9 days to go The ladies doubles game I was watching yesterday petered out quickly today with a victory for the comedy duo. Sometimes it's easy to single out for praise people who have been ill, just out of sympathy really. But Corina Morariu's return from chemotherapy after leukemia is an inspiring story. I saw her being interviewed on TV and she certainly lived up to her motto of "hard work and modesty".  It's a funny old world So, the joker who called "out" causing British hero Rudeski to flip his lid and crash out of Wimbledon is now giving interviews with the BBC. I would have condemned this roundly except the content revealed the remarkable prescience of Colin's Countdown. As exclusively revealed here 2 days ago, the perpetrator is indeed a football hooligan. With a brain the size of a dinosaur into the bargain - here are some genuine quotes: I didn't understand the rules and I thought the point would be replayed. (Like he foresaw the whole series of events? Right) I'm a football fan and I like the crowd to get involved in the game. (He probably had a tennis racquet with him just in case) He admitted shouting at Venus Williams at the French Open. (What self respecting football fan would go to watch Venus Williams in Paris??) If Greg calls me, I will pay his fine. (If only Rudeski has not been let off with such a pathetically small fine) 9:13:13 PM    comment []
