    So who is going to be tuning into the tennis? I'm a Roger Federer fan but as he's out- dunno who I'm rooting for tbh.

    Does that sound terrible? I don't really care for Andy Murray but I suppose it would be nice for a Brit to win, even if I don't warm to him!

    His girlfriend is far too hot for him:D

    My favourite is the BBC News Channel, when Maxine Mawhinney (usually) is on at 12.05pm Sats only and finishes on BBC1 continuing on the News Channel. They have so few moments like that now - after Huw Edwards' 10.30pm handing over to Chris Eakin has long finished. (They just end the news at 10 now with going, boringly, to a programme trailer.) And of course I've always been interested in the precise time and the exact moment when tv or radio stations join each other. I've even sometimes had two sets on, in the now long distant past, just for the moments before they join. My favourites are strike days when Chris Rogers is doing the news at six/ten, and says "...bye for now" and then pauses for a short age, whilst BBC 1 leaves, and then keeps on the News Channel. (Sadly missed one of those when I was on holiday and could only get BBC1 and not the News Channel in addition.) I prefer the (BBC1 simulcast*) news on strike days - otherwise the 'worst' news programmes at the one, the six, the ten and BBC Breakfast (can't stand that - even have to go to Sky at that point, that's if I'm up and not going to work).

    [Edit: Fiona Bruce on the ten's good though.]

    *Except it's not a true simulcast (so the word 'simulcast' is not precise enough for my real liking) - as the News Channel has the ticker and therefore subtlely and slightly different (making all the difference for me, meaning there are two separate versions, not a simulcast i.e. of the exact same thing).

    zzzzzzzzz......

    FC's gone to sleep:rotfl:- noticed others have thanked me before FC has - she's dropped off bored - or, maybe, struggling with that post trying desperately, and thus reading it slowly, to find interest:D.

    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.

    Awww, you're in a very safe place. I don't deny his legendary status in the game, I just prefer a bit of a flawed character lol.

    Ha! Is it because you fancy Federer and don't find Murray attractive...? :cool2: :rotfl:
