throbber Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 It's ok Throbber. Heavy lies the crown. As king of GN I suspect you face day to day pressures unfathomable to myself. I had an 8 year olds birthday party to attend earlier and I had money on Arsenal so not the best Sunday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavin_3110 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Gumtree morons. Advertised my old amplifier, for a frankly bargain price of £60 with strictly no offers in hope of a quick sale. The guy let me know he was coming from about an hour away and would be here around 8. Turned up at quarter to 9. He then offered me a fiver less than I had asked for, I refused. He left without the amplifier to embark on his 40 mile drive back to Greenock. Absolutely bizarre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Skidmarks Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 My tyre valve broke when attempting to fill it with air at the station, this caused the tyre to go flat. Got home to find my washing machine which is a month past its warranty, has packed in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Tennis being classed as an Olympic Sport. If a gold medal isn't the highest achievement in your sport, it shouldn't be an Olympic event. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more deserving than Dressage or clay pigeon shooting, which are shite diddy sports. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not criticising the sport, I just don't think it should be an Olympic event. Along with golf and football or any other sport that has a better prize within their own sporting associations. For instance, I don't think any tennis player would prefer a gold medal to a Grand Slam title. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like a few of the events but I was thinking how I've never actually watched an event from start to finish. Ever. I tend to skim from event to event until I get fed up and turn over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you underestimate how much it means to the top Grand Slam winners of this era. You see Nadal, Federer, Djokovic, Murray, you see their reactions to losing/winning, it's real. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see Nadal, Federer, Djokovic, Murray, you see their reactions to losing/winning, it's real. I don't doubt it's real. They are professional athletes and want to win every match they compete in. I just doubt if given the choice of a Grand Slam or a gold medal any of them would pick a gold medal. Everyone competing in the Olympics wants to win gold, but if given the choice I imagine they would forfeit the chance of gold for a chance at a major tournament. Compared to say a gymnast whose main goal in their career is surely a to win a gold medal at an Olympic games (and is the biggest prize in their sport). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
