About bloody time, only been waiting 11 years for this!

Hey Elly... remember when we had a whole conversation in Simon and Garfunkel lyrics?

Thunder in My Heart - Leo Sayer

Hi Bev!  Many thanks for that.  Better late than never!

To quote one of your wonderful 'shoutbox' posts a while back... "bummocks!"

Andy in 4

(Although in the poll I voted for McEnroe v Lendl, because that cracked me up a little bit )

Nice report, thanks Katie... I find the mainstream media reporting of most sport these days to be somewhat OTT, that is refreshingly concise.

I have been considering Murray's sporting achievements of late, as I've watched him reach his 3rd Wimbledon final (and what a great shot at a second title), and was reminded of a troll on here many years ago by the name of fuzzyballs (in those far off days when this site was such a huge part of my life), who confidently predicted Murray's failure to win any slams, Wimbledon or otherwise, that he would never make it to the top of the game, and that he would fall out of the top 1000 within a short time period, and other such nonsense along those lines. (Strange character, seemed like a Murray fan at first and then completely lost it for one reason or another).

I thought I'd check back into the forum today and see if he was still around, and while I am amused and not in the least surprised to see he was banned several years back, I thought I'd look through some old posts for entertainment value... I had a little chuckle when I saw that his first post concerned Murray beating Berdych in 3 sets (in Basel I think... http://www.murraysworld.com/forum/andy-murray/the-reason-for-the-murray-hating-at-mtf/msg13072/#msg13072 ).

Anyway... long time no see/speak... hello to all Andy's fans and MW members, old and new... hope you've enjoyed this Wimbledon as much as I have, good luck to Mr Murray for tomorrow, COME ON ANDY!!!  

What exactly killed him?

Heart attack...

Sorry to hear Johno, I hope your friend rests in peace.

We gave him a good send off... I even made a speech, which is very unlike me, hope he appreciated it

You little shite for rediscovering these types of threads.

You're welcome Jules...

Here's a sobering thought for you...

I found out yesterday that someone I know is dying... too much booze is to blame.

Drink safely folks.

Just read through a few pages to find this... what a trip down memory lane, I have no idea what half of it was about though.

When I made this post in 2006 my friend had just been told by doctors that he had 6 months to live. A week ago today was his funeral. That was a damn good 6 months!!!

Laura Marling - night terror / alas I cannot swim / night after night / Sophia

Saw her last night at the Albert hall. She is insanely good.

Puts me in mind of some of Cara Dillon's stuff (that I haven't played in absolutely aaaaaaaaaaaaages!), will have to dig those out again...

Wooow! A right prediction.

Never been so unhappy to be right before...

Enjoy the match. I've decided to avoid the extra stress that comes from being on here when Andy plays. Got the wine, strawberry's and cream chilling

My nails are already short... they will be non-existent by 3 o'clock! BBC HD channel and a bottle of wine is the way forward I think!

Mark's rubbing his little hands in glee as he tries to accurately predict how many people the site can handle before it crashes Such a geek!

No change there then...

was about to say- amazing who comes out the woodwork at times like these

Yup, it gets boring in there sometimes... Still as big a fan of Murray as ever, I just don't really visit this site much any more... thought I'd drop by and see how things were ahead of the biggest match of his career.

Don't like it, but then again, I haven't liked anything Muse have done since 2006!

I had Hyperchondriac Music on last night, may have turned it up a little bit... hope the neighbours didn't mind.

Also, surprised and pleased to see something as hilarious as the Samwell video on here, didn't think anybody knew it.
