Looking at the different sports she has done and education she is probably good at everything she tries.

Yup, you'll be happy to know Pharvey she's an F1 fanatic and is/was a keen go-karter and motocross girl!

Many strings to the young lady's bow. :D

Edit: I do hope she was warned to keep her distance from the many radical left attendees at that gala, mind. A lot of underlying hatred for others at the event. She seems to have a good team around her.

Indeed she is Lindos - I was just making a joke regards to fashion (?). She will no doubt go far, great looks, great talent and a great brain.

She speaks fluent Mandarin as well.



And I wouldn't be at all surprised to find she speaks Romanian, either.

I'm not sure I follow. You mentioned she's good at tennis, I mentioned she speaks Mandarin. It was a perfectly anodyne comment.

As some of you know, I'm standing for the overseas mod position at the next moderators' election, but I haven't really laid out my policy. So let me give you an example:
GroveHillWanderer wrote: Tue Sep 14, 2021 7:28 pm It was a perfectly anodyne comment.
I would sanction GroveHillWanderer for using the word 'anodyne'. Members like Lost, sateeb, lindosfan and pharvey will be diving for their dictionaries, and it displays a distinct lack of consideration to make people feel inferior in this way. Homer used to do this a lot before he sought asylum in Greece, though he went one step further by actually posting the accompanying dictionary definition. :tsk:

I would also authorise a Board Bundle on pharvey. Everybody gets one free insult, no repercussions. No particular reason for that, just that it would be fun.

I know I can count on your votes, fellow members. Have a good day.
:cheers: :cheers:

Anodyne. Mr DM I don't have to look it up in the dictionary because I know it's how posh people pronounce Anadin :laugh: :laugh:

Guess what - she does!

Here's a clip of her replying in what apparently sounds like fluent Romanian to a fan, after the US Open Final.
