Your chances are so small as to think you might not bother. You grow up in rainly small town Scotland with zero previous sporting history, survive the trauma of the Dunblane massacre, spend hundreds of days practicing on a peeling public tennis court, and undertake many hard years of training to rise up to decent junior level. Onc=e day you make Wimbledon..."come on Tim"...bullshit....and get to the second round. You compete well but still the pessimism. The papers, the doubters. You'll never win it. Then several more years of persistence, HARD SLOG training, a US grand slam win, an olympic gold medal and FINALLY.....you smash the doubters by winning the Mens Championship at the worlds greatest tennis competition.


And still. And still you have people giving it "AM wont win a grand slam final".


Personality aside....what more does AM have to do?

Like quite a few others I quite like the moodey, not too media trained old bugger. I'd never trust a scot who didn't say they wanted England to lose for starters

He should have popped up in the unpopular things you like thread really. Tough to win but reckon he will win tomorrow. 3-1. C'moan Murray. On the BBC early tomorrow.

    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
    • Just be careful to know exactly what they cover and the limits. i use Many Pets and Medivet, as I think one of the vets is exceptionally good. Some of the NHV are, but I’ve had a couple I’ve not liked at all.  I need consistency and to feel that they actually care more about the animals than the money.  
    • I haven't used them myself but I noticed recently that "Snoots" in Forest Hill is going unlimited primary care for £33/month, so basically a subscription. Easy access on the 176 from East Dulwich. I have no idea what it includes so read the contract! It's a chain but only 5 branches so not a mega corporate. 🤷‍♂️ https://www.snootsvet.com/find-us
