Asset, it's taken you until the (postponed) final to realise The US is only on Sky. From this, I surmise you're hardly a die-hard fan of the sport. So, for your part at least, you should be happy that the Beeb et al aren't squandering their resources on this tournament. Hardly outrageous.

The second half of the fourth set and the fifth set were pretty amazing tennis. A number of corking rallies. You went to bed too early!

Ha, was quite jealous of the fact he then went out to celebrate as it was only 8pm ish Chicago time.


"C'mon Andy! Serve up like it was Turnmills in the 90's and you had a pocket full of pills!"


"Conditions shite again with wind. SOMEBODY TELL THAT CUNT OF AN UMPIRE TO SWITCH OFF HIS MIC BETWEEN POINTS!"


"As McEnroe says: get that fuckin mic off you little jobsworth umpire cunt."


"Maybe I was paraphrasing McEnroe a little."

    • Or increase tax.  The freezing of personal allowances is one way, not what I would choose.  On principle I don't care if the rich immigrate.  The main parties could have been more honest before the election.  Reform is deluded.
    • I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here. 
    • You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect 
    • I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic.
