Could not care less about all the hangers on in the Royal box at Wimbledon and what they are wearing

Roger Federers Brown Suit who cares.
Want to see the players, courts, scores etc only

Taylor Swifts wedding and guests.

Whether Prince Harry comes to England with his children or not. Whether it's a security risk?

What couple of news items are you not interested in?

Literally all of it.

Nousernameideaaga · 08/07/2026 14:40

Anything Trump has said, done, or TYPED IN CAPITALS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

JustPassingTime · 08/07/2026 14:41

Anything political, whatsoever, anything about the royal family and Taylor Swifts wedding.

I stopped watching Wimbledon some time ago when it became less and less about the tennis. I couldn't care less who is watching in the stand, nor do I want to see cameras lingering on famous faces in the crowd every time there isn't a rally ongoing. It's nauesating.

I don't have Sky sports anymore but used to far prefer other grand slams and team games like the Davis Cup.

As for football, you'd think it was some sort of religious cult/institution. It's good to see more attention now expended on the Olympics and I don't mind particularly, but I do dislike the culture surrounding it. Every other sport takes a backseat to 'the beautiful game', and there are obscene sums of money involved whilst other sports are underfunded.

It's not as though, as a nation, we're even particulary good at it.

Wimbledon
Football
Harry+Megan
Taylor Swift

PashaMinaMio · 08/07/2026 14:57

All of it. I don’t bother watching anymore.

WoodchipAnnie56 · 08/07/2026 15:07

Wimbledon same as you op!

I’m glad genuine fans are having a good time but I was idly watching it while doing an on-line shopping order yesterday and the total was so expensive I was literally striking out anything that remotely resembled a treat, eg chocolate wafers, nice hand soap, some ice lollies for the young uns, so it was a bit galling watching all of these so-called celebrities swanking past in their new outfits! 😃

Not jealous exactly as I have no desire to “do” the season but it just seems harder to watch events like Ascot and Wimbledon and everyone in their finery, knowing that we probably can’t afford a trip to the zoo for all of us this summer!

Any sporting event
Prince Harry and his antics (plus the rest of the royals)
Taylor Swift's wedding
Farage and his finances
Trump and his ramblings
Ukraine and Iran

Farage and his stupid fucking posturing and whining. Hope the Binman kicks his slimy arse.

Smartiepants79 · 08/07/2026 19:27

Harry
Nearly all other ‘celebrity’ nonsense.
People moaning about being hot

Farage and his stupid fucking posturing and whining. Hope the Binman kicks his slimy arse.

I'm loving every second of this!

Classic example of fuck around and find out.

It’s all really shitty and awful so I try to avoid it for my MH. I was really intro TRIP last year till the Iran war then everything became about that and I lost interest. I just can’t get into Americans and their chronic saviour complex in the Middle East.

Also have no interest in Farage. I feel like he could murder someone and people would still make excuses for him and reform would manage to win.
