As opposed to guys like Andy Murray, who may not be very PR savvy (though he's improving) but who have actually worked hard and achieved something...the real deal don't need to be in CBB, do they?
Mini-rant over :rolleyes:
Morning all It's a lovely sunny day here :cool:
Lovely sunny day here too - even had the windows open to let some fresh air in.
Totally agree about Andy Murray! And glad to see that some of the Olympians are getting a crack at things like Strictly and the ice dancing.
Can't wait for the tennis tomorrow! What a change in Murray since he won the Olympic Gold Medal! I thought this match with Roger Federer was so good - he actually kept his cool and didn't get dispirited, just kept on getting back on top. Lovely to watch. I remember a time when Federer himself used to lose it on court but maturity is a wonderful thing - and how it benefited his tennis!
Going to see Les Mis on Saturday at the Curzon Cinema in Clevedon, one of the oldest cinemas in the country run by volunteers. With a lovely red curtain - and nice ladies selling cups of tea and biscuits and ice creams and popcorn at normal shop prices. When I went to the Hippodrome after Christmas to see the ballet, I was shocked that you could now buy sealed plastic glasses of wine to take into the auditorium.
What's happened to just sitting quietly and watching something without fiddling about with stuff.
As you can see, grumpy old woman is on the march today. :rolleyes:
Oh, and I just wanted to add that I'm sad that Blockbusters went into administration because I use them regularly to catch up with films I missed in the cinema - and ours always had a very good selection of foreign films which never came anywhere near the local cinema screens. I'm hoping our local store won't be affected.
I don't want to be tied into a contact with anybody like lovefilm or netflix - actually I don't even know how they operate Do they send you DVDs through the post? Because if you have to do it online, I am not going to sit around watching stuff on a computer screen, and we tried screening stuff through my daughter's laptop onto the TV when she was here, and it kept stalling while it was loading. I guess if that's the way it works, I'll have to wait even longer until DVDs come out in the amazon bargain boxes or onto the TV anyway - and that would be terrestrial TV - none of this Sky rubbish. :mad:
See - looks like grumpy old woman is here to stay for the afternoon - day - week - month :D
Blockbusters, like our HMV, are remaining open for now, at least here in Bath.
Lovefilm and Netflix - as far as I know - can be watched through your TV. Go to their websites, should explain it.
It's freezing, wet, windy, dull.....not a happy bunny:(:cry::(:mad:
Been fairly sunny here.
It's funny, here in the city yesterday was just damp and miserable, not too cold. Drove up to Sainsburys next to Laura's school, on the top of on of the Bath hills, and up there it was windy, freezing, and still covered in deep snow and ice.
It's amazing how the hills surrounding Bath keep the city warmer and protected whilst having completely different weather at the top.

Just reading in the paper about needle between Murray and Federer.
Anyone know what that's all about?
I thought Murray was making weird faces at one point - s if to say, take that! - when he was 3-0 up. But that's not normally Murray's style - nor anyone in tennis.
It says in the paper that Federer swore at Murray very rudely at some point. That's not like him at all.
I'm sure it's hurt Federer that Murray beat him to the Gold Medal at Wimbledon - he'd made no secret that he desperately wanted to win that Gold Medal.
I'm glad Murray beat Federer because a journalist in a New York newspaper who is friends with Federer said that Murray was rubbish and could never beat Federer in big matches when it mattered. Lendl is amazing because he's helped Murray overcome those personal traits that always let him down before.

I don't really follow the tennis, so can't help you there...sorry.

You didn't think your trusty birthday reminder would let you down, did you? Especially with Ali's birthday!

Hope you have a good one.:)
