Mrs Tabby must be so excited. The tennis !

"British teenager Emma Raducanu continued her fairytale run at the US Open by reaching the semi-finals with a dominant straight-set win over Swiss 11th seed Belinda Bencic".

Raducanu was born on 13 November 2002 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, to a Romanian father and a Chinese mother.


Yes, that seems the very definition of "British" to me. 

I find that Romanian and Chinese makes for quite a fit bird.

As the topic has moved on



Those tiny little white dots are actually flies trapped in one of my spiders's beautiful webs. Nice job. Keeps the flies away from me and also a good show watching the spiders deal with them.

They are very small but at the end of the day the spiders are quite small so a few of those little ones could be quite a nice dinner.

Nice to watch also.



It is actually quite an interesting construction as it is a 3 dimensional web with an unusually large number of structural elements.

I think they are specifically looking for smaller flies. The flies are tiny in fact they might be tiny moths but whatever is happening those spiders definitely seen to know what to do which is a relief.

The rapier-like wit of TB's finest strikes again.

Been there got the t shirt and the answer is no I don't

I always thought being a poof meant being attracted to males in a physical way.

I quite like nattering with other blokes but there is no way I would ever want to see them without clothes. That's just not a nice thought at all.

Younger attractive women however...
