Morning, Rusty!
How are you today?
It's much cooler here, and somewhat dull. But we didn't get the rain that Wimbledon did yesterday - I was surprised when the tennis was rained off briefly- we're only ten miles away and it was bright and sunny here!
What's it like in Dundee this morning?
You won' t manage to rile me with your remarks about Djokovic! I shall not rise to it!!
Actually, I don't think he was shouting at the ball girl - rather being cross with himself and she was in close proximity - but he has said that he will apologise to her if he upset her.
But remember I am not a Novak fan, but a Federer supporter!
Some very good matches scheduled today...Mens' Quarter Finals day.
But (apart from Doglet) I'm a lone voice whispering in the wilderness......

Pigale, I hope to see a break going away.
Now and again one will work!
But, I chose John Degenkolb yesterday, and he was second, so I shall stick with him today.
The sprinters will be licking their lips!
Do you remember Andre Darrigade?
He is my all time favourite sprinter.
Wonder if he is still alive?
Who are you for today? Bouhanni?
Time for a French win!
Elle, it is coolish today. Nice breeze from the sea.
No, I did not see the Djokovic incident.
Just read about it.
I think the ballboys and girls do a superb job.
I often think Mums and Dads must watch with tremendous pride. They are always immaculately turned out!

Elle 'n' Jazzgirl.
Here is another odd Scots word (it is in Chambers) for your collection! Yesterday was the first time I came across it in a lot of years.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-33434803

Just a quick post.
Young rusty: Please knock that phrase "as w as a jg" on the head. There are plenty of wise and well-read folk on here and I am not one of them. In fact I have put my "foot in it" more times than you've had hot dinners !
I have to leave shortly for my friend's funeral, so not sure whether I will be posting again today.
Have a good day whatever you are doing :).

crossed in the post with you rusty :)
I will catch up with all the news later...

I agree Rusty....they all seem to be getting quicker, stronger, faster, but nobody wants to question the reasons.

Jazzy, I didn't know that the funeral was today. I'll be thinking of you. Hope all goes well.. you know what I mean.

Aaaaaaaaaargh!
Heard it was a terrific finish to the stage y'day (Tony Martin breaking away with 3km to go, Sagan pulling Contador back to Froome after a split)...
Must get myself Freeview, I'm missing it all!

Rusty, I certainly have never heard that word before!
And yes, perhaps somewhat surprisingly, it is even in the 13th edition of Chambers!!

Yes Rusty, I remember A. Darrigade, even though I was fairly young in his heyday.

I remain open minded yet for I still reckon we have not seen any real cycling by the 'big names'. Bouhanni yes, but also why not Coquart, Greipel, Sagan and your choice Degenkolb - and who knows, why not even Cavendish ....?

As you can see, I am not really committing myself - have not seen enough racing yet. It would be nice to see Coquart win if only to bring Europcar Team in the front lines !

I wonder how Pinot is going to behave today; has he had his fingers slapped for behaving a little like a spoilt child, do you think?
