Today was the men’s final of the Wimbledon tennis and there were great expectations of the
man from Scotland Andy Murray he won the first set I noticed on the wireless;
then I sort of lost interest. I have to admit to not being a fan of such things
and was showing a bit of interest because he is the first Brit in a final for
seventy odd years, he is also a Scot “Away the lads” and finally the Chicken had
said he had found a way in through a hole in the fence and was planning to hide
out under the umpires chair and watch.
Anyway
I switched on the radio later expecting to hear of Andy Murray's great win only
to hear he was about to loose. Apparently he said afterwards that he was
distracted by a bloody chicken on centre court. The chicken says it was not him,
but I have seen a photo on the internet which is very suspicious indeed.
We have also pinned down
the issue with the main power tripping out in the house, it appears to be
linked to the central heating system. Well I say the central heating system
because it appears this is where dad has also connected his rain machine hoping
that no one would notice he has powered it up yet again. Mum has told dad he is
an IDIOT and is torching it with the flame thrower as I speak (type) yet again.
The chicken is celebrating
with raspberries and ice cream after a rather substantial win on who would win
the Tennis. The dog says they were fairly confident (him and the chicken) that Andy
Murray would loose particularly as he does not like chickens, although the
chicken is yet again saying it was not him (her) but a similar looking chicken.
I have to admit I can’t tell the difference between chickens so he (her) is
probably telling the truth… Mum just said IDIOT again now?
Yeah, I missed all of the tournament. I was rooting for Murray for a change to break that old record, even though I like Federer. Oh, well, maybe next year.
ReplyDeleteWell if nothing else Mr Murray has managed to do a great public PR job and he still gets a cheque for half a million pounds so it is not all bad...
DeleteI hear that, due to Andy Murray's success, they've created a brand of mints named after him.
ReplyDeleteThey are hoping that after his eighth attempt to win he might even have two mints named after him.
DeleteStill you cant hurry a Andy.
The only reason I know that he lost is because it was all over facebook. I really don't care about tennis! Or football...or any sport at all, really! The chicken sounds a bit suspicious, there's a lot of evidence going against him! :)
ReplyDeleteIndeed Miss Laura that chicken is very suspicious indeed, although he did say he really went to London to see a friend in Peckham........
DeleteMy heart actually broke during his interview!! Federers a living legend though
ReplyDeleteHe lost the match but won the public...
Delete(Don't let your chicken read this: I just got finished eating some leftover oriental food from supper last night and it had meat from a ... c-h-i-c-k-e-n. I hope your chicken won't be too upset when it finds out that humans eat ...um... certain birds. Or does he/she already know about this?)
ReplyDeleteIt is a street wise chicken Mr ESB; it has crossed the road..... Sorry I missed your comment until now
