COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Well done, Andy, he played well in the third and fourth.
In the second set f the other game Wawrinka hurt his ankle and got treatment but they wouldn't let Dan go to the toilet while this was happening.
It seemed to put him off and he lost the set.
Going with serve in the third, gonna be a while yet, this match.

That one's actually quite good!
Like the photo on my wall.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Exciting tie-break and Dan Evans takes it to got two sets to one up!

'here' whilst watching.
Murray's making a bit of a meal of it.
Crowd seem uninterested.

?
Then consider me the crowd?
Is this a tennis match? Not very exciting to me.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

T.V. tennis, golf, bowling and such just don't seem to translate into interesting television to me.
Maybe it could be spiced up with packs of wild dogs or a few land mines.
Maybe I'm just not easily amused.
It's not just in the U.K. It's on television here as well.

Yes, US open.
3 Brits (2 men and a woman into the last 8 already and this could be our fourth).
The British guy has finally been allowed his loo break and his opponent is furious about it.
See ?
Very exciting stuff.

Must confess bowls and golf do nothing for me, either.
Cricket's the thing!

idk, golf is some good napping TV. The grunts make it harder to nap during tennis tho.

I have a fascination with British type life. The people and the culture, etc.
I'm not sure about the entertainment.

The Romans did the wild dogs thing for a while.
And then put lions in with the dogs.
Bread and Circuses.

What ?
Cheese rolling ?
Morris dancing ?
Pantomime ?
You don't know what you're missing.

Understandable. There was no Internet to occupy their time.

...the innate desire to queue

Yup.
I love queuing .
Unlike Moroccans at bus stops.

To me it seems a simpler life. Maybe behind the U.S. but not in a bad way.
Maybe it's because I don't truly understand life abroad, but it seems to be a better, more relaxed way to live.
Something similar to country life here.
I'm so tired of the big cities.

I only know America from TV and films, news and what people tell me.
I am very curious about it all.
Cities are generally horrid to me, wherever they are, but I love this old city, still pretty medieval but in a good way.
Certainly a lot simpler here than in Europe.
Sometimes that's good , sometimes it isn't.

Good night.
My battery is dead.
The phone that is.

It's a holiday weekend here in the US: Monday is Labor Day, so many people will be off work. Maybe folks are getting ready to barbecue or have visitors...

Or go to work ! On my way ! :-(
