Jul. 24th, 2008 07:50 amSo I didn't check the tennis results before I went to get breakfast. I just assumed.
Mum: He didn't do very well in the tennis did he?
Me: ...What?
Mum: Oh. Thought you'd know. Sorry.
Me: What?
Dad: Well, Noddy won.
Me: Yes.
Dda: Murray won.
Me: Yes
Dad: Freddy didn't.
Me:...Oh.
Oh Roger. Just keep swimming. This'll fix itself, if you let it. And maybe never ever play in any year ending in 8 again.

Noddy? =P
