Catchy tune, the ladies reminded me of that Robert Palmer video for some reason - I think it was the dancing with instruments - , but what I didn't get was the bruiser they seemed to be taken with.Quote:

But I remain loyal to Sabine, I sure she'll go all the way!
Oh, and some blokes have been playing too.
I did hear tell that the blokes games are more boring than the ladies as they score so many aces. I don't watch, so I can only ask you chaps for verification.Quote:

Are those tennis gals still grunt'n like stuck hogs when they serve?
They are to some extent, though number one seed and Grunter-in-chief Maria Sharapova was knocked out by my personal J Hunter-Dunn, Sabine Lisicki - who was then knocked out herself by the grumpily silent Angelique Kerber.
That leaves That All-American doyen of the Grunters Serena Williams to rule the decibels on Centre Court.
Sooo, it's the impressively developed Serena Williams agin the slight and girlish Agnieszka Radwanska in the final. I hope those Anti-bullying campaigners don't try and intervene - the diminutive Polish girl is tougher than she looks.
Fellas, I just discovered a new approach to delivering the evening news.
I'm sure Mr. Cronkite would have approved.
I call it "Headline Poetry"
Take a snort of this...
Piano’s glass did shatter
a Shard of which stands tall.
Tallest in Europe for that matter
casts a shadow on St. Paul.
Grunts were heard round the world
when serving a fuzzy ball.
Serena pounds a stubborn Pole
now Krakow’s covered in a pall
Coming “round” to the Hadron Collider,
we discover a new particle.
All proclaim; that’s one helluva divider!
proving Higgs’ theory wasn’t farcical.
“On this day” in Missouri
a light went off in a bakers head.
“I found a way to wrap the turkey,
the greatest thing since sliced bread.”
By God, I'm proud of that and you won't sway me; that's right right, I'm posting this somewhere under the poetry heading.
I think you've hit on something there GG.
And now the Sports News
Andy's fairly handy,
But Federer is Betterer.
And from The Tour...
Yesterday in the Tour De France
Things didn't go by luck or chance,
The leaders avoided all the crashes
And the resultant red road rashes.
Cancellara, lost the front
On a mountain stage that made them grunt.
Bradley Wiggins is in pole position
And keeping it up is his mission.
Back to you Gill ...
(Excellent idea)
And from The British Grand Prix.
Waters lapped
Drivers lapped
Organisers Flapped
Cars got Trapped

Greenbriar can be thorny place
Too much for Tiger, he’s cut from the race.
With time on his hands and a decent salary
He’s free to prowl for a lassie in the gallery.
I’m signing off,
You’re on the air.
Paul, a little more rouge.
Mick, straighten your hair.

Hair?
I just saw this show last night and it had me laughing harder than I've laughed in some time. You Brits have comedy down. lol.
