To be jealous of the Beckhams?!

Right. I'm a huge Wimbledon fan. I've camped out, queued up, gone into the Ballot every year trying to get tickets (been successful twice in about 30 years) and yet I've just seen the Beckhams arrive for the Mens Final.

VB is all dolled up like she's on the catwalk, DB is suited and booted and they have one of the best seats in the house. Is this fair? Nope. Because real tennis fans can't get to see the sport they love. I'd think far more of them if just occasionally they donated their special seats to a Tennis Club so a real fan me could fulfil their dream of seeing the Mens Final.

I know 'money talks' but even if I had the money I still couldn't get to the Mens Finals because I'm not famous. Angry

Rant over.

I'm not AIBU am I....or am I?!

Oh and... DD placed a bet on Feds winning 3 sets to 2. The man taking her money in the bookies laughed at her. Not so funny now! She stands to win £30 I think. (if he wins of course!)

This sort of match is why I love tennis so so much. It can just go either way.

Did we get anywhere on why Mrs Hemsworth is on the MN shit list?

Pobblewhohasnotoes · 06/07/2014 17:29

I adore Chris Hemsworth and want to know why his wife is apparently so ghastly???

I've heard they're both very nice. Apparently, anyway.
