Wimbledon Challenger

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

straight up, i know a lad who had to retire after winning a medal at the Gay Olympics because of spinal injury....

no joke!!!

[alansd]

was he from bathgate?

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

where is that?

Asia?

[alansd]

ehhhhhh

Something like that

[Luncheon]

so has Admiral published his start time?

What time does the entertainment commence?

[Admiral]

The entertainment starts Friday night with your mother again Lunchmeat!!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

The entertainment starts Friday night with your mother again Lunchmeat!!

shoot darts does she?

[Luncheon]

Bingo actually!!!

[Admiral]

Give you that one Lunchmeat...good comeback!!

[Luncheon]

Spose you're hoping the Wimbledon will be a good comeback for you!!!

[Admiral]

Nope just happy to have a run around at my age....no expectations at all..!!

[Luncheon]

what are you now? 38? 39? ...........or have you had the big four zero????

So just to clarify have we laid a bet for this weekend or not? I hate to have lost then try and claim I didn't know exactly what it was!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

Admiral,

The Chosen One will play you 20 mins after you get knocked out!!

Double bet was it now?

:D

[Luncheon]

Is this darts or bingo?

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

darts, bingo, badders, your mother....

each case, the Admiral is going down!!

[Luncheon]

so you're over from bangkok for the wimbledon then.....or do you expect the Admiral to fly half way round the world in 20 mins?

[Admiral]

Not that old Lunchmeat - by the sound of things you don't think I will get past the first round....fancy a bet on that?

20 minutes after I finish I will be enjoying a nice cool beer bought by Alan!!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

so you're over from bangkok for the wimbledon then.....or do you expect the Admiral to fly half way round the world in 20 mins?

Only for exhibition and TV matches!!

[Luncheon]

1st round.....I'd give you more credit than that....so no bet on that one!

So are you suggesting a match between yourself and the Admiral would be worthy to go on TV?

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

Maybe on You've Been Framed!!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

The Chosen One has found a recent picture of the Admirals top secret new coach....

[Admiral]

No, here is my new coach!!

[alansd]

Not that old Lunchmeat - by the sound of things you don't think I will get past the first round....fancy a bet on that?

20 minutes after I finish I will be enjoying a nice cool beer bought by Alan!!

Hold on a second.... why am I buying the beer!!

Dont remember giving that one the nod!!

[David69]

Draw anyone? Pls?

[alansd]

doubt it will be released before the day.
Dont want these northern monkeys like Allinson seeing they have to play of the the bigdogs and pulling out!!

[Admiral]

You owe The Admiral a beer after you cancelled our game last time!!

[alansd]

I didnt cancel!!

You were the one that p1ssed off when you realised some teenager had run you ragged for an hour and there was a chance it would not look so good playing someone and not being able to give them a slap as easily as you thought!!
Memory going a bit old fella?

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

The Chosen One will play you 2v1 Admiral, you choose your partner!!

[Hillbilly boy]

rumour has it that top seed in singles is carl baxter, 2nd seed is ben beckman and the admiral is in the top half of the draw.

squeal piggy!

[Billy bothered]

Is Chris Gilbert seeded ?

[Billy bothered]

Sorry that was a joke.

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

Any sight of the draw yet Billy?

:confused:

[George_Obikwalu]

chris gilbert could do well, wimbledon is his home venue along with the dome in hounslow and park langley in kent and very soon it will probably be winchester in hampshire, but i could be wrong.

:D

[FutureChamp]

Baxter v Admiral will be an interesting first round match!!

[alansd]

Doubt the admiral would appreciate that first round!!
Baxter wouldnt be too happy either though!

[FutureChamp]

Ahh but the draw opens up for the winner, who plays the winner of the Giblet v Alansd match!!!

[alansd]

Dont think chris is playing this weekend and as I have already mentioned, I am only a reserve.
Good point well made though!

[Admiral]

No Giblet and no Alan....the tournament is in ruins!!

[alansd]

I'm there dont you worry about that, saving myself for the doubles!!
Unless I get a last minute nod!!

[Admiral]

You wont be in that too long by the look of things!!

[alansd]

By the look of what things?
Insider knowledge there admiral?

[seamine]

Has anyone pulled or likely to pull out of the Mens Doubles? I'm 1st reserve and my phone battery has gone!!!!!

[David69]

So charge it. Or do you mean it's gone gone gone? Walked out? Left home?

Still no draw?

[alansd]

funny guy!!

How many times.... draw wont be published until the day

[Luncheon]

Davidloves69.....there won't be a draw till tomorrow morning on the wall....only Elites and Nationals publish there draws.

[richard murray]

David have you entered or are you going to watch?

[alansd]

I will try to take my laptop with me and when I get there tomorrow post the draw and some of the results if I can be bothered.
Such a great guy!

[richard murray]

sounds like you are expecting to have time on your hands

[Luncheon]

I will try to take my laptop with me and when I get there tomorrow post the draw and some of the results if I can be bothered.
Such a great guy!

You gonna do interviews as well?

[richard murray]

good idea just come off court to be interviewed by sweaty with laptop.

[David69]

David have you entered or are you going to watch?

Nowhere near good enough. Didn't think about watching but could come along I guess - maybe i'll get another drink out of Alan :D or a whack on the head with a laptop :eek:

[Admiral]

More chance of the whack on the head...he's a SS after all..!!

[alansd]

I try to be a good guy and this is the abuse I get!!

Screw the lot of you then. I will get pissed afterwards as planned instead of educating all you clowns

[ObiWan]

David have you entered or are you going to watch?

Nowhere near good enough. Didn't think about watching but could come along I guess - maybe i'll get another drink out of Alan :D or a whack on the head with a laptop :eek:

ANOTHER drink out of a scotsman!!
You are hallucinating my man!!

[ObiWan]

Anyway,I expect Alan has spent all his money bribing the organisers to move him up the reserve list!!:)

[Bigdog]

doubt it will be released before the day.
Dont want these northern monkeys like Allinson seeing they have to play of the the bigdogs and pulling out!!

Mr Allinson will quite happily play anyone - his sights are firmly set (on Infernos of Clapham on Saturday night). I assure you that THE Big Dog will be there regardless of the draw.

[BadGirl]

Is it free entry to come and watch at Wimbledon?

[Luncheon]

Yep, but not at the Tennis Centre I'm afraid.

[richard murray]

Free, they sould be paying you to watch

[alansd]

are you coming along bad girl??

[BadGirl]

ha! - being paid to watch! - sounds like a plan ;-)

[BadGirl]

are you coming along bad girl??

I may well Alan - as long as you don't whack me with your laptop

[Luncheon]

If the rumours are correct it is only a small laptop and you probably won't even notice him hitting you with it!!! :D

[ObiWan]

are you coming along bad girl??


It's that name that attracts you,isn't it Alan??;)

[alansd]

You can meet young Dan B in person then.
I will let him know. He can make himself pretty for you!!

I will be on my best behaviour as always. Got to be careful meeting up from tintiernet chatrooms. Not always what the seem!

[ObiWan]

Hey,Bigdog!!

Who else is coming from 'oop north'??

[Bigdog]

Hey,Bigdog!!

Who else is coming from 'oop north'??

Not many that I know of. Slick is playing otherwise I'm not sure. I expect some players will just go to the Cheshire (I would have done myself if I wasn't using it as an excuse to visit people from the dirty smog).

[alansd]

slick.........

So you dont expect to be going home with your tail between your legs!!

[Bigdog]

Slick - Alex Marritt.

[alansd]

I want a cool nickname like that!!
Ladybird just doesnt cut it!!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

ha! - being paid to watch! - sounds like a plan ;-)

The Chosen One will pay you to watch!!

Deal or no deal Noel?

[ObiWan]

The Chosen One will pay you to watch!!

Deal or no deal Noel?


Now Chosen One,don't you go leading BadGirl to the Dark Side!!

Bigdog,saw you and Marritt playing at MK last weekend,you look almost like brothers! Do they clone you up there in Yorks??:)

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

How could I have been playing Slick in MK last weekend?

Your losing your marbles ObiWan!!

[ObiWan]

How could I have been playing Slick in MK last weekend?

Your losing your marbles ObiWan!!

No,second part of my post was directed at Bigdog,not you!!:D
He and Slick were both playing singles for yorks on adjacent courts.
My marbles are firmly in place:)
So you think you are a BIGDOG??

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

I can only report on feedback. Not personal opinion.

[BadGirl]

Chosen One will you be playing at Wimbledon?

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

The Chosen One will not be playing at Wimbledon.

He apologises for leaving you in the clutches of Dan and Alan.

Sorry!!

:(

[danbelcher]

I'll be wearing a red carnation

[alansd]

The usual saturday afternoon routine for you then Dan??

[Admiral]

I know a bird going to Inferno's on Sat night...little blonde number - she's a bit out of your league I'm afraid!!

[alansd]

am sure he will have a bit of cash in his pocket.
That always helps with the kind of birds you know sailor!!

[Admiral]

It would have to be very dark!!

[alansd]

It is......

Always helped me in there in the past!
Cheeky tequila for the ladies...

[danbelcher]

I'll be right here if you need me

[alansd]

No directions needed silly boy!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

Wingman Dan?

The Chosen One is ironing his white suit right now!!

[ObiWan]

remember,you NEVER leave your wingman!!
Oh how I wish I'd been in Top Gun instead of that damn Star Wars series........
:)

[alansd]

Some interesting results yesterday but I have gotten them down yet. Going back down to the club today so will try to post them later on. Final is Knowles V Baxter not sure about the rest.

[Hillbilly boy]

did yo lose first round then boy? i heard yo did boy, that aint good piggy! squeal!

[danbelcher]

Alan did lose but in a respectable three sets against Steve Higgins who is Surrey 1st team.

Has Nathan Rice given up singles, he seems to do well at doubles since reaching both finals and winning the mixed. Did he win the mens against Hurrel/Burgess, my memory gone blank?

ChosenOneReturns, you would have appreciated the spanking in the mens singles

[danbelcher]

From memory so hopefully right!

Nicola Cerfontyne bt Hayley Conner in 2
Graham Hurrell/Mark Burgess bt Nathan Rice & Matt Hanson
Peter Knowles bt Carl Baxter in 2
Sam Ward/Catherine Grant bt Sarah Hardaker & Caroline Smith in 3
Nathan Rice/Hayley Conner bt Graham Hurrell Nicola Cerfontyne in 2
