You can’t make this up:
An Ethiopean Airlines co-pilot hi-jacked his own plane this morning and headed for Switzerland instead of Rome. He entered Swiss air space escorted by Italian fighter jets because the Swiss Airforce couldn’t be deployed as the incident occurred outside normal office hours. So, anyone intending to invade Switzerland here’s a tip: best do so outside normal office hours!
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-02-17/ethiopian-airlines-says-hijacked-plane-has-landed-in-geneva.html
“The Swiss aviation office has set up a crisis-management group, said spokesman Urs Holderegger. Two Eurofighter aircraft of Italian origin escorted the aircraft to the airport. Swiss fighter jets weren’t deployed as the incident occurred outside normal office hours, the Swiss Air Force said.”
Now I know why Fed couldn’t be bothered to turn up for national service…..
“The incident occurred outside normal office hours…..” LOL!
RT @TerryMoran: “Local joke here: Russian arrives at airport in some country. Immigration officer says, “Occupation?” Russian responds, “No, just visiting.”
Groan……..
No groan, funny 🙂

You two crack me up.
Apologies to All. Please feel free to scroll….
“sensitive Federazzi soul” I love it!!! Except they are soulless (and humourless while we’re at it).
Great post just now over on TX ritb. They have the extra filters on and not letting anything in from me.

Problem is Ben, you get to discuss it free of redaction whereas the Rafans have to be nice or be moderated.
How many Rafans are unmoderated here?
I can only think of one.
How many non-Rafans are moderated?
pfft. end of.
(And I know you have xray eyes Benny)
^^^Too funny! They are so easy, I knew they were going to publish my post because I DARED them to. I’m done with their stupidity.
Ugly fans. No sense of humour.
^^^^the penny has finally dropped. What took so long?
@Hawkeye
Really do NOT know why u r moderated. What u write is very mild compared to some.

Very simple, Tennis-x blog is the North Korea of the tennis world. To belong, you have to tow the party-line i.e. Sean Randall’s Federazzi line.
http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-26747649
“Male university students in North Korea are now required to get the same haircut as their leader Kim Jong-un, it is reported. “
The only way to get on as a Rafan on the dysfunctional tennis blog is to be a Happy Chic alias Alison who is prepared to join the mob sometimes and diss Rafa. Which is OK is you don’t mind selling your birthright for a pat on the back by a Fedfan.
^^Well, they can have that. I used to find their stupidity funny, now I don’t.
Tennis-X is a microcosm of the worst part of religious Federer Fandomania.
Go onto Youtube and listen to the animal like roar when Rafa lost to Soderling, Rosol, Stan and Darcis. Compare this to when Federer loses to Stakhovsky or Soderling. No comparison.
It is true venomous ugly hate. Over tennis.
LOl I’ve dared to say I love Fed’s tennis but wouldn’t ask him to tea and youknowwho had her usual nasty go at me. 🙂
#WhoCares
deucy, the one thing you’ve got going for you is that you are a Djoray fan. Not being a Rafa fan alone entitles you free access to the club.
Lol nadline, Andy is waaaaaaayyy in front of everyone else. But the only players I really don’t like, like you, are these too tall serve bots. And yes, am including Berd in there, most unfairly I know 😉
TBH, I still enjoy watching Fed play (just not win).
I replay his points on my PVR as much as any player.
Selective filtering at T-X…

Ben, only skeezer said Stan was a journeyman.
Please stop hounding him over it.
He admitted his mistake.
Enough already.

With Nadal unmotivated, Murray and Djokovic injured, it looks like 2006 all over again.
Hopp Roger!!!
^^I hear Sean Randall has banned any talk of possible silent bans (re Djokovic) and yet Ben Pronin single handedly kept a thread running with such innuendo and outright doping accusations against Rafa during Rafa’s extended lay-off…..
And yet they mock TT, which had a strict and consistent policy against unfounded doping allegations, and never wavered regardless of player. Are we to believe Sean Randall has discovered morality?
Too funny…
btw, I have a sneaky feeling @snowdevil might be @contador. She used to sneak in regularly over at TT, by her own admission, @contador’s that is…..
snowdevil said that he is ts38 from TT. A Roddick fan. Contador did post on tt back in the day, but got into trouble. I can’t confirm if she was banned, but after that she moved over to tennis-x. I was told her user name on TT. People who weren’t on TT back in 2009 wouldn’t even remember it.
Thanks nny. Ah yes, ts38 is fun to mess with.
Oh c’mon, ManU…….I don’t like David Moyes much but if you’re gonna sack the man, do it quickly. This drip, drip suspense is cruel to then man…………….
#SackMoyesNow
David Moyes has been sacked, thank you Lord! No point asking what the heck ManU were thinking when they hired him in the first place. Now, get a good Manager! This is ManU we’re talking about, not some Mickey Mouse club…………….

Anyone wondering about my new atavar: it represents my resolve to think a little more carefully before I commit my evil thoughts in writing 🙂
Am I the last person on this site to have discovered what the little symbol next to my screen name on the righthand side of the Grandstand bar is for?
What bliss.

I see my avatar in the right upper corner. What do you see there?
If you have asked for notifications of replies to your comments (by clicking on the box underneath the place where you type in comments) you should have a small symbol to the left of your screen name. Click on that and ‘voila’ you can see a list of all responses together with a note of how long ago. When you click on a response it takes you to the actual point on the thread.
Yeah but then doesn’t that mean you’re going to get an e-mail every time there is a follow up comment?
These are the two boxes I can check:
Notify me of follow-up comments via email.
Notify me of new posts via email.
it has just occurred to me that possibly this system only works if you sign in with a WordPress account. Something I only did a couple of weeks ago when I wanted to change my avatar. Could explain why I’ve only just noticed the symbol in the Grandstand bar.
ed251137@April 29, 2014 at 1:53 pm
I have asked: “Notify me of follow-up comments via email.”
Is it working for you?
#AsTheBishopSaidToTheActress
Hawkeye: . I originally ticked ‘Notify me about ‘new posts’ when I signed up to Tenngrand and have been getting emails ever since but ONLY when there is a new thread. Recently I opened a WordPress a/c which is when I ticked the ‘follow ups by email’ box. However I am not being inundated with an email each time somebody responds to a comment of mine but I can now see any replies by clicking in the Grandstand bar.

ed251137,
On WordPress, ‘a new post’ means a new article posted by the owner of the blog (= by Ricky on The Grandstand ).
If you tick ‘Notify me of follow-up comments via email’ box, you’ll get an e-mail each time somebody writes a comment (not only responses to your comment).
I’ll made you a short guide: what to do. 🙂

Now my head is spinning.
When you’re an old dog it’s hard to learn new tricks 🙁
Think I’ll just stick with what I’m doing now. Cant cope with anymore emails dropping into my mail-box everyday.
Sorry Gussie. Forgot to thank you for the step by step tutorial.
ed (at 5:10 pm),
My pleasure. 🙂
If I press any key on my laptop I get all the responses to my posts and it takes me to the original post.
