Current temperature in Tunis: 37 degrees centigrade; humidity, 40%, It is…………….a challenge!
In 2 hours time I will be setting off by road, with 3 friends, to see the following “miracle”:

@jpacnw,
I just happened to come on this thread and saw this picture! It’s one of my all-time favorites of these two great players. Love it!
Thanks!
I have a theory that twinge is posting on SeansFedererBlog.
^^I haven’t seen any evidence to support your theory. Unless he is severely censoring himself to comply with the SeanFedererBlog party line……………….
Hey @ed251137, are you following the Vuelta? I am following it with added gusto this year because:
1. Team MTN-Qhubeka, Africa’s first ever cycling team to participate in a grand tour is on the roster. In fact, they just led out the team time trial.
2. Bertie is there, so is Vroom-Froome.
3. It will be a welcome distraction from a Rafa-less US Open.
I haven’t so far. Thanks for the tip off. I’ll try to catch some of it but I am awash with summer guests at the moment.
The attendance at the USA/Slovakia DC tie, Querrey vs Klizan, is just pitiful. It’s not like it’s in a small city…it’s Chicago. Maybe the attendance will pick up when the Bryans play.
it’s a World Group playoffs tie
people in America don’t even know what that is
^^True, and area residents have a lot of other sporting options. Still, I saw several posts on the internet where people said that it wasn’t promoted well at all. I have no way of knowing how accurate that is and maybe it wouldn’t make a difference anyway, given the state of American men’s tennis.
it wouldn’t
Davis Cup is generally promoted quite well
Well I don’t. What is it?
who’s on first?
The weather in Chicago is awful, about 8 degrees. That probably explains it and the venue is a fair distance away from the city center. I wanted to go but common sense prevailed
this tie ain’t outdoors
People going to the venue have to brave the cold weather Mr Dimon
fair points
Blooming hell, been trying to pretend today is just another ordinary day but every website with my personal details won’t cooperate, flooding my inbox with birthday greetings!
Okay then, Happy birthday to me! Now, let’s move on…………
rafaisthebest,

whose?
Ricky, you serious?
Oh Lord, I was quite happy being my morose self today but then I saw Gussie’s birthday card………cracked up.
Thank you Gussie!
Did this birthday mark the passing of a decade ?
Worse………….feels like.
I happened to see a fascinating picture:

The trust the cat must have had to lie like that in his arms…………like he knew the man had saved his life. Vey touching.

for whom would Rafa play Davis Cup?
Rafa is a resident of Balearic Islands (an autonomous region of Spain), not Catalonia (currently also an autonomous region).

Spain. The Balearic Islands aren’t part of the referendum. Neither is Valencia. It applies just to the Catalonia region. I hope Rafa has his PR answers ready for the inevitable questions that are to come. Ferrer, being from Valencia, will probably also be subjected to questions on the issue.

I like the sound of this!
“Don’t Ignore the Trolls. Feed Them Until They Explode.”

Jajaja……….
I just came across a video you should all watch and came to post it here… by coincidence it is also about Trolls.
Shane Koyczan, a Canadian Spoken Word Poet, wrote a piece on trolls. It has animated with music in an amazing way. Check it out. EVERYONE should see this 5 minute video.
^^Where’s the video, @chloro?
on youtube
just search for his name and/or the word trolls.
Ok, will do…..
Finally googled the video you referenced @chloro……………sublime!
To wit, asked what he regarded as the lowest depth of misery, Proust responded, “To be separated from Mama” ( Christopher Hitchens, Hitch-22: A Memoir )
I demur. Got to be being forced to read posts/blogs from posters/writers one purports to dislike. That’s what trolls do. I say forced because why else would they put themselves through the torment?
yeah, he really nails what is a troll in that poem… worth a listen and look
best wishes for the holiday season
Explains Rafa’s intelligence, no?
