Listen "Ducky", I don't think you are a heretic, just a little eggcentric maybe?

Daisy,
Maybe if you are so keen on hens this should be your new Avatar?

HOW did you get Debentures? I'm going to start applying ASAP!
And I'm going to go one better and marry an actual TENNIS PLAYER. Well if I can find one to take me of course...
I should explain that I am 16, an avid, yet not very good, tennis player, with friends in high places, well not really but the club I go to and the coach who coaches me has coached quite a few players to national level, and apparently knows Miles Mcglagon! One of my best friends is potentially going to go into tennis professionally, she may well move to an academy in Spain! If I ever get to sit in her box on centre court, I will have something relating to MurraysWorld on me

Sounds like you have better connections than I have.....but all I DID was to write a nice letter to the AELT notifying them of my interest. I have to say they did write back, fairly promptly, with a rather "snooty" reply stating that I could purchase debentures through a broker. Hum. Anyway, low and behold a few weeks later a full prospectus and application form arrived....and the rest is history. I must add that my sister-in-law also applied but was unsuccessful.

Maybe, I should drop the second part of my screen name.....and drop the "Loser"

I just googled black chickens LL, and there are quite a few different breeds.  Think I'm going to have to walk up to where they are and get a closer look.  I just didn't know there were black chickens.

They are probably Black Rocks. Black Rocks originate from the Harco/Arbor Acres breeders of America. They are a true first-cross hybrid from especially selected strains of Rhode Island Red (male line) and a Barred Plymouth Rock (female line). 

Daisy, on a more serious note hope your friend is getting better. My son only 23 is about to go on to the Kidney Donar list and I'm currently having tests for matching and going along the road of Living Donar

That smile of yours could just work wonders 

^ Keep in touch honey!!!

Thanks Daisy,
No You are quite right it's not easy being married to a non-tennis lover BUT there are some advantages....I don't have to share my two tickets with him

[She did not, I have to say remark favourably on any other aspects of my game]

Hi all, what a great site this is. Many topics to keep us all going and interested no matter what our age, health or status.
I have never felt particularly at ease with giving personal details on a public website being a bit of a private person but, Janscribe is correct, it is much more interesting if we know a little more of the background of the members.

So, I'm 52, female, married to a non tennis lover (even worse, a particularly  non Murray fan), and have a son in his early 20’s.
Took up  as a child at the age of 7. Played club and district until 16 but had to give it up because of a back problem. Originally, a bit of a townie turned “country-girl”, I started horse riding and breeding. Equines, not humans! At the ripe old age of 35, I decided to go to a tennis-training week at Gleneagles run by Virginia Wade. I had a great time and very surprised at just how much I had remembered. However, my biggest thrill, was when no other than Judy Murray (there as a coach) suggested to me that I should not stop playing as I had a super slicing serve. She did not, I have to say remark favourably on any other aspects of my game  Needless, to say, I did not take her advice and instead continued with my Labradors, horses, bought some hens and started breeding native sheep. Some of which I have to say are lambing at this precise moment  that I do not have to dash off.
Discovering a couple of years ago that I needed the dreaded, Specs  I went for a eye test to our local optician. He asked me why I thought I required glasses and I said that I couldn't see the tennis ball on telly any more! "Oh", he said, "are you a tennis fan"? I replied that it was only a mild fixation But then he told me that he was Andy's uncle and Judy Murray's brother. Well you can imagine how long my consultation took...not for my eyes but talking TENNIS!

Ever since that scrawny, lanky lad walked out on a Wimbledon court those few years ago and played with his entire heart and soul...and cramp, I just knew we were all witnessing a phenomena and my tennis interest yet again increased tenfold. In the past 10 years, I have been to Wimbledon on 3 occasions and Roland Garros once. To cap it all though, I am delighted to say, that after years and years of trying I am now the very proud owner of two Centre Court Debentures starting in 2011 

Andy WILL WIN Wimbledon , I am just so hoping it will be in the next couple of years but I'm prepared to wait 5/6 and that I'll still be there to see him 

^Hey, you two....we have guests (atm 14 of them)^^^^^

Don't think that Gasquet's problems started with that defeat it was more the drugs ban
