All the coaches do it but hers got caught. She lost her cool and let things get out of control. Calling the umpire a thief didn’t help matters. As Dan said it’s an archaic rule but rules are rules. She nearly cowed Osaka into losing but she managed to keep her composure for one last game. Displays like that are why I’ve never been a big fan of Serena’s.

Starting to listen to this.

One of the most disgusting displays of sportsmanship I’ve ever seen. I’m so glad Osaka won.

The UEFA Nations League kicked off this week. Four leagues with the best teams in A League. Here’s how the competition works, https://www.google.com/amp/s/news.sky.com/story/amp/uefa-nations-league-how-the-new-tournament-works-11493031, which, frankly, isn’t all that clear to me. At any rate, Spain, under new coach Luis Enrique, got off to a good start and beat England 2-1.

The Lingest Yard is the other movie that stands out.

I’m not sure of all the outpouring for him. He was a rather ordinary actor, emphasizing that good old boy character, which I found tiresome.

They use the term WC (water closet) in Britain also. After all, it’s an English term

In some places if you say bathroom, they think you want to take a bath. To Americans lavatory sounds too British so we say rest room. Similarly, in Spanish, if you say baño, people think you want to take a bath. Instead you have to use the term servicios.

Heard that one too.

A blower has always been the phone. When we were negotiating a deal and we kept trading drafts back and forth to no avail, someone would say “let’s get him on the blower!” How it came about, who knows? but so what.

Thanks. Off to eBay

Your experience mirrors mine and it is true, nothing is permanent. That would reveal a side of him we really don’t know about!

Thanks. Have you listened to the one with the organs?

Usually, I don’t pre-order but you never know about these selling out.

I just listened to the 32 minutes. Wow! is all I can say. Fabulous.

You said it was ridiculous that they would only be 3 GB if they were in the Central Division so I assumed that your use of the term “ridiculous” referred to their situation of likely missing the playoffs, not well how they were playing.

I take it you’re not a fan of the current format.
