i have a unused shirt, i bought 2 cause i was going to get alex to sign one possibly for future auction, but the way things are going it doesnt look like that will happen.

James · Satellite level

What size is it CountZero? [If you are willing to sell it that is..!]

Count Zero · Tennis legend

i cant remember to be honest, either m or l. and i will give some thought to selling and let you know.

as for meet ups, i've met steven last year at queens.

still recovering.

James · Satellite level

Lol.. do you care to elaborate?! Or is it still too painful and present in the mind to fully open up about yet?

Nps about the shirt, keep it if you're unsure about selling it [no later regrets then!]. What's the design like Count? Might get one made myself.

Count Zero · Tennis legend

i think it is plain white with a small logo over the herat, another another small logo on one of the shoulders and a larger version across the back.

its just the same logo as in the bottom right on the banner at the top of the page.

as for Steven............ no its still too fresh to discuss.

Count Zero · Tennis legend

i can remember one amusing point

Steven: 'look theres Booty'
Me: Who?
S: Buterac, Jamie's doubles partner
M: 'Oh right, Where?'
S: Right there!
M: where!
S: there!!!! (poniting at booty who was was all of 2 yards away and probably easily with earshot!)
M: oh, opps.

James · Satellite level

Eric must have felt quite the 'star'...

Count Zero · Tennis legend

moral of the story dont take me player spotting, unless it's boggo, in which case i can see him from about 4 courts away

steven · Tennis legend

Oh you're in so much trouble, Count ... wink

I'm afraid Booty wasn't within earshot (well, he might have been had it been quiet at the time), but he was well within 'easily recognisable' distance.

I managed to meet six people from here and/or Rusedski.co.uk last year and rather more, if somewhat fleetingly (and accidentally), from AM.com (they hunt in packs more than we do, but little chance to have much of a conversation) - the most common question I was asked "What - have you actually met sheddie, what's he like?"mainly from people I had assumed knew him much better than I did. My answer will forever remain a state secret. LOL

By the way, it really is much more fun watching a match (especially one involving a Brit) with a fellow tennis fan who's on a similar wavelength than just sat next to someone who's just there for the occasion / Pimms, etc (not that there's anything wrong with the latter!) - I highly recommend it! smile

That applies even if it's sheddie you are watching the match with, though the drool might be a bit off-putting if it was a women's match. wink

James, I think it was Drew who organised the T-shirts last time so he might have the design still. But Count described it pretty accurately, there were a few of us who got them when the Britishtennis.net site was first added to the forum.

As for meeting Steven, I managed to survive the experience but then perhaps I'm made of sterner stuff than the Count?

I arranged them before. It had the BT.net logo on the back, down one arm and small chest logo. Looked great !

I wore mine in the press box at the DC tie v Holland.

I was thinking of getting a fleece with the logo for this years DC tie ?

steven u met the shed!!!

i feel for you. did you remember to bring your drool proof clothes.

i haven't met the shed yet. he is too ashamed after his hammering in the latest pickem

btw in the post above when i mentioned auctioning a shirt signed by boggo it would be for charity not for me, just to clear that up.

Surely they'll have to choose a venue somewhere between Dunblane and Paisley, seeing there won't be any English interest in the match ... ?

We're claiming Boggo!
