Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

he's marginally more attractive that bernie ecclestone, though his wallet is not as stunningly fat
nick faldo is/was more charismatic!

i thought djokovic would win a close match. wrong.
i also thought that if he lost he would at least get 1 set. probably 2.
wrong again
so whats new ?

Djokovic looked tired. His first serves seemed to lack pace. Not up to the job on the day. Not even a close contest as you say jkd. Murray had harder qualifying matches.

did i Really say that ? LoL

''i thought djokovic would win a close match. wrong'' you said and I said ''Not even a close contest as you say jkd''

I wish I could have got as close as Djokovic.

Wimbledon 2013 Prize Money: Complete Purse and Earnings from All England Club

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1690120-wimbledon-2013-prize-money-complete-purse-and-earnings-from-all-england-club

Andy Murray has donated his £1.6m prize money to Cancer Research and Royal Marsden Hospital.

An odd comparison - Andy Murray - a man who has designated over half of his life to his chosen sport - a prime example of the ultimate athlete, and Bernie Ecclestone - bizarre.

totally irrelevant .... in the above i was comparing their visual appeal, and AM's (lack of) charisma with that of nick faldo

Haystack,

Personally, I would have said the biggest headache facing web designers nowadays is accommodating all of the different screen resolutions and getting the important bits of their content to display above the fold. Cross-browser compatibility shouldn't even be an issue if a page is W3 compliant. And even if the designer is using some kind of desktop HTML editing software or a CMS script or an off the shelf theme then, once the designer has spent a bit of time at the outset in getting the master template page(s) W3 compliant, all of the content should just drop in.

In the case of the Halifax site, I seem to recall that some of their errors were very basic, such as including tags for table rows and cells into the code before declaring the table itself. There's no excuse for that whatsoever and it shouldn't take them more than a few minutes to tidy the code up to ensure cross-browser compatibility. It probably takes them longer to provide the customer support and advise clients like 3m to change browser than it would do to fix the errors.

What the hell has charisma got to do with sporting achievement? Nick Faldo was a clothes horse for Pringle sweaters. Compared to Sevy, Faldo was a boring golfer. Well done Andy Murray!

also irrelevant :-) ...... spot the key word CHARISMA

I thought you were comparing his looks with eccles?

"he's marginally more attractive that bernie ecclestone, though his wallet is not as stunningly fat nick faldo is/was more charismatic!"

Lets face it a blancmange has more charisma than Faldo and is more attractive than Ecclestone.

Well done Murray - a fantastic achievement!

Well Hilary I have enabled firefox this morning and it hasn't made one jot of difference so have rung the Halifax and am awaiting a phone call, I doubt they will ring back so if not I shall go to the local branch again and heaven help them. I really don't need this stress at this moment in time. Nearly every single time I go to sign in it goes into freeze mode and if on the odd occasion it accepts my password etc. and I go into valuation, account management etc., it freezes and won't go any further until I get out of the dam thing. Ugh! what an outfit, I just cannot believe it worked fine for years. Oh! happy days. Will inform you later of the outcome if any, I shan't hold my breath.

indeed very well done AM, and assuredly some of the shots and rallies were outstanding or even amazing ..... but that doesn't mean i have to warm to the guy one little bit

Just had a very nice lady on and up and running now. It was in my favourites bar and out of date as they are updating all the time. Google Chrome apparently did not like the website so firefox has done the trick. Wish this could have been done last Wed., in the bank, however it is now. Many thanks all - tehnology very clever but a pain when it creates a problem as we all know.

cynic - if you watch the documentary on BBC tonight "Andy Murray - the man behind the racquet" then you might begin to understand the guy and what makes him tick.

as i am on holiday in provence, i am spared that, not that i would watch even if i was at home ....... sort of sorry, but i just don't care for the chap any more than one could warm to nick faldo
