Re: 6-0,6-0.

I haven't watched a second of Wimbledon. Who was in the final and who won?

Me too!

I'm always pleased with myself if I can avoid the crap for a fortnight! So far I've achieved my objective. My theory is that it's only followed by women!

Remember when we were kids in the 60s and 70s everyone wanted to play tennis for a fortnight then didn’t give a shite about it for the next 50 weeks.

That sounds seriously strange. Are you unable to just not watch it, as you don’t like it, without having to justify it to yourself with moronic reasoning?

Yeah there were a couple of council owned tarmac courts by Fairwater Bowls Club that were almost impossible to play on during the Wimbledon fortnight and then you’d never see anyone on them for the other 50 weeks of the year. I played on them once and they had no effect whatsoever on my mediocre game.

Things would move on then to Llandaff Fiels pitch and putt for the British Open week with one year I remember a few people wearing Mr Lu (a South Korean player who almost won one year) bucket hats. Contrary to the tennis courts, I was a regular at the pitch and putt course especially during the school summer holidays and used to resent all the one week a year merchants cluttering up the course on which my big claim to fame was getting a hole in one on the short third with my putter

Loved the way Swiatek walked through the corridors of Wimbledon before going on court.

So focussed!

She looked as if she was going to war!

Same as the Snooker. Couldn’t get a table in Riley’s when the world championship was on.

A few of us used to regularly play the small 9 hole golf course over at Ely Race course.
Seems like a lifetime ago!

I never played on that one even though it was probably closer to my home in Pentrebane - there was a bus service from Pentrebane which stopped right by Llandaff Fields.
