Off Topic The Goodhand Arms

Watched the last 2 sets. The level of tennis was superb and credit to all 4 players.

 

Agreed. An absolutely brilliant game of tennis. If that's the last we'll see of Lleyton Hewitt he's been an absolute credit to his country. And they should increase the prize money in the doubles at Grand Slams to encourage the top singles players like Andy Murray to take part.

Ah . Kilimanjaro !

 

Andy Murray v Tomic about to start. If Andy wins, GB will be in the Davis Cup final for the first time in 37 years...having beaten the USA, France and Australia. Only a few years since we were playing with the stiffs in the Europe/Africa group. Should be a gimme, but people thought that about yesterday where Andy had to play a mentally and physically draining doubles match.

 

Murray wins in straight sets...shows how fit he is to do that after the 5 setter yesterday. Well done.

 

Incredible stuff from Murray. He looked a complete physical wreck for the first few games, but he was just too good for Tomic. A fantastic achievement for British tennis.

 

Great stuff from Murray - he`s got some engine in him.

 

Never gives up on any ball. The longer a rally, the greater his chance of winning it.

 

This Netflix film looks good.

 

Just been reading a piece written by Will Self on the subject of insomnia. When Will is being light he becomes poetic and witty. Using his excellent command of the less road trodden he tells the story of how he slept through entire eras when he was young and now he, his smartphone, and the toilet, are best buddies during the night: And it all started in 1990 with Nessun Dorma.

A teenage boy in North Carolina has been prosecuted for having nude pictures of himself on his own mobile phone. The young man, who is now 17 but was 16 at the time the photos were discovered, had to strike a plea deal to avoid potentially going to jail and being registered as a sex offender.

What the hell? This doesn't even make sense.

 

Lord Ashcroft has accused Cameron of putting his penis in a dead pigs mouth?

What?

 

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

I'm... I really don't know what to say.

 

Good to see Vettel win today, and in doing so become the third "winningest" driver in F1 history. Some racer.

 

It will never get certification to go supersonic.

Indeed.

 

Am just glad to see the Ferraris and Red Bulls at the front again. Makes it soooo much more interesting. For one race at least!
