There is fekk all else up there, unless they are looking for their granny in row 36

I suppose this self-absorbed little ego feed is pretty natural and hard to resist but you would think it would interrupt their concentration and the real-time flow of the game for them. A few players really seem to stick out in this regard and have their eyes constantly cast upwards. Maybe you have noticed them too. I wonder what coaches think of this, or do they even notice. I suppose they could call every peep a learning experience.

I blame the fact that my upbringing was so middle-class that telly watching was quite regulated and it was never left on as background noise. I bet I'd be hypnotised if I was playing in a game with a big screen.

Yes. I have to admit it, I find these two week gaps in the 6N schedule boring and would like to see the tournament played on successive weekends and keeping up a head of steam (despite injury/rest concerns.)
While we're at it, here's another :- Will Dewi Morris ever learn how to pronounce Garbisi? He's only had several years to work on it, mind, and it does have three syllables.
