Re: Wimbledon.

Got so many tales to tell I could write a book on my experience working first for post office telephones then it changes to end up as BT when I left and now called Open Reach.

We had to sign the Official Secrets Act and once signed it was for and is for life, so a lot of stuff can't be made public even if we knew nothing anyway

Re: Wimbledon.

I love to see the fans watching the game....heads going left to right, right to left....a big chance of repetitive movement neck strain.

Why dont they just keep an eye on the net...ball goes left but doesn't return mean the guy/gal missed the ball....easy.

I'll be watching the Murray games and cheering for whoever he's playing.

Re: Wimbledon.

Generally, I have nothing against 'screamers' but I do have trouble watching the women's matches.

Ugh ... women's matches hold no particular interest for me and the 'screamers' (there was one this afternoon) should be penalised.
Had to stop what I was doing to switch over

It always makes me wonder what sort of racket (pun?) they make when they're having sex, or having a hissy fit in the supermarket.

I don't go for Nadal either but he was darn good in his match yesterday. Looked very strong and accurate.

The sex bit I could watch but not the tennis.
