RickMcD Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 I never understand why people like you are so f**king needy for other people to be constantly around you. And then to somehow present this as a character strength is truly bizarre. Where is this pathetic dependency coming from? What are you going to be like in your 80's when you are on your own for maybe 10 years or so before you die? [emoji38] We are all born alone and we all die alone. Everything else is f**king about with the deck chairs. Why are you in denial about this? My late mother always told me she was definitely there when I was born. And a big fat midwife skelped my arse. Cow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We keep a small circle of genuine friends and close family members. According to research, about half the population of the world is introverted. Not surprisingly most introverts don't open their mouths so people like you don't realise they are there in such vast numbers. If everyone was like you, the world would be a tedious place.

faraway saint Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) Watched highlights of Edmunds quarter final and he did play well. Predominantly trys to get his forehand on most shots but to me doesn't mix it up enough to win the tournament. It is a bonus, IMO, that he's avoided Nadal in the semi who had to retire in the 5th set against Cilic. He's only 23, still plenty time to improve and he could be in the final but there's a certain Mr Federer heading to that final and that's not a good prospect.

faraway saint Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Match kicks off around 8:30am UK time. If I could I'd have taken time off to watch this, even if he loses a superb achievement. If he wins he becomes British number 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Just watched the highlights, never really in it, although the 2nd set tie break was a killer. Win that and it's game on, as it was he didn't and it's a long way back, made worse by a injury which, to his credit, he played down after the match. Still, he's young and could use this as a stepping stone to bigger things. Time will tell. Disappointed no nuggets have been on whining he was called an English player early in the match.

faraway saint Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Just read Federer is, shockeroony, through to the final after his young opponent retired with an injury, although he was getting pumped 6-1, 5-2 anyway. The physical rigours of a slam are very demanding, to win you have to be in top condition and hope you don't pick up any niggles as the tournament goes on. TBH hard to see Cilic beating Federer who's been on some form over the last year. Still, I'll tune in on Sunday morning and might have a wee flutter just to make it interesting.

faraway saint Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Federer took the 1st set 6-2, Cilic 2-1 up in the 2nd. Federer is a machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) Cilic 5-4 in the 2nd, heading for a tie break. If Federer wins this it's over IMO, Cilic HAS to win the 2nd set to have any hope, albeit slender. Bet 365 coverage is reasonable, not HD but watchable.

Amazing how he just has the ability to produce the class when the pressure is on. That's what makes good players great players and, in Federer's case, great players into the greatest. just over 3 hours of quality tennis.
