Carpe Your Own Knickerum - Leave Mine Alone
Ormondroyd Posted Jul 8, 2001
A bit harsh on Ivanisevic, I think. Remember, he had to ask for a special "wild card" entry to come to Wimbledon at all - he didn't qualify. He's not even in the top 100 in the world. We might be upset that his Timness has lost, but Ivanisevic's achievement in getting to the final is amazing. It's like a non-league team getting to the FA Cup final!

how did that happen?

Well, I'm not sure. Possibly it was a case of great serving and sheer determination on the part of Ivanisevic. But I have already commented on Ivanisevic's striking resemblance to Mark Moxon. I'm not definitely saying that this site's editor has taken Ivanisevic's place - but it might explain the sudden, dramatic improvement in his form...

Don't get me wrong it's just that I've been wearing these knickers for a while and the fluff is starting to wear away.

It should be time for this shop's closing-down sale! After all, this is the last day of the 
! So you should be able to get some fresh knickers, Feisor, and there should be some cheap 
for you, Ekki!

What!?? The shop has to be closed down!??
Pat's an Aussie!?? Goran's the Brit then!?? By the time I get this sorted, it'll be finished... ::sigh::
If the Frilly Knicker Shop closes, which would be an ABSOLUTE SHAME, then... That Pantaloon Parlor is going to make a lot of money...
I made some new friends here!!! Well, I met fellow BEATLE fan Feisor here, and I did the Can't-Can't with Ekki!!! And I get to talk a LITTLE more with Ormy!!! ::sobs:: This is a special place...

You can talk to me anytime, Dragonfly! You know where I can often be found, don't you? (Hint: 
)
The is over. The men's final was won by Goran Ivanisevic, the Croatian outsider and Mark Moxon lookalike, who beat the Aussie Pat Rafter in a great final. Goran had previously beaten the Brit, Tim Henman, in the semi-finals.
As to whether this shop stays open, I guess that's up to the proprietor, Abi! She might let you take over now that the is over...

As First Knickerer I'll make sure we don't get closed down ... we might have to diversify but we won't be closed down ...
