Brambles Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 As they say in Glasgow - yeah Right! I agree though, he really does not smile very often, I think he could make more effort to smile for the crowd. People do warm to a big wide beaming smile.

I agree though, he really does not smile very often, I think he could make more effort to smile for the crowd. People do warm to a big wide beaming smile. I'd rather he remained 'as himself' and concentrate on his game. ( Remember, Gordon Brown has been told he should smile more - what a mistake that was ! ) ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightrider Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 I am sorry that Murray was beaten in this important match and was hoping that he would win, I have nothing against his Scots nationality my post was purely and simply that he did not appear to smile very much, his grimaces and cavernous gaping mouth was a little off putting to me.

davenewellhome Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Yet another KOTR "look at me, I can start a thread" posting of nil consequence! Why not judge Andy Murray on his performance on court rather than his "smilability"? KOTR once criticised me for referring to Susan boyle as having a face like like a melted wellie but now he's happy to criticise Murray on similar terms, although he couches them by saying he read it in a paper somewhere! Come on Malcolm, stand up and be counted for once, if you have a comment to make say it in your own words, don't hide behind a third party. D.

Come on Malcolm, stand up and be counted for once, if you have a comment to make say it in your own words, don't hide behind a third party. D. Dave, It seems to me that you like having a dig at me for some reason? I did not say that I read it somewhere in a newspaper and who is the third party that I am supposedly hiding behind? All I said was that he does not appear to smile so much, is that an insult to the man? I was rooting for the man to win and was disappointed that he lost and I made no derogortory remarks as to his skill and prowess as a tennis player. And further more whats the meaning of your snide remark Yet another KOTR "look at me, I can start a thread" what is your problem with me starting a thread? I did not criticise Andy Murray I only passed an observation that he is not much of a smiler which several members appear to agree with. As for you comment re Susan Boyle that was uncalled for considering the woman has one or two personal issues to overcome. So come on Dave, you stand up and be counted and lets hear what you have got against me? If you dont like what I post or if you don't like the regularity of my posts then say so or have a word with the mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightrider Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 dave, You say that my posts are of "nil consequence" I don't send them in for accolades, they just come into my head. Your posts are not exactly earth shattering are they? At least my posts come from the heart and are not trawled down from elsewhere on the internet.

As for you comment re Susan Boyle that was uncalled for considering the woman has one or two personal issues to overcome. When Andy Murray was at school, the same mass murderer who used to be the leader of the boys club I went to, killed sixteen kids and their teacher in a classroom next door to him.

Football.....no Rugby........no decent prime ministers.....no tennis.... obviously not cricket.....no wearing skirts.....yes whingeing......definitely world champions at anything......no continually complaining about how you hate England and the English, then all moving here for a better life........No need to answer that one is there. Please feel free to add to the above list. And try to remember, it is the media who refered to him as British ( which, until Scotland attains total independance including funding, then he is, whether he likes it or not) not the general population of England. *-) *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tracker Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Nice list Donna. However there is one bunch of would be anarchists - would be anarchists because they need English money to survive - that make the Scots look sensible. And the winner is - The Welsh - a nation with a fine future firmly behind them - and in particular Plaid Cymru - what a bunch of inward looking whingeing hypocrits. Not all Welsh people are like this it must be said - mainly the politicians falling over themselves to be seen to be politically correct. At the moment it is still a nice place to live in spite of the Welsh Assembly cocking up health, ambulance service, transport and education and reducing them all to alevel below the standards that apply in England. And they want more law making powers - ye gods and little fishes - it beggars belief! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
