Cold Ale - The Blokes' Thread!

[Scheherazade]

Especially if you're in Dire Straits.

Oh, Dire Straits!

For a minute, I thought you said, "...if you're in a dire state".

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.

OK, now the footie has finished I've been assessing the form at Wimbledon this year. Miss Sharapova has just been thrashed by that Blonde Teutonic Goddess, Sabine Lisicki. I'm so pleased about this, I was getting fed up with the lovely Maria's sulky face. Other highlights are Ana Ivanovic's Long-legged grace and Serena's magnificent thighs. 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.

I myself am about to log into ITV player in an attempt to watch the highlights of todays Tour De France. Our oqwn Bradley Wiggins is favourite this year after he's had some success on other tours. Last year he fell off and broke a collar bone. He's come back strongly though.

Are those tennis gals still grunt'n like stuck hogs when they serve?

[prendrelemick]

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.

[prendrelemick]

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.

[Paulclem]

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

Thank you Paul and thank you Mick,
Now I know what makes you tick.
Headline sports holds you in thrall,
So let’s turn to the dimpled white ball.

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.
