Question What is making you happy today?

[Uncle Leo]

Indeed great tennis from Murray last night. That boy is re-writing the history books. :clap:

Italy away? No problem. If Murray stays fit I can see us reaching the Davis Cup final. That, however maybe another story.

Very well played James Ward as well, taking out Querrey. We need others to step up and give Murray a hand, good to see someone finally doing as much.

Indeed. I was listening to the commentary Friday night on the way home from the footy. He was 3-1 down in the 3rd when I got in so I decided against staying up because I assumed he'd lose.

Well done that man. It was massive because it meant Murray could have a rest on Saturday. Even with Murray in the team it would be unlikely that we would beat the Bryan brothers so allowing Murray a rest for the reverse singles was crucial.

The "look back" video wotist on Facebook is quite touching, even for a cynical old git like me. Especially as one of my "most liked" posts was saying goodbye to H(arry). :'(

Yes, I agree, I had the Egghead team photo as part of my montage, nice touch from FB.

Yeah, I thought it was going to be dreadful, but it's actually pretty good isn't it? Can't believe I've been on there for seven years!

I used to live near Cheltenham and if you didn't know better you would have sworn somebody parachuted thousands of drunk Irishmen in cheap suits into town overnight.

Is it not threatened by the weather? The West of England is virtually underwater!

Over four weeks to go; plenty can happen between now and then.

Also, the amount of money at stake for the course if any days were lost means they'll put a proper shift on to ensure it goes ahead (in a way that, say a Monday meeting at Plumpton won't).

Should probably start a thread on the sports forum to discuss this, but a colleague of mine is all over The New One for the Champion Hurdle. Generally around 10/3, he rates it a 6/4 chance.
