I do not like the IW and Miami TMSs!

First topic message reminder :

It's no news for some but here are the reasons:

1 - What do they bring on the table? We have had 9 months almost of consecutive HC....there is nothing else we want to know about HC...especially slow HC!
2 -Right I can understand one of the two...but 2 in a row? Let's say Djoko wins one...he is the best on HC! Then Murray wins the other...he is the new best player on HC?
3 - It woudl be great to give Miami's slot to SOuth America. They really deserve a TMS with all the great players they have produced and it shoudl be on clay as a great introduction to the clay season!
4 - They are usually very windy, very hot and noisy. Remember that copter which hovered about the final in 2005 for a couple of sets!!!
5 - They sell us teh events as being a 2 weeks tournament when we know that everything happens in the last week. The last part of teh last week. Rip off!
6 - Last but not least, IW is owned by my former boss Larry Ellison, a megalo-maniac suggesting we should cycle to work when he owns the biggest private yacht in the world. He is also going to the gym and has face lift at 65+.

Grilled vegetables & seabass, mountain of fresh salad and a bowl of olives, icy-cold house white anywhere in European Med does it for me

That will do it for me too!!! I think I am what is politely termed 'a foodie' and less politely: 'a glutton'

I consider myself both a foodie and a dark horse

When I teach tennis to a girl I always strongly reccommend to wear cotton panties, in adherence to etiquette, and I truly believe even the performance is enhanced..........

I can't agree with this. When I tried this at Wimbledon once I was disappointed. Queuing up to pay about £3 for a tiny number of strawberries and a bit of runny cream in a plastic pot, all very mediocre and a real let down. All the more so since it was on my 30 before 30 list. Maybe it's better in the corporate section.

Yes...and at £8 the pint of pimms it doesn't quite taste so much fun!

I arrived too late! Must have been fun in the 70s/80s. SFP I am sure has a story about it!
