And you would know that because of what? What top level of anything have you competed at?

Arrogance amongst sports people is pretty rife. A simple google search using arrogance and sports gives an indication.


Still, no amount of playground logic will be enough to silence me.

Murray is a bit unfortunate in that he is playing in a 'golden era' where there are 3 world class players in Federer, Djokovic and Nadal. The odds of him not playing one of them at some point in a tournemant are pretty slim. Just getting to a final of a Grand Slam is a good achievement in itself, especially Wimbledon with all the pressure that is thrown at him. His biggest problem will be how he copes mentally with another Grand Slam final defeat, his fourth I believe. Maybe he just needs a bit of luck to get over the line. Yesterday it was against him in that the rain delay and subsequently playing under the roof played into Fed's hands...

I think its a pretty poor excuse that he's up against 3 world class players...


Would he have fared any better in the era of Borg, McEnroe and Connors ?


He just needs to get better. And he is getting better. He is young ish and likely to be around a bit longer than Federer/Nadal but it would be even better if he could step up to their level.

      Abandoned Ferrari!!! (I’m not joking!)

      By AwaitingAA · Posted

      Hi - a friend sent me this link…   The car is neither abandoned nor stolen! (Nor ever has been, so not sure why that has been suggested). It is mine, I collected it from service (and MOT as identified by some on here) on Friday, driving home it had a bit of a hissy fit and broke down! AA attended on Friday, could not recover it until this morning. Spoken to the nice people inside Westminster carpet on Friday who couldn’t have been kinder, I moved the car back from the doors of the property as best I could without blocking more parking spaces. Recovery should be here imminently. Apologies for any inconvenience.

      That's very odd if they won't answer. Do they just say "no, we won't tell you that"? I can understand they wouldn't want you to get the bread direct from their source instead of from them, but why not just say that? If they baked it themselves, I imagine they would be only too happy to let people know.

      Possibly one of the other local garage owners may know? Also, it's possible if the owners and staff are still in the area that they might see your post. They didn't post on here themselves (to the best of my knowledge) but they must have known that I did, as a couple of times the lady who worked in reception phoned me to ask me if I could  post in the "Lost" section when something dropped in Hansler Road had been handed in to them. Unfortunately I only have their office landline  number, which presumably disappeared when they closed. Good luck! Hopefully your service manual may turn up in an unexpected place.

      Well, that was my initial thought too, but having re-read the thread, it seems that the car was left outside Westminster Carpets. Maybe even middle-aged Lotharios can't ignore the low, low prices in their 'Remnants, Offcuts & Roll-End Sale'.   Do you know anyone with a second generation Fiat Punto (1999-2010)? Because 5 to 1, the key will fit.  I'm out of the country, watching the cricket, just now but if you can get it down to the Catford/Sydenham borders in the next couple of hours, I've got a mate who can 'look after' it. It'll be at Tilbury docks by 6 o'clock. Have you ever driven a car with an F1 style, flappy paddle gearbox before?
