Subject: RE: BS: Our Emma (Raducanu) - Tennis
She can pass exams too! So far, I haven't heard that she can play jigs and reels on the harmonica...
Now then, Dave. Time to remind these curmudgeons that preceding someone's name with "our" is a very affectionate northernism, as in "our Dave" or "our Eric." Usually reserved for family members, of course, but not necessarily exclusively in m'humble.
And Joe. The word tennis appeared in the first post in the thread! I can only assume that you spent Saturday and Sunday with the telly and radio off, with your curtains drawn and with your headphones delivering continuous 150-decibel heavy metal in your attempt to drown out the world outside...
Anyway, all that aside I see that our Novak slipped up... ;-)
