL · 24/05/2026 20:20

GMP has won the first set!

JaneJeffer · 24/05/2026 20:20

Come on GMP!

Raahh · 24/05/2026 20:23

ER is more interesting than the match (although GMP has broken ) Grin

I loved Kovac. He went through phases of being a bit annoying, but he was /is gorgeous

I never got the Clooney 'love' . re-watching, I get that as an unknown actor he was decent but after ER, I found him really meh, (I am on my own there, I thinkGrin)- Dh made me watch Solaris which is the dullest film ever. I got my own back, and made Dh watch Mamma Mia! on dvd with me, even though even I had already seen it and found it cringy and I love Abba Grin

Noah Wyle (Carter ) is the same age as me, give or take a couple of months.

He's aged better Grin.

Come on GMP.

You can be my new favourite player, if you win.

for a few hours

6ft 8 is exactly 2 ft taller than I am.

That is ridiculous.

I mean, I'm short but pfft.

kazzaD66 · 24/05/2026 20:36

Grin small but perfectly formed, I'm sure, Raahh

I remember the whole Kovac/Carol, Kovac, Susan, Carter, Abby romantic shenanigans. Wasn't there one episode that was solely the latter four in one room, with lots of tension???

You can tell I haven't got TNT! Not that I'd watch Djok anyway.

Raahh · 24/05/2026 20:45

At the moment I'm feeling a bit Queen Victoria, about as wide as I am tall. Grin

kazza= yes- there was an episode that was based on The Breakfast Club with the 4 of them (plus Gallant ) in a room - because one of them had put a sex toy in Kerry Weaver's locker. Grin. It was very silly.

Ha ha loving the ER chat Grin - I always had a soft spot for Carter (Noah) - I was also never really a George Clooney fan - we are also watching The Pitt but it is quite stressful!

Just catching up on the scores - not a good day for Emma but we’ll done Fran - come on GMP - I’m also not really a fan of his thunderous serves and not much emotion but I’ll be happy if he beats Djok

Raahh · 24/05/2026 20:47

GMP is holding his own. Ordinarily, big serving/big hitting is boring. But I make allowances.

OP posts:
Raahh · 24/05/2026 20:49

Djok usually wear a shade of red or green- he appears to be trying to blend in
with the court.

I wish he would disappear.

Raahh · 24/05/2026 20:53

Fizzy the Pitt is excellent. So many great characters.

I've just watched an episode of ER with Ray Liotta, which, like The Pitt was also filmed in real time. I'd forgotten how good that one was.
