TENNIS THREAD - hotdogs and weed, it must be the US Open

[ChessieFL]

I managed to close off the last thread without realising and couldn’t see a new one, so here you go!

I’ve just switched on - I’m feeling a bit meh about this final

DH just asked me if I like any other tennis players than Lendl and Rafa

I saw that Rafa was at the F1

I’ve got my bingo card ready

I too am multitasking
watching tennis on tv
and showjumping from spruce meadows on iPad
love simple minds too, going to watch it later
i had the pleasure of meeting the band, many moons ago
and took them horse riding .
a memory I shall never forget 💖

Ben missed all his chances in that game

That sounds like a fun outing librauk

Very jealous librauk! How long ago? Original band? I loved Mick McNeil and Charlie was beautiful!!

Yes, it was the original band , early 80’s , only one that wasn’t there was Jim.
they had been finishing off New gold dream, at a recording studio
and spent the day,at the estate I worked at .
no evidence as I said, only the memory of the day .

Covid! 2020! Dom Thiem!

I must have a full house by now.

I saw Simple Minds a few years ago. I don’t know where they get the energy for endless touring. The women who are with the band now are amazing.

Come on Ben let’s win the tiebreak

Yes, the drummer is fantastic. I've loved them (and U2) for 40 odd years. Saw Simple Minds last summer and my achilles tendon have been buggered ever since from bopping up and down I'm not as fit or flexible as Jim Kerr

Sorry ice is there a tennis match going on?

As finals go, it's a bit dull .

I bet Robbie is counting the bounces

This is a disappointing match. What’s the point of beating Carlos if he’s going to fold
like a cheap deckchair in the final?

Score watching and have to admit, I'm surprised at the score.
But Don't You Forget About Me is currently playing, so I really couldn't care less about the tennis

Exactly!

That’s the only Simple Minds song I know. Please don’t shoot

When I went to see them DS1 couldn’t understand why they were playing in a packed out stadium

You can go off people ice
Now finishing with Alive and Kicking. You must know that one

I've hauled DS along to see them twice Jane

Just makes me think of 'The Breakfast Club'

I’m not really a Simple Minds fan but at the minute I’m more engaged in them than in this match

Come on Ben!

Oh he didn’t come with me!

This is now the Simple Minds thread
