I am forced to pay the full price for a haircut when I’m follically challenged. To add insult to injury most of the hairdressers I have used make a dog’s dinner over cutting my short back and sides.
The ungracious Williams sisters don’t understand why they are unloved at Wimbledon. This will be the first Wimbledon ladies’ final this century not to include Serena or Vanessa. Good riddance!
My doctor never addresses me by my name (neither first or last,) and has no idea what I am doing in his consulting room until he cranks up his lap top to spew out my medical history.
Fading champions like Roger Federer fail to admit their era of dominance is all but over. Federer lost in five sets at the quarter final stage to an opponent he would have swatted away like a tiresome fly a couple of years ago. It’s also the first time Federer has lost a match in a grand slam tournament when leading by two sets.
The Georgia DOT converts 15 miles of existing High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes to High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes on Interstate 85 in Atlanta for the princely sum of $11.7 million. Most of the money has been spent on the installation of sign structures designed to confuse the hapless motorist.
The Atlanta Braves offense is one of the worst in the League but nobody appears to question the ability of the new hitting coach Larry Parrish. Brian McCann is the hottest hitter in the major leagues right now, but earlier in the season when he was in a slump, who did he turn to for advice? His brother! Chipper Jones was struggling for a while until receiving advice from his dad.
The Republican Party does not have a viable candidate to defeat Obama at the next election. Romney finished third for the GOP nomination four years ago and nothing has changed to make him electable. Michelle Bachman is a Zionist, Huntsman and Pawlenty are wimps and Gingrich has his foot in his mouth. Rick Perry is a possible option, but he is from Texas and will follow an agenda from oil men.
The Swans do not have a first team goalkeeper with the Premiership season about to begin in a little over six weeks. Their Dutch stopper, DeVries, who was a key figure in their success during the past four seasons became a free agent and signed for Wolves as their No.2. The management must surely have had an idea that DeVries would not sign a new contract. Having an experienced and reliable goalkeeper for your first season in the Premiership is an essential element for survival, and they don’t grow on trees.
A Nigerian of dubious character is permitted to board an aircraft using an expired boarding pass belonging to someone else, and produces an invalid ID. In contrast law abiding citizens are groped, patted down, forced to remove belts, shoes and metal objects in the interests of airline security.
The media believed that Andy Murray could beat a healthy Nadal at Wimbledon providing he played aggressively. Are they delusional? I am afraid Murray will mirror his fellow Scotsman, Colin Montgomerie, and fail to win a major/slam. They are good at their respective sports but lack the special ingredient of a true champion.
I first open my eyes in the morning, but as you may agree, with good reason. I do believe I’m turning into a curmudgeon. Does that mean I could change color? Silly me, that would be a chameleon wouldn’t it?
As for the goal keeper, the Swans offered him £14,000 per week. Wolves offered £25,000 per week. What’s a [poor boy to do? But time is ticking on…..
I don’t know about a curmudgeon but are you channelling Victor Meldrew?
Well pay him premiership wages. Now they are bidding 2-3 million for David Stockdale from Fulham which will be much more than awarding Devries a pay rise.
Why do you think Phill Owen has called me Vic for over 20 years?
