  1. Reading Cities in Flight by James Blish atm. You'd love it, you crazy diamond
  2. On the plus side, if the Aussies do win we'll all get to see more of Ken round here.
  3. I'd rank his return up there with yours.

    He was mint like. Can barely remember the final with Borg when he eventually beat him. Also have vague memories of him losing to Connors but the one that sticks in my mind is when he beat Connors in straight sets. Think that was '84. He wasn't very popular until his comeback as he was very much a spoilt brat on the court and only chilled out a bit when he didn't give a fuck any more (relatively speaking). Great commentator as well. Connors however, still is and always will be, a twat. Seemed like McEnroe ruled the world for ages but it was only about 3 years and he 'only' won 7 slams (in singles that is). Puts into context the era of current tennis players with Nadal, Djokovic and Federer. Murray deserves enormous credit for winning slams and an Olympic gold going up against 3 of the top ten players of all-time.
  5. Advertising is about empathy. Relating to morons isn't that easy.

    It's the best autobiography I've heard someone else talk about

    Which completely contradicts your patter about seeing him in his prime

    Eh? You just said McEnroe was the best player you ever saw but he never won a Wimbledon after 84 (or any other grand slam). Yet 85 is your first proper memory of WImbledon?
  9. Shit tattoos will be ironic or something

    Still find it hard to believe it's 30 years since Becker won for the first time as an unseeded 17 year old. His rivalry with Edberg was class.
  11. Thought I'd seen it before.

    Tsonga seems like a much nicer lad than his cousin.
  13. Bet Chez has a gold plated bidet.
  14. She is dog rough like. Could you imagine how she'd look if she wasn't loaded?
  15. My lass loved The Wire but didn't like Mad Men.
