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.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By civilservant · Posted

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

      Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
