Yes, us regulars are nice and the more sporadic posters. It's just the random ones who usually spout off about something or other who ruin it.

Anyone else finding this match thoroughly uninteresting?

I take it back, Raonic's hair moved.

Lisa! Behave! Andy has a few years left I reckon.
Oh I dunno, there's a barren patch starting to form around the crown he's brushing back to cover up.

On an unrelated note, is anyone else getting harassed with video ads at the top of the DS page? I wouldn't mind but they have sound as well.
As others have said, ad-block is the way to go. It's not worth the risk, especially on phones with all the dodgy ads that DS have had problems with lately that kept redirecting to other pages.

Thanks Jenny. I've bought the tickets and flights for both and booked hotels. The hotel bookings can be cancelled up until a few days before so I only stand to lose the tickets and flight money. A friend of mine who is a Ferrer fan is going to Barcelona and our days overlap so that's the one I am really hoping for......
I hope you get to go, especially given how well Barcelona lines up. I'm looking into going to the Majorca event next year, it looked really laid back and chill in its debut this year and it's a good excuse for a summer break.

Thanks planets, I will look into it. I reckon you and I could exchange a few war stories about our poor health experiences!
Can I join in please?

I used to have really thick hair, but since I've been ill, it's getting thinner and thinner. If only it happened to my body and nor my hair

I use this to cover up the thin bits - it's fantastic and makes my hair seem thicker https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hair-Today-...rds=Hair+Today

And that is why we still can't trust robots to fully replace humans in the workplace.

Feel free Sarn. You know all too well about my dramas and you've had more than your fair share.

Was it just me, or were the crowd cheering Raonic more when he seemed to have a chance to break? Okay, I will be generous and say that they just wanted to see more great drama....

The hair lock and the tongue sticking out - at the side no less. Well worth the entrance fee.

It couldn't have moved! The commentary team said the other day that Raonic actually tried to find the best hair gel to use during a match

Raonic had tons of chances to win that match but those shots coming into the net were woeful. I felt like giving him a measuring tape at one point with all his long shots too. It was as if he didn't know the measurements of the court.

Your nastiness has to manifest itself somehow.

Sleeps! How the hell are you buddy? Yep, I succumbed to a new VW Golf on lease. It has so many high tech features that I feel like I'm in a space shuttle!

Your boys really didn't turn up on Friday night did they?
