Meat Loaf Helps Brittish Tennis Star Win!
 

He's right Bat out of hell is a quality song...still don't understand why they have to spell Meat Loaf as one word.

Shall we send Andy a Bat3 shirt to wear at Wimbledon?

And just incase anyone at Mercury is reading this.........that would be what we call PROMOTION.

Perhaps we should include a complement slip with the website address on.... Oh, hang on, don't we already have an Andy? Who regularly jets off all over the place? *thinks....*

Damn my cover's blown :lmao:

No, you're mistaken, this is the Andy that plays with balls whilst our Andy just...........talks...............nah this is just too easy!!!!

:shock: LOL :lawl: Now thats funny

I refer you to go and read my posted thought ... while I go off to practise my backhand smash ...

:twisted: I thought tennis was meant to be played with a racket, not a Bat :mrgreen:

Although playedtoo loud, the umpire might complain of all the racket going on :lol:

I was gonna post this story, I see someone beat me to it!:lol:
Saw it in the Daily Mail, and although they managed to spell "Meat Loaf" right, the reporter then said something about the elation of the day making him make such a confession:roll:
I see Murray's coach, Brad Gilbert, is influencing him for the better not just in the tennis but in the music tastes!:mrgreen: Was pretty chuffed to see the article, though, I follow the tennis, especially Andy Murray.
And, congratulations to him on the title second year in a row! :cheer:

:twisted: It would actually be a good move on Meat's part to send the guy two tickets to a concert.

That is something that would make the papers.

When we get the fan club T shorts sorted he can have a couple of those!

when ??????

They'll be ready when they're ready, which won't be long, just getting some final details ironed out.

:twisted: Good, because we don't want them creased :bleh:

I'll getme coat :oops:

As long as it doesn't clash with Wimbledon!:shock: :lol:
Otherwise it may look like some sort of conspiracy to get Andy Murray out of the way so Roddick has a slightly better chance!:lol: Now, if only they could get that genuis Federer out of the way, too........
You never know, Brad Gilbert might already have the two of them lined up to go to a concert.

T-SHORTS eh? Do they match the T-shirts?

It'll have to be a while t-shirt, though, or it might not be allowed for breach of dress code! The other grand slams aren't too fussed, but Wimbledon is the biggest one.
Although if Andrew Castle can walk out on court in a leather jacket, I don't see how they could complain about a Bat III t-shirt!:lawl:

I have tickets for Wimbledon this year. They are for centre court on the first day so I doubt it will be for Andy's match.

Am green with envy! hopefully it won't rain that day, you know what Wimbledon does to the English weather!:lol: You never know, you might get to see him play if he's in that half of the draw:)
I will get to Wimbledon one day! Me and Mam will go and I'll get one of those oversized tennis balls and get as many autographs as I can!

Getting tickets is a lottery each year (unless you're very well connected - which I ain't!!).

You apply in August and your application goes into a ticket draw. If you're lucky you get a letter offering you the tickets and then in February you get your allocation and have to cough up the dough. :(

This is my first attempt and I got lucky. A guy at work tried for years without success until last year. Mind you I would hate to have sat next to him! He's harmless, but an old batchelor who lives on his own so needs to talk to you every time you pass. I re-route myself daily!! :roll:

I used to work with a woman who was an avid Wimbledon fan, and every year, she'd go round the office getting people to write their name and address on an envelope for her to send off, on the understanding that any ticket wins that came back would be hers... She did quite well out of it too!

Well, I may not be going to Wimbledon in the strawberries and cream, most prestigious tennis tournament in the world sense, but I am going to Wimbledon in the Davis Cup GB v Croatia sense! Me and Mam just booked three day tickets!!!!:D Am rather excited, but hope it doesn't clash with important dates about going back to university!:shock: Should be Ok though, it's the day after Davis Cup finishes that I go back:-)
My brother's going to first day of Wimbledon through work, a cause of much jealousy from Mam, so we're going to Davis. This means a player I don't like won't be there, and a player I do like will be there!:cool:
Anyway, let's hope Andy and everyone else I want to see play there will be fit and well :D

Had a really good time at the Davis Cup tie the other weekend! Crowds were very noisy and funny, it didn't rain, and we won!:D Was a little miffed they didn't play a Meat song, didn't really expect them to, but it would have been funny to have the peace and tranquility of SW19 shattered by Bat!:lol:
Saw Andy Murray and Tim Henman play twice, and Jamie Murray in the doubles with Henman. Jamie Baker was put on for the last match when the tie was won.
Got some quite good photos, and we had good seats so our heads weren't flicking back and forwards with every hit of the ball. Lots of young people and children there, and lots of flags. The papers said it was more like last night of the proms than a tennis match, I was thinking more along the lines of the Coliseum in its heyday :lol:
Despite a couple of glitches like me forgetting our Oyster cards and having to stay in three hotels over three nights we really enjoyed it. I will never forget the roar that greeted Jamie Murray when he led the GB team out.





Oh, and Andy smiled! :lol:

Let's all wish Andy the best of luck tonight when he plays his first Grand Slam semi-final in New York! That is, if it will be played tonight: apparently there's a storm heading for the Big Apple...
Anyway, whenever it is, come on, Andy! You can beat that annoying, grunting, time-wasting, unsporting Spanish bloke!

:cheer:

Well done, Andy! Knew you could do it! Have never been so proud of you :) It's been a long time coming, but it was worth the wait! Now that match is over I can now get back to the fundamentals like eating, drinking and sleeping!lol
Now to beat Federer for the title!

he did well, maybe it was a leap too soon for him to beat Federer in a major final such as this, but it gives him something build on

Yeah, with hindsight perhaps it was a bit too much to ask, but am still immensely proud of him :) This is meant as a joke, but I blame Gordon Brown for his loss! ;) The second I heard Brown had sent him a letter wishing him luck I knew that was the end of it!lol Still, was very nice of him to do so :)

Me and Mum went to the Davis Cup last weekend, and I managed to get Andy and Jamie's autographs!!! I got a pleasant surprise to see Jamie walking past me on the Saturday, and Mam got the fright of her life on Sunday when she turned round to find herself practically eyeball to eyeball with Andy! :lol:

Wouldn't be the most thrilling of experiences, he's no oil painting...for all the talent he has, he still sounds like a train spotter when he's being interviewed

Actually we find him rather good looking! :) Unconventional, yes, but good looking nonetheless. Anyway, it's always thrilling being so close to someone you admire for whatever reason :) Even that Scottish drawl sounds charming in the flesh, so to speak. I'd rather listen to Andy than for example Gavin Henson or David Beckham ;)

Andy's just admitted to liking Meat Loaf in front of 17,000 people in the O2 arena, not to mention the TV audience! He's just won his third and last round robin match to qualify for the semi-finals at the ATP World Tour Finals, despite losing one match.

During the post-match interview the interviewer said "I think Meat Loaf said it best, 'Two Out of Three Ain't Bad'...I know that's probably not your kind of music..."; and Andy grinned and said "No, I like Meat Loaf, 'Bat Out of Hell' is a great song!"

Made me doubly happy after the win! :mrgreen:

I'd been listening to Meat just before watching the match, too! lol

Hah, that's fantastic! Not as fantastic as digging up an almost 4 year old post! :)
