I hope you've put that weekend in the diary, and it doesn't clash with pop festivals or football.Puskas wrote:I'll be spending a long weekend in a cardboard box in a sewer in Slough, during which time I will be stabbing myself in the eye with a blunt pencil.
This is a huge improvement on my day-to-day life.

It's got to involve missing most of your serves, hence gifting the points to your opponent, but them doing something similar. Hence you each win the other's game, without making a shot. It then comes down to the minimum number of shots you need to win a set - presumably 2 to win the tie break . So ...

De acuerdo, Don Kangana... Enlighten, though, how about Latin American wines - are they following the French example? I'm enjoying young Chilean consistently (red and white - not yet found a truly excellent spanish white, can you enlighten here?) And a very decent, 2009 Argentinian red tonight. Spa...

I like him too. Much more than I could ever have liked Choker. The roof could have been his saviour and his downfall at the same time tonight. He got his match done tonight, but so has everyone else in the men's single draw who played on the "minor" courts. That saves him getting up and warming up ...

What a dislikeable arsehole Murray is. Thought Wickxxwaka's backhand was beautiful Have you actually met Murray in order to form this opinion? I'm planning to queue up overnight to try and get show court tickets for Wednesday. Has anyone done this before or have any tips? I'd say you're already too...

My experience of Shakespeare is mostly school (the same for everyone?) . Just before I left school we went to see Romeo and Juliet (the Olivia Hussy version) I fell in love with Juliet (who must be either a pensioner or dead by now) She was only 15 when she made that, which makes her about the same...

Roasted courgette & onion with a couple of chopped up spicy sausages, held together with a tin of chopped tomatoes and topped with a couple of spoons of freshly grated parmesan, all baked for 30 mins. Washed down with a glass of Sauv Blanc. Man, that sounds good soul food. But red wine, surely? The...

Bonanza in the charity shops today: Stephen King's On Writing , which I've eyed from afar for awhile; Stuart Maconie's Cider With Roadies (anyone who hasn't yet started listening to him and Mark Radcliffe on Radio 2 Mon-Thu 8-10pm should do so without further ado); and a Viz Profanisaurus . Still c...

Beginners thingy... If i had to name three accessible, wonderful intros to opera I'd go, in order of accessibility... Carmen (Bizet), La Traviata (Verdi), La Boheme (Puccini)... I would have put Tosca in there rather than Boheme, on the basis that it's just as good but shorter! Carmen, though I lov...

You're making me hungry now and I've already eaten! :D Is carmenere a chilean grape, or am I getting it mixed up? If it is i tried for the first time (half price in morrisons) last week. Thought it was excellent. I thought that it's of French origin originally, but please don't quote me on that, I'...

Re: Heavy snowfall
Yeah, but.... I go on the Northern Line. I know this is in the open in the Extreme North (Scotland or Finchley or somewhere), but is covered elsewhere. So why is it not working fine elsewhere? Eh? Pah. And pah again. Isn't the depot at Morden open to the elements? And there must be a depot in the f...

Aye. I don't know much about art, but I know what I like. A nice painting. Some fruit. Or maybe a bloke on an 'oss with a dog. Gah. That Picasso bloke - they don't even look like people. Some of them have square heads and that. Modern art - burn it all. What about this one? http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk...
