Just seen a lovely shot of 'lady applying lashings of sun cream'.

There you go purple. Sun top & lashing of liberally applying will get you on tv. Grin

Perhaps you could elegantly apply to a leg in the air ? Wink

I'm worried it's going to get a forehand to the head at some point.

I think a cricketer got a seagull once.

Hi The80s

Perhaps not today, but PK is putting up a good fight so far...keep hoping !

5 setters he does not like, so if he can be pushed every round....Wink

Poor bird. The courts are so lovely, by wednesday they will start to look bald!

purpleprincess · 29/06/2015 14:10

Mrs V. It's ok I don't mind but I will wear what I'm comfortable with on the day! I couldn't not tell you I'm going as would feel disloyal and want to share the experience with you fellow tennis nerds. My dad loves to watch but everyone else thinks I'm nuts and DCs and DH Will be moaning for the next few weeks even though DH gets to come with on Saturday. Yes he's a lucky bugger.

This is the only day of the week I'll get to sit here of an afternoon and watch this will have to check the scores at work rest of the week and watch in the evening.

Raahh · 29/06/2015 14:11

the80s Wednesday is supposed to be the hottest day EVER or something. The grass will look far less green then.

of course, that might benefit Rafa. Who I am not supporting at all.

The80sweregreat · 29/06/2015 14:12

Hi mrs vamos, as well as music i also watch wimbledon ! But not any of the other tournaments, strangely enough. I dont think its Andys year either. Would love to see the Williams sisters knocked out soonish, never been a fan despite being so successful and so good. Has anyone on here ever been to Wimbledon? I ve never been.. !

MrsVamos · 29/06/2015 14:14

All the better for Rafa, The80s

Sounds like the bird is just seeing if there are any worms. The grass must look lovely to a bird, especially !

I think the vommentators are petrified if will be demolished by a fast serve. Sad

Don't honestly think Novak will truly be a GOAT. We know he and Andy are good players, they're just not up there with the best ever.

Must annoy AC.

Yesp, dreading wednesday 38 in the SE or something. It usually rains when it gets that hot. Not seen a forecast beyond wed.

Raahh · 29/06/2015 14:15

80s- I went 21 years ago- today! I would love to go back. Sadly, Edberg had already been knocked out.
Sad
I will go back one day.

MrsVamos · 29/06/2015 14:16

Bless you, purple. Smile

I know I'm really lucky to be able to watch it all.

Never been, hope to one day, The80s.

Ány good? No roof then of course. I was at school the year Cliff sung to them all in the rain. He isnt there this year..
The corporate people take all the best seats i hear too!

MrsVamos · 29/06/2015 14:19

On BBC weather on mobile this morning it had rain for Thursday, Friday & Saturday.

I take NO notice. They get it wrong all the time.

I just know its supposed to be too hot.

Wouldn't mind it cooling down a bit Friday if I go shopping. Don't want ice creams melting.

But. If it rains I might not get to go shopping if matches get delayed.

Argh !

MrsVamos · 29/06/2015 14:21

I don't think Mr. Richards would be very welcome if he turned up.

So he has to watch via tv, like most of us.

If the BBC didn't pander to paedophiles....

OP posts:
The80sweregreat · 29/06/2015 14:22

Hmm, usual english weather then. At least the roof means we can watch current play and not old McEnroe v Borg from 78 or whatever!

MrsVamos · 29/06/2015 14:22

Sorry. ^

Far too deep for Wimby. Blush

I like it best when the matches go on late.

Fantastic.

OP posts:
The80sweregreat · 29/06/2015 14:24

No, your right. The scandle at the bbc was terrible. Everything gets covered up all the time and cones out years and years later.

MrsVamos · 29/06/2015 14:27

Still going on everywhere, I think.

Disgusting.

Don't think we will ever know in our lifetimes just how bad it is/was.

Happy tennis thread, happy tennis thread !

ITS STILL TECHNICALLY CHEATING, TIM.

OP posts:
Raahh · 29/06/2015 14:27

Castle REALLY needs to shut up.

The80sweregreat · 29/06/2015 14:32

Who employs this man? I like Tim, but his 'hmmm, ahhh' chatter is annoying. Better on mute,! Castle really is a tool ,didnt win much in his day at least Tim got to a semi final or two..,!

Raahh · 29/06/2015 14:33

Sad gasparyan's threat to Serena was short lived.

GrouchyKiwi · 29/06/2015 14:34

Darn. Come on, PK! Take this next set!

purpleprincess · 29/06/2015 14:35

Advice from the official Wimbledon website

• Wear appropriate footwear (flip flops and high heels are not recommended)

Lol! Hmm
