It was always treat to see Guy’s stuff on here and his latest is just as good…he said:- Well I'm glad Murray's doing well and I enjoy watching him. He's got better and improved, and I don't just mean winning grand slams and getting to world number one but he's matured and controls his emotions more than he used to. True he can still lose it and a Federer he's not, someone else I enjoy watching and still has style, elegance and class even though he's arguably past his best. That though isn't everything. Tim Henman just didn't have it thought I wished him well. Going back I used to like Jimmy Conners and Bjorn Borg, two quite different personalities. McEnroe I didn't like at first but grew to, the opposite to Nastase who I used to like but has now blown it.
Murray has had a dip after getting to No 1 last year but seems to be finding his form again and has definitely got better each round in the French Open. He's got a good chance this afternoon and I shall watch. Things are going his way, Djokovic has just lost in straight sets (though is through with his opponent retiring). Could be a Nadal v Murray final. As for this list sure it's changed but then things are always changing. It's part of life, if things didn't change there'd be no development, if the world didn't change it's be the end of everything. Footie has changed, maybe not beyond recognition but it's not the same game I grew up with, at least at the higher levels and the wall to wall footie 24/7 on tv. It's football Jim but not as we know it. We change as well. I know longer see things in the black and white I used to. I've even given up on an irrational hated from that team for Salford as well as various others. Still it's good to have Thirkers back on the list. There's a few other oldies still about, just not quite as vocal as in the past, and maybe some others will return as well. For anyone who hasn't been to Whitby the do so. There's much to be recommended. Not just Thirkers and some of the best fish and chips you can find but a magnificent Abbey (ruins of), shades of Bram Stoker and Dracula, whaling, a magnificent town and glorious surroundings with the North Yorkshire Moors. guy =-=-=-=- Ey-Up, Guy, the man who Christened me “Thirkers”, it must have been around 18 years ago, a long time ago eh! Guy. I was an old man then, so you can imagine what I’m like now Great to see your post and may I say you write as good as ever. I know you haven been 100% health-wise, but I sincerely hope you are returning to be healthy as you were. Another sad end, to what seemed to be, maybe, the turning point in Leeds promotion hopes, but alas another disappointment……folks as old as us are used to it eh! Guy…….Remember, the year we were up for the treble and got nothing. No wonder Billy titled his book as he did. Take care, I will always remember the time you and I had a grand night in "The Hole in The Wall", Scarborough, and my missus came to pick us up after closing time. Happy days, Guy..eh! Cheers and Beers Thirkers\098/ _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER
