Wimbledon

I don't know anybody who wears sports kit while watching TV what a weird idea!!!

Mind you I did wear my tiara for the Royal wedding

I was visting a friend one afternon ,when her husband came home and complained that his Arsenal shirt was still.in the wash when he needed it to wear to watch the match on TV later that day. [

Those of you that love it, I hope you have an exciting fortnight with no rain offs. I might get excited for about 3mins during a good rally but that's it.

Just because I find it a big yawn doesn't mean I shouldn't post on the thread GrannyTwice.

I always drink out of my Sporting Life/Grand National/Northumberland Plate mugs when I'm watching the racing.

Whenever I say I dislike Andy Murray I get a deluge of his fans saying otherwise. I do concede that he is a great tennis player.

Yesterday when he was in the Paris Open playing Gael Monfils he was making the most horrible grimaces at him and once shouted nasties at Gael's Box. When he said at the end Gael was one of his best friends, I wondered how he reacted to those he disliked.

Anyway I am getting round to saying that tomorrow when he plays my favourite Rafa (good sportsman) Nadal I will be shouting for Spain - so there.

I find Murray very unappealing too NanKate - he always seems so surly and joyless. My favourite is Federer - such a gentleman and easy on the eye too.

NanKate,if Andy 'shouted nasties' possibly it was giving back what one is given . I am glad that the Wimbledon crowd appreciate good tennis no matter who is playing, the French sadly are not known for this if one of their country men is on court

I am looking forward to an afternoon of hopefully exciting tennis tomorrow with Rafa v Andy!

hope you can all stay awake

Me too, Maggie. Should be a really exciting match.

They were saying today that Andy conceded two pints that he should have won and they thought it was almost idiotic of him to do so. I've warmed to him over they years and look forward to seeing him play. However, I can't watch Sharapova [not sure if she won today or not]. I do actually want to slap her when she screams constantly and wouldn't watch her play if you paid me.

Two pints of what? Sweat?

; points....! [typos are getting worse.....and more embarrassing]. I think I'm alone in not liking Federer much although I found him better wearing more normal tennis clothes this week rather than the white immaculate Wimbledon clothes with gold trainers. I love Rafa but will be gunning for Andy tomorrow.

I like Andy. He's a sweetie. And he's not the little lad he used to be. lovely legs now and quite hunky

He ought to marry that girl though!

He has hunked out hasn't he! I had a theory that it was taking him a long time to grow into his body, unlike Rafa, who I think is the same age but was always strong and stocky.

Sharapova is best watched with the sound turned off. Not that she's the only shrieker. I think it's Victoria Azarenka who matches her for decibels. It's awful if they are playing each other.

Sorry, Jingle, all I feel is revulsion when I watch AM. I usually agree with your choice of men, but not this time!

Revulsion is a bit harsh shysal

Admittedly he's a bit of a miserable-looking bugger!

Can't stand him.

I feel sorry for AM's girlfriend when he loses a match because I bet he is an utter misery to live with.

Tegan if you think Rafa is stocky I think you had better adjust your horizontal hold.

That made me lol Nankate.

GrannyTwice and ffinnochio....Soutra asked if anyone else was in 'training'. She didn't say only answer if you are. Those of us who are not interested in sport are surely allowed our opinion. Nobody said they others shouldn't enjoy it. I enjoy a number of hobbies and interest but I'm not worried if others comment that they don't share them.

Perhaps read the posts a bit more carefully ginny?
