Over in Manhatten, we have a young guy, athlete of the extreme, possibly about to win his first grand slam. I have always kept my cards close, however, approx 12 years ago, got a phone call from a friend of a friend. To cut a long story, we headed up the 45 miles to Dunblane, put down Judy's floors, got well furnished with all sorts of tea and toast. Andy was there. Jamie wasn't. I am the best part of 6'4". and i found myself looking up to him, Great guy. Dead pan sense of humour. Anyway, here is the Roxy connection. Judy Murray loves Bryan Ferry.

I think andy's time has come. If he wins, I will walk the 38 miles miles along the M8 that seperate Glasgow from Embra to give coco the poster I promised her. xx

I had a strange one last week re Andy Murray. I was to meet a Gordon Murray later that day with 2 of my engineers and I was telling them that the first engineer I ever worked with and taught me was a Gordon Murray too who was Andy's uncle. I also knew Andy's other uncle and auntie form the Murray side. I was thinking the engineers didn't believe me.

We went to this meeting and this Gordon Murray that I met was the spitting image of the Gordon I worked with almost 30 years ago. It turned out to be his son and therefore Andy's cousin.

"Never hurry a Murray, they're too good to hurry"

Some of you will be old enough to remember that one



When is the last time you walked to Edinburgh.................it's at least 50 miles these days!!

You are right. Don't blame me, blame the irish girl i have tuned the sat nav into. I stand by her though. It's hillarious when she talks a dirty joke someone has texted. It's more often than not, you. That's my caticism right oot the windae.

I think andy's time has come. If he wins, I will walk the 38 miles miles along the M8 that seperate Glasgow from Embra to give coco the poster I promised her. xx

Enjoy the walk, Gerry! Maybe Roxy will have a foot spa ready to greet you!

Indeed! Round these parts, a bet is a bet, a promise is a promise. Firstly, well done Andy. lasted the first four sets, fell over before the end of the fifth.

I will do the walk October time. Seriously. Have been pining for her and Billy for months.

Before then. I will be hosting a friend from up north, who is coming down to see probably the greatest football team ever to grace a field. European cup winners, multi title winning, swashbuckling exponent's of the great game of football. And Barcelona will be there as well.
