By a long way, the best thing about Andy Murray's rise through the tennis rankings, would appear to be the fact that as a consequence, the BBC have bought rights to all the slams, according to this.

Brilliant!

[Yudster]

That will encourage me to take a greater interest in tennis, definitely.

Murray > Henman. For this reason alone.

No there is the reason that Murray has actually won something as well, oh and as he is Scottish it makes him > by birth also.

[MK Chris]

Henman won a Masters trophy - which is (at the moment) as much as Murray has won (although Murray has two I think and Henman only won one.) Henman had six Grand Slam semis (four at Wimbledon) to Murray's one (although Murray won his semi to reach the final and Henman lost all six of his.) Despite this, in my opinion, he is a better player than Henman ever was.... although he is an odious twat.

He may win the Australian or the US this year, but he'll never win the French or Wimbledon.

[Andy B]

A big useless pile of steaming turd > Henman.

My thoughts on this are well documented.

[Yudster]

I never liked Tim Henman. Too whiney. Until Andy Murray came along and I realised that Tim Henman's whining was as nothing compared to the heights achievable by a world class whiner like the curly Scot. He can play a bit though, which is more than Henman could. And he has a brother whom I find strangely attractive - probably because unlike his brother, Jamie Murray actually seems to like playing tennis.

[Munki Bhoy]

I still can't take a Scot being one of the highest ranked tennis players seriously. I keep wondering where the blamange is.

being drunk and i keep choking on bacon

[Boboff]

You like a bit of pork in your mouth then cat?

Ok very obvious, sorry.

As for Tennis, Toph, I bow to your knowledge on it, I personally find it all very boring indeed. As for not liking Henman or Murray, I really think that the press has more to do with the negative perceptions we have of both, in interview I have found both to be really very normal.

Making me smile is a day off after sawing up logs for seven days and having a great big pile of them in a place where I can get at them come rain or shine. I really do ache though my hands hurt so much so, I had trouble unscrewing the TCP bottle to anoint the cuts on hands and legs ! Ahhhh.

*sings* P. O. S. H. P. O. S. H. Posh! *sings*

Is that because it's from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang or because you think my Grandad's posh?

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Although I'm sure you're Grandad is posh too!

Apologies for the double post, but taking pleasure out of Zavvi's pain yesterday is still making me smile. I got 21 DVD's (not rubbish ones either), 2 cd's, a board game and a book all for £48! Plus, I also took advantage of the CRAZY prices down at Bench. One top was £52 but it went down to £20; which was a bargain considering it was a decent, thick, wooly top too!

I popped in there today but didn't have time to join the queue. I am considering whether £10 for the Spaced boxset is worth it; judging from opinions of people on here, it probably is.

What DVDs did you get?

Blimey. Here's the few that I can remember getting:
The full Rocky boxset
Evan Almighty
The complete Home Alone boxset (Don't mock me, it was christmas at the time)
Both Kill Bill films
The Assassination of Jessie James (definitely worth £3 - it was shite)
Juno
How to murder your wife
Independence Day
Bad Boys 2
Good Luck Chuck
Hitch
Wimbledon
Con-Air

I'd definitely go for the boxset. Purely for the fact that Boxsets never come down in price.

My mate also got some vouchers for Zavvi for christmas which is a bitch as I think he got about £40.

[MK Chris]

Blimey. Here's the few that I can remember getting:
...

Your local store obviously dropped prices more than mine; although I did get a few bits and pieces.

[Andy B]

Boboff - my missus dad uses a chainsaw. Mind you he's got a 200 year old tree in his back garden which blew down recently so he doesn't have to go far and the chainsaw makes short work of it.

[rustybike]

Yeah. Although I did spend a wee couple of hours searching for those. It was like something from the Crystal Maze what with buggies, children and the urge to grap a DVD before someone else.

[pjordan2000]

Watched Russell Howards DVD on Friday and found it really funny which is a surprise as he is awful on Mock the Week!

Oh and i got a new flat!!

[MK Chris]

I don't think he's awful on Mock the Week, but he was much funnier when I went to see him.

[Munki Bhoy]

I'm going to see him in June. The missus thinks he's great. I quite enjoyed his DVD. Not the best one I got at Christmas though, that's still Michael McIntyre for me.

[MK Chris]

Oh, Michael McIntyre is extremely funny. I know a guy who is very hard to please with comedians (and a lot of other things actually) and he finds him very funny.

[Munki Bhoy]

I found myself trying the arm swinging thing while walking the other day. It did seem to propel me that little bit faster. I stopped short at attempting to skip though.

I think Michael McIntyre's next on the list of folk to see live.

[unclejoesmintballs]

i got all of the available mock the week star's dvd's and the one that disapointed me the most was frankie's the whole thing was a let down

[MK Chris]

I thought Frankie Boyle's DVD was very funny.

[Bonanzoid]

Frankie Boyle is an absolute legend. Disregarding the completely sick jokes he sometimes comes out with, I think the fact he's willing to push the boundaries is admirable. The UK's far too sensitive about nearly everything nowadays anyway.

[unclejoesmintballs]

i do think hes fantastic on mock the week but wasnt impressed with his stand up to me he looked bored throughout

[MK Chris]

I haven't mentioned this while it's been going on, but my oldest friend, who has been through unimaginably hard times recently - through a bad relationship with a person who ended up making extremely serious and totally false accusations about him to the police - has had the case against him dropped because the forensics proved what everyone who knew him knew all along. There are some nasty, nasty people in this world.

[Munki Bhoy]

Glad to hear that Topher. Injustice is bad enough without spiteful nasty folk. It's good to know this one's had a happy ending.
