    I am tempted to say that atw pays hundreds for 10 seconds of action. But judging from his posts he is still a virgin.

      I'm not going anywhere near London but I might nip down to Weymouth to see how they're stopping the general public from watching on the beach.
      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        Wimbledon Number 1 Court. No idea who will be playing at this point in time.
        Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

          Not just the beach, cliff top car parks too, apparently.

          But frankly, what are you really going to be able to see? It'll be like watching cricket; they all look the same and they're too far away to see what's going on.

                I would rather pay to see that than the olympics.
                While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                    And pay over the top for a return ticket to London, queue up for hours to get through security. Not permitted to take any food or drink inside and pay over the odds the same once inside. Sit on an uncomfortable seat behind to spoilt kid farting and throwing popcorn in order to watch some arrogant athlete fail and blame it on his sponsors shoes. No thanks
