Off Topic The Politics Thread

Good, Amazon have done the right thing here

 

Everyone is now a tennis fan

 

I’m still not if that helps.

 

Nor me. I’m off to see the Specials tonight.

She seems to be a nice, well spoken young lady though and good luck to her. Four countries get to celebrate if she wins, yay! Only 3 if Fernandez triumphs.

Countries are ridiculous.

 

Bet you will be watching in your Union Jack pants and singing ‘God save the Queen’……..just admit it

 

These two teenagers, Raducanu and Fernandez, will do wonders for the women's game which has been pretty dull for some time. They both come from humble beginnings and have made good due to natural talent and pure determination and drive.

 

You free thinking anarchist, you.

Very jealous. I’m assuming they will be playing new songs and old hits throughout the night.
Think they’ve lost a lot of energy since Neville has gone (I assume he’s not with them tonight)

 

I can hardly contain by indifference to be honest. Haven’t bet on it so no interest

 

I’ll be at Starbucks loudly moaning about the lack of staff.

 

It’s in Cov, so I kind of hope Nev might turn up as he still lives there. No chance of Jerry though. They have a new record out soon, so I expect some new stuff, but we (my whole family are going) would love to hear all the old hits as well.

 

I may have to turn you in to Gambler's Anonymous, Stainsey. You'll have to stand before a small audience and confess, before the group hugs

 

I think being in Cov will make it that bit extra special. Would be great for you if Nev did turn up as he was the boom factor for me….pure class.
Dammers would want to play his own, weird bluesy stuff I think…..that’s why he didn’t join the first tour. As you say, can’t see him ever coming back.

 

Nah mate, it’s all as good as possible on that front…..small steps and all that. Still self excluded on the internet accounts so can’t bet ‘hundreds’ that I used to. Now cash bets only down the local bookies that make it more ‘real’ so stakes are lower……..hopefully won a few quid today if Chelsea win, so it’s a double edged sword….happy to win money but then draws me in more.
It’s an addiction

 

It can be an addiction, and when I look at the wealth of the betting companies...

so stay on top of it and enjoy.

 

Hope you and @Hoop-Leif have a great evening.

What's tennis?

 

Always have been.

 

Yep, spot on.
Modern tennis players are also incredible athletes who hit the ball so hard, none of us on here would see it coming back.
Radacanu is destined to be a superstar.
Really hope she wins tonight.

 

I was a men’s hockey fan for a while back in 2012….mainly ‘cos I got freebies to see it live.

My interest didn’t last

 

Go Ems you English/Canadian/Romanian/Chinese Rose.

Swing that bat like your life depends on it

 

Absolutely sensational from Raducano.
Fernandez is some player too and the standard in that final was fantastic.
Emma will be an absolute superstar. First qualifier ever to win a grand slam.
She just has to handle all the attention she's going to get, because she has immense ability.
What a fantastic player.

Proud BRITISH winner.
