The Cellar - View Single Post

I'm not a tennis fan, but I heard on 5 Live (BBC sports station that the radio in the bathroom is tuned into) about someone quitting a match halfway through because of the heat. I was shampooing, so am vague on the details

We sent my cousin a photo of Dad scraping frost off the car this week, because she couldn't get over how funny it sounded. I mean of course she knows there is cold weather in the world, but it weirds her out to think her own Uncle would have to do that in England. They live in Brisbane, but I was talking to my Aunt just yesterday (lots of family business going on at the mo) and she asked whether we'd been hearing about their (Australia's) weather.

We get much more coverage here than in America because of the historical and familial links, but even I feel I hear more in the Cellar than on the news. Then again, isn't that always the way!

Have they started using the word, "Scorchio!" yet? Don't know if you got The Fast Show over there... Boutros Boutros-Ghali.
