[Markymark]

Michelle Cheung will be raging!

[Badboy]

No Haughton, No Edge, no Marky C? Must clash with pension day this year!

And not to bring the threads across but if I was Mark Sellwood or Harry Wright I wouldnt be amused at some of the names in that draw.

Not a bad first round draw for lunchmeat and smith! Second round however could be easier...

Archer/Hunt and the two Ians are both unseeded, so they could cause some fun..

Maz and Gabby not even seeded after winning the elite finals and performing well internationally? Makes sense!

And in the mixed, battle of the old boys!
Ian Palethorpe & Jo Nicholas {La} v. Graham Hurrell & Nicola Cerfontyne {Do}

Overall standard looks mightly impressive though you have to admit.

[Luncheon]

I reckon Hardcastle alone could/would beat 25 out of the 32 draw and give almost any of the others a run for their money!

[Badboy]

How you feeling for your draws luncheon? gonna be there on the saturday?

[Luncheon]

We'll see Badboy, no draw looks easy......
Got a tough start, Allinson and Marritt have been playing well with each other for a few years now, if we were to get through that, Lindley and Langridge are no.2 seeds and a very tough prospect, if through that then you've gotta say there's a chance of getting to the semi's to play Archer/Hunt or Tonks/George, then if we get through those......we can give Blair and Clark a public battering in the final...where I would predict an egg!!!! They won't know what hit them.

Who knows Badboy......just have to take each game as it comes and give it all we have!

[Badboy]

Sounds like a plan!

The mixed your kinda stuck in the middle, but like you said Both mens and the mixed the draw is of very high quality, not really an easy game amongst them.

[FutureChamp]

I'm sure Kidd and Ghaffer were hoping not to meet in the quarter final.

[Mark.C]

loving the way they've made sure of not getting another ghaff v kidd final&stitching them up!!

[Luncheon]

How's fatherhood MarkyC........you obviously not entered the Nats...staying home with family???

[alansd]

Its ghaffars own fault for being so bad recently!!

[FutureChamp]

Agreed Alan, but it's Kidd that's been penalised also for it!

[Mark.C]

family life is awesome thanx mate,thought i'd give it a swereve this year...knee still recked from my hopeless effoerts at the elites!

looks interesting tho,mr rice always has a chance against raj&u just never no with ghaff

[alansd]

Are three semi's out of four events hopeless attempts!!

Young kimmy told me she took a set off of you, recently want to put the record straight on that Mark?

[kimboshay]

that is correct alan......1 set!!!!!!
maybe mr.c is too afraid to admit to it on here tho:D

[Mark.C]

no no....after kicking her ass in the previous 3 sets i thought i'd better let her win 1 as she was off 2 a tourn the next day&she looked like she was about 2 top herself!

[kimboshay]

haha, good come back mr.c!!! i was getting redy to do a possible racket throw at your hed!

[Admiral]

What's all this about Kidd and Gaffoo....do they not get on or something?

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

Some disagreement over Western policies?

Kidd is pro Bush. The Bearded One is not.

The Chosen One is pro bush!!

[richard murray]

hairy bush?

[ObiWan]

Obiwan prefers Kate Bush,who gave rise to the well known saying:

One in Kate Bush is worth two in the hand!!:D :D

[alansd]

Being a man from the seventies I will assume obiwan prefers an untrimmed one

[ObiWan]

alan,you been watching those late night german channels again??
I can see site support stepping in here any moment........

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

Obiwan prefers Kate Bush,who gave rise to the well known saying:

One in Kate Bush is worth two in the hand!!:D :D


Kill two birds with one stone, or kill one bird with two stones?

[alansd]

Anyone else wondering where Carl Baxter is and Danny Plant for that matter?
Also that young lad Eidstedt or something that beat honey and foster at the elite

[Badboy]

I presume Eidstedt doesn't qualify under him still being Swedish though I maybe very wrong. Baxter didnt enter last year either.

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

Maybe he is keeping his options open for the Candian team?

[austinrice]

he enters every year but doesnt have a passport yet so cant play... dicky has a passport but played thomas cup for sweden last year so wont be able to play for three years i think.

[razaul]

Some disagreement over Western policies?

Kidd is pro Bush. The Bearded One is not.

The Chosen One is pro bush!!

Whates with bearded name, his name is gaffer so u it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

[Badboy]

Thanks very much Nathan its nice to get it from someone in the know rather then us scheming at guesses. Any thoughts on the draws so far that you'd like to share with us?

[alansd]

Its always worrying to see who actually reads this thing, no idea if I have taken the p1ss out of nath rice for something but its highly possible, never expected these guys to be reading the crap I write when I am drunk... like just now. ehhh, go easy if you ever meet me guys!!
Could this be your year Nathan? No hour and a half matches with toby in the semis or quarters to kill you.
I really wish I was coming up to manc land now, then again I am pissed!!

[Admiral]

The Admiral thinks Kidd will beat Gaffoo...Honey for the title!!

[Mark.C]

thats a brave call mr admiral....shall we have alittle wager on that?

honey 4 the title that is!!

[FutureChamp]

Well if he does win it, i pity the spectators that have to sit through his games!

[ObiWan]

Well if he does win it, i pity the spectators that have to sit through his games!

Oi!! You are talking about a Surrey man here!!:mad: :mad:

[Mark.C]

harsh...take it u arent a fan!! I like watching toby play..u can always count on afew quality outbursts!!

[danbelcher]

i think Rice will win a Rice v Kidd final

good luck to you Luncheon

[Markymark]

Raj to beat Aamir in the final.

[danbelcher]

Aamir won't beat Kidd, The shuttlecock will get stuck in his beard

[FutureChamp]

Oi!! You are talking about a Surrey man here!!:mad: :mad:

Apologies Obi, i have much to learn.

I assume that Honey has modelled his singles game around your own supreme fitness?

[Admiral]

I will have a wager with you Mark.... how about that Kidd beats Gaffoo too!!??

[alansd]

Dont go spending all you money sailor, you will have beers to buy this week!!

[Mark.C]

i'll def have a wager on toby not winning it...but i'm with u with nick beating aamir although i do thuink it'll b closer than people give aamir credit 4!!

[David69]

Whates with bearded name, his name is gaffer so u it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

Take cover. The Chosen One Is It!

Rajiv vs Aamir "the Gaffer" final :D

ps: Are they in different halves of the draw?

[alansd]

Yes Dave they are in the opposite ends of the draw.

[ObiWan]

Apologies Obi, i have much to learn.

I assume that Honey has modelled his singles game around your own supreme fitness?

Naturally,Surrey is after all a 'temple of fitness'.
I go for Raj to beat Nick in the final,though obviously would love it if Toby can pull something off.

[Admiral]

I think you must have been on the sauce alan if you think you stand a chance!!

Mark I will bet you that Toby gets further than your choice...take your pick fella

P.S. Bonjourno!!

[alansd]

Just dont go spending your pennies capt!!
Although I was on the sauce last night!!

[Admiral]

The Admiral will give you 10 start and still teach you a lesson!!

[alansd]

A bit cocky for a vet arent we!!

[Admiral]

Confident Alan that's all...can be perceived as arrogant but there is a difference!!

[alansd]

Now that I have met you in person I know what one it is, dont you worry about that!!

[Admiral]

Fair comment Alan..!!

[Luncheon]

Admiral old boy.....I do believe we had a bet.......was it ten pound or twenty?

That you wouldn't get past the quarters?

Think I've won that one....as you definitely won't!!!!!!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

Aamir won't beat Kidd, The shuttlecock will get stuck in his beard

What happens there, is that a let or a fault?

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

The Admiral will give you 10 start and still teach you a lesson!!

Thats a verbal spanking if I ever heard one!

Hold onto you money at the moment Admiral, this is valuable beer money your risking!

;)

[Mark.C]

ok admiral ur on!!

i bet that nick will get further than toby..£10?

[Markymark]

What happens there, is that a let or a fault?

Definitely a fault. :D

[Admiral]

Mark... you're on!!

Lunchmeat....non runners are always no bets - not The Admirals fault he couldn't get in the draw!!

Alan....12 start - final offer!

[alansd]

No charity needed old man. Play from 0-0 and the loser buys the beer

[kimboshay]

you might as well put your hand in your pocket now then Alan!?:D

[alansd]

Worst case scenario, I just buy the admiral a couple of beers. That happens, fancy a game obiwan??

[ObiWan]

you might as well put your hand in your pocket now then Alan!?:D

Be serious Kimbo,he's a scot!!:D :D
Alan,bend over and brace yourself,I think they sell vaseline in the club shop!!:eek: :eek:

[alansd]

Be serious Kimbo,he's a scot!!:D :D
Alan,bend over and brace yourself,I think they sell vaseline in the club shop!!:eek: :eek:

I am not bending over when you are in the same county as me!!

[Admiral]

If we are playing for an hour you will be buying a lot more than a couple of beers Alan!!

[alansd]

but how many can the old man hold!! I'm not carrying you all the way back to your manor!

[Badboy]

Congrats to Mark for getting in the draw, a first round match with Rob kettle then second round most likely against Neil White. Just the kinda draw we wanted, lets go upset BE and their rankings then mark!

[richard murray]

Will all the seeded players get through the first round?

[Mark.C]

ya i think they will richard...cant see any upsets 4 the seeds.rice v dunlop is the best of the bunch.

[Admiral]

What would you know Mark...you're too old and out of touch with the game today!!

Where can we find the results?????

[Mark.C]

listen paul scholes u've got a good few years over me!! u'd better start saving your pension money 2 pay up our bet!!

[Admiral]

The Admiral is in training fella....coming over to teach you a lesson!!

Now where can I find the results?

[ObiWan]

Pity you two guys aren't in there to stick it to the youngsters.

[Mark.C]

[Admiral]

November, that's too far away - get yourself in the Berks in April we can have a wager on it!!

Have to be fixed so we meet in the 1st round....your body wouldn't hold up to many more rounds....have heard you're a bit chunka lunka's fella??

[Mark.C]

1st round will b good as i'll need 2 eat again pretty quickly!!

[Admiral]

As will I to prepare for my next round!!

A mate of mine has just had a little one too....he's aged 5 years in a week - the joys of parenthood..!!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

Admiral I am a bit surprised at the standard of your pre-match conditioning games you are setting up for yourself!!

Tell me you are playing the ladybird blind, wrong hand and in a wheelchair?

Tell me you are actually in the gym twice a day? Aren't you?

:D

[Mark.C]

Admiral i believe thats £10 u owe me fella!!
