Alas, pigale, I work in a shop (Leicestershire Air Ambulance) so no radios are allowed. I can use their computer - but on a limited basis!
Yes, would love to see more competition from the other riders, think it will be quite a battle for 2nd and 3rd places.
Must log off for now. Enjoy your afternoon!

Hi Rusty !

What heat on that Tourmalet day ! And to think tomorrow will be the same if not hotter - on another monster day.

Well done R. Majka (he likes the heat apparently), and pleased for Tinkoff-Saxo.

Another bonus too : Voeckler has decided to join the race in earnest ! 5th place, that's not too bad I guess, but he'll have to go some if he wants to catch up - and so will Contador.

Another eagle today, did you see it?

Hi Elle
Dont forget there are some highlights of the Monaco Diamond league on Saturday.I suppose the next big one is the anniversary games and then the worldchampionships.Still awaiting hospital results so may go up over the weekend

Hello, Doglet!
It's a good job you told me - I hadn't realised - this will be the tenth Diamond League, now, won't it?
I've just had a look in the TV guide and have marked it off - so hopefully I will now remember!
And guess what? there are three hours of the second day of the Davis Cup to follow! All on BBC2
So a good afternoon's viewing!
but I can't find if the FIRST day of the Davis Cup is shown anywhere? it's certainly not on BBC2 because that is golf coverage.

Is there anybody out there?

I am here Albie - the Forum is very quiet, and my connection keeps on breaking off!

Hello Pigale

My apologies for my absence. I thought that the cricket part of this thread had stopped - or had been swamped by cycling!
I am glad you have the tea towel. It really is funny and I can imagine that a French version would be even funnier, particularly if the rules were spoken and the speaker maintained a 'straight' face!
I have not ordered a towel but I have given several hints to my wife that a new one is wanted but the best I can hope for is a present from Papa Noel!
The 2nd Test match, at the HQ of cricket (Lords) starts tomorrow. I have some friends who are going but I can't join them. Boo hoo!

Hi Kenyatta
I am looking forward to todays match but not too hopeful as Australia seem to making waves according to the press,will have to listen to the radio commentary as will be travelling,but that will remind me of the time before TV.I dont really care for Mr Boycott but will ignore him

Hello Doglet
I, too, shall be travelling but can't listen to TMS in the car as I have recently acquired a newer one and, to my horror, have discovered that the radio doesn't have BBC Radio 4 Long Wave!
Mind you, I would have felt a bit idiotic wandering around a car showroom judging models by what radio bands they have!
England to win again.

Good Morning Kenyatta,

Hope your weather will be decent for the Cricket match and not too hot - here it is already 30C at 9.30 am French time!
The riders are going to sufficate!

Yes, I'm delighted to have found, thanks to you, the tea cloth; I had forgotten how funny it is and had never thought of getting one from Amazon.

Now, I'll be watching a lot of cycling, but perhaps the second half of the stage only, and coverage does not start until 2pm anyway; hence I'll put Radio 4 on and enjoy the commentary !

Strange thing for a car not to have BBC 4 !
