Beefy's Corner - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

Does Lendl ever show any emotion? Everyone but him in Muuray's box stood up and cheered. He just sat there resting his face on his hand.

 

Super backhand

 

Murray's done it now, surely?

 

Curtains I think for Youzhny.

 

Sure enough, Murray through after a great third set.

 

Still hasn't dropped a set. Tough game, but he came through the test.

 

Huzzah for Muzza

 

Marray/Watson look like they are out of the mixed doubles as they are losing the third set. Fleming and Laura Robson are one set up in their match.

 

I could never imagine playing as regularly as they do. Many, like Laura, are in singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles. Can't do your shoulder any good.

 

Lewis Hamilton and Nicole Scherzinger have announced they have split up....again.

 

Who's this Marray then?

 

Pretty much only does doubles - in fact, I don't think I've ever seen him in singles.

 

Won mens doubles title last year.

 

Oh, yep just googled him

 

A rare British success...should be etched on all our souls.

 

I don't think anything that ever happens in tennis will ever be etched on my anything. However, I did take a mild interest in Robson's matches.

 

It's much easier for the women though, what with them only playing best of 3 sets...

 

Which uni is that? Quite a nice location by the canal, might have to do some exploring some lunch break maybe. Yes I'm a student, hence why I'm wearing a suit (I kid, I don't wear a suit to work usually)

 

Anyway guys, I need your help. I want to ask out a girl from work for drinks or something. Problem is she works in the Basingstoke office and I work in the London office. I sometimes work in the Basingstoke office (about one a week in recent weeks) but she also works in a different area to me, though on the same floor. So the issue is getting the opportunity to ask her which seems only likely if I we happen to both be in the kitchen at the same time (which when I worked in Basingstoke, did happen every so often) but then, for all I know that might not happen and being due to be there just once this week, it only gives one day in which we could bump into each other in the kitchen (or the cafeteria I suppose but I've never seen her there). But I want a contingency plan in case we don't bump into each other in the kitchen on my one day there, so that's where you guys come in..... There's a company IM system but I don't like using that for non-work related reasons (plus I don't really have an excuse to message her), and I could always e-mail her but that makes it sound very serious/un-causal.... Can't think of any other things I could try.... Any other ideas?

 

Just walk up to her and ask her out. The direct approach is quite effective.
