Well you can't hurry a murray!

The lad did good last night
nail biting 3 plus hours I had to have 2 glasses of champers to
calm my poor nerves!

Metal Murray had the mettle to pull it off.
I thought he had it before the 4th set but it slipped away.

There is something tonight on to do with the Germans but can't think what :lol:

Well Rog is thru but that was a tricky one he wasn't upt to his old standard
and the french guy was playing really well then unfortunately fell so withdrew!

Andy is on today later this afternoon I think!
Will be surprised if he gets thru but so hope he does.

Oh and I believe that game where they use their feet to kick a ball around is catching on
and they play again on Sat :roll:

3 Lions on my shirt Jules Rimet still gleaming !
Lets not forget La Tour De France ! Mark Cavendish claimed his 31st stage victory at the Tour de France, three down from record holder Eddy Merckx.

Today bears the weight of erstwhile trepidation.
Uncertainties exhumed only to be hung up as ominous flags.
It has been grasped in my fingertips,
The reins that have steered my conscience,
The compass that has guided me through the wilderness
Of myself,
I am afraid, oh I am so afraid!
The cold black fear is clutching me to-night.
Will we go through ? Or is it the end ?

Our two souls therefore, which are one,
Though I must go, endure not yet
A breach, but an expansion,
Like gold to airy thinness beat.
If they be two, they are two so
As stiff twin compasses are two;
Thy soul, the fixed foot, makes no show
To move, but doth, if the other do.

And though it in the centre sit,
Yet, when the other far doth roam,
It leans and hearkens after it,
And grows erect, as that comes home.

Such wilt thou be to me, who must,
Like th' other foot, obliquely run;
Thy firmness makes my circle just,
And makes me end where I begun.

....I'll have what you are drinking Rob! :lol: 8)


Come on Rog!!!......Off to watch Federer in a min...

I'll tell you something Jan last night i kept getting messages from people asking me if i was ok and a whole thread about me passing away apparently drowned in a canal.
I thought whats going on here. So i put I Feel Good from James Brown on . This morning i had my sisters on the telephone crying. Someone who shall be nameless but he'll get what he deserves had put RIP Rob Williams on Facebook saying i'd fell into a canal and drowned !! Unbelievable how spiteful and horrible some people can be. I mean i probably irritate some people with my "humour"but to cause distress to others is unacceptable. How about that haha . One good thing is i know i'm well thought of by quite a few people !
