I am going to Wimbledon on Friday, got some centre court tickets through my LTA membership. Should be nice.

Yeah, saw that forecast unfortunately. Very annoying. If it rains I hope it rains for a whole week non-stop so they make more of the second week available to the public like they did a few years ago.

Yep, roll-on a third Monday.
I'll most definitely be taking that day off should it happen, and be in the queue from Sunday afternoon.

Have you heard that there's only one queue this year? Strange - hope it's not the South one, otherwise we'll be into Wimbledon Common - and all the best tickets will go to those camped at the side of the road.

Anyway, back on topic - anyone else going this year? OS - apparently the weather's going to hold until the weekend, so it's shorts, T-shirt and brolly weather again.

I think so - she's teaching me, but the most effective thing she said was 'keep your eye on the ball'. I keep looking across court to where I want the ball to go, just before hitting it into the net. It is good playing against someone way better than you, gives you a goal to aim for.

Not exactly a sport, but I have been playing boardgames then computer games for close on thirty years, I am talking serious games , not fun games. I entered a couple of national championships in the eighties and did well. So I took the missus to the mind Olympiad a couple of years ago in London, we played a game called Carcasonne(which is a semi fun game) and I was pontificating for weeks on how she should handle the game and the competition.

She came away with a trophy and I got fck-all squared




hey ho

Its that 20% that just takes enough off the contractors pay to make the money not quite enough to have fun with

On the contrary, I would regard a man who has no problem with his wife being better than him at sport or earning more money than him as being considerably stronger than the drippy insecure macho man who has to win everything.

If you dont make any posts directed at me, I am sure you will be fine, it is pretty easy really. But we both know you wont be capable of that.

Ah, check it. Hey Tay! Tay!
