C'mon ANDY

He's not miserable - he's a laconic Scot with dry humour which most people don't get. There are plenty of vids of him larking about with interviewers and making jokes.

If you only ever watch tennis for two weeks a year then you're not really going to see the whole picture.

Let's face it, you've just come of court after a gruelling 3hour battle and you're expected to perform to the camera to make the public feel comfortable about you being a happy media friendly person? who gives a toss really - it should be about the sportsmanship of which there is plenty with AM.

It is unlikely he will beat Federer today, but he has beaten him several times before so it's not impossible. I will be cheering him on this afternoon.

Don't care either way. Good luck to him, as Federer is arrogant, but I won't swell with British pride if he wins, and if he was playing Nadal I'd cheer Nadal because he's way more entertaining than any of them.

I see that you're trying to extend your playground logic to the world of men's tennis.


Top level sports men and women have, by their very nature, arrogance. It is why these sports people compete with each other for the prize of being the very best.

That and half a million quid in 2nd place prize money.

    • This is clearly far from a unique issue. Somebody posted this on Facebook and it is so similar to posts here I asked him if he was with Tessa Jowell - he said "no, Lewisham".  "This morning on the microsecond of 8am I tried to get through to my GP on the phone...it went straight through to Hold. Tried again. Same thing. Tried a third time...Same thing. OK, I thought, I will hold. 32 minutes later, I gave up. The voice said "Did you know you can now book appointments online?" NO YOU CAN'T...I have the Patient Access App & for the past 2 years it has said "This practice is unable to book appointments online." Anyhooooo...on way back from shops I popped into the actual surgery to see if I could book an appointment in advance...that was my second mistake...Receptionist said "No. You will have to ring up on a Monday morning to see if we have any for that week" "Oh, and what time should I ring?" "It's best to ring at 8am" "But i just spent 32 minutes this morning on hold and couldn't even get through" "Yeah, sorry about that, we are short-staffed at the moment...but did you kn ow you can now book appointments in advance online?" "No, you can't" "Well, there are sometimes some appointments available online" "Nope, no there aren't...looked every day for 2 years and not a scintilla of an appointment..." "Well, you could always ring up at 8am" "You do know the whole system is completely falling to pieces?" Receptionist gives rueful look. In case I lost it and set fire to the whole fecking GP Practice there and then, I left. I will try again tomorrow morning at 8am. And see if Dr Godot will see me...We are well and truly f****d, peoples."
    • Hi, it might be too late but have you tried Discogs?  https://www.discogs.com/search/?q=can't+take+my+eyes+off+you+frankie+valli&type=all&country_exact=UK
    • Brilliant.  This is the right place As we need some support.  I will be in touch. TY
    • Long time cyclist and driver here, (but I cycle much more than drive). Sadly I'm not sure we're ever going to get over this.  The pro- and anti- camps are so polarised that compromise and acceptance seems impossible; it feels like someone has to be the winner. I had a break in Berlin recently and the attitude seems so different.  There were loads and loads of cyclists (most non-electric as far as I could tell) but everyone adhered to the rules.  Motorists and cyclists always stopped at red lights.  Pedestrians only crossed at crossings and only when the green man light was lit.  There were cycle lanes, sometimes borrowed from the road, sometimes from the pavements but always used.  What's needed is a cultural shift in mindset.
