Dull dull dull dull dull dull dull!
Would rather watch American Football or the Varsity Boat Race (or watch the grass grow).

I'm currently at a crossroads, where I can go N or S.
There is an alcove in the wall here, with a statue of a Faerie Dragon.
To the North, I can hear gurgling water. To the West I can see a glowing light. There are no other exits. The air in the cave is wet and tasts of tapioca pudding. Gordon Brown is here.

It's behind you...

My recommendation is court 13 and 18 if you have ground passes.
Futurewife is a member of the Wimbledon Club opposite so I've driven past it a few times.
Edit - found a map http://aeltc.wimbledon.org/images/about/2008_3d_map.pdf - 13 is no more...

We were once watching Conchita Martinez on 13, and she was saying 'point' every time she scored one, which was annoying her opponent no end. When we (at the front, no more than 3 metres away from her) started doing the same when Conchita lost a point - she really didn't like that at all - kept looking around and scowling but couldn't see it was us. She lost that game. Never did like her.

Be sure to take advantage of the discounted food and free drinks at the 'buttery' if you get the meal ticket with your umpires pass - and borrow your mate's umpires pass for a game on Centre while he/she's on a break.
Yes, yes - I know this is a contractors' board - but without 14k+ or a membership of the club there's no way of guaranteeing a seat for any game - but it's part of the charm. (I don't love tennis that much to spend that much. Not yet anyway).

Originally posted by realityhack View PostI go there every year - have done for nearly 10 years. Will be there next Thur-Fri-Sat. Couldn't get tickets for 'the peoples' Saturday' obviously so will be queuing up overnight - it's a laugh though, keep meeting the same people in the queue.
