He seemed very reasonable Mingling if I hadn't seen him before I'd think he was a decent man

I agree! I feel that his past behaviour clouded my judgement or something

I know nothing about him and have liked what I’ve seen. He seems kind. But for some reason know I’m not supposed to think this.

What has he done?

JaneJeffer · 08/07/2022 19:41

Kyrgios kind @JellyBellyNelly?

Mingling** my judgement isn't clouded. I meant if I didn't know better but I do!

A bit OT (sorry) - but can anyone else hear a constant background hum on the BBC’s coverage? Medium pitch, slightly wavering tone, just constantly there. As soon as the crowd falls silent, I can hear it.

DH has switched between live TV, iPlayer and the YouView box. The noise is always there. He can’t hear it, but it’s doing my head in.

JaneJeffer · 08/07/2022 19:52

Puzzled I don't think they stop talking long enough to hear anything! I have tinnitus so quietness sounds buzzy to me. Sorry I'm no help!

Puzzled I can't hear anything, but my tv is a bit quiet.

Raahh · 08/07/2022 19:53

There is also a really loud gull outside my house making a terrible racket!

That woman looking directly to camera scared me!

I could hear buzzing- I think it was the fan on dh's pc (it has been overheating)- and it has just stopped.

JaneJeffer · 08/07/2022 20:05

Danielle isn't trying!

Well done Alfie and Gordon.

OP posts:
Raahh · 08/07/2022 22:02

Well done Alfie and Gordon- another long match- Alfie will be shattered Grin

They look like they enjoyed it though.

JaneJeffer · 08/07/2022 22:06

What a day for Alfie. I'm tired just watching him!

OP posts:
littlbrowndog · 08/07/2022 22:12

Good work Alfie. Exhausting

agree about that whiny noise

littlbrowndog · 08/07/2022 22:13

And Gordon 🤦‍♀️

Atmosphere beginning to build up! Great interview with Billie Jean and Martina , kudos to Billie Jean for the Wimbledon themed specs, also a very sweet sequence of Ons Jabeur just after a practice session this morning when despite having other stuff on her mind she took time for selfies and chat with people watching. There is something very charming about her, not least the fact that she is not a clone of so many of the recent top players. I really like the diversity in womens tennis.

JaneJeffer · 09/07/2022 13:34

Just put it on. Pam is louder than Claire!

Kid started work early this morning so I've been on one since 5.30am, hot and knackered but worth it as about to have shower then wine and then not move.

Hope it is a long three sets and cheering on Jabeur.

Fizzywinegum · 09/07/2022 13:42

I’ve just switched on so I missed Billie Jean’s Wimbledon themed specs. I also like Ons viques - I think it would be good if she won - I don’t really know much about Rybakina (except that she’s originally from Russia)

I like Chrissie - it’s good to see her looking well - she was talking quite openly to Sue about her ovarian cancer the other day - hope she’s ok - she’s quite funny. Pam is very loud!

Fizzywinegum · 09/07/2022 13:44

You are very fickle with your name changes And - looking forward to see who you’ll be supporting tomorrow Grin

I think it’s a bit too early even for me to start on the wine (I do have to go out later though!)

Raahh · 09/07/2022 13:50

I had to go out- ust managing to sit down.

Ons is really lovely- she is a great role model for the sport, and always so positive.
I think Elena has surprised a lot of people, but she did reach the 4th round last year.
