Wimbledon spectators

I get annoyed when spectators cheer if someone loses a point, so rude. Cheer if someone wins of course.

Sorry - a diversion, please forgive me Kitty, but I’ve been ranting to poor old DH about this all week (and he does agree with me, well done him 😊).

But why oh why are the uniforms of the lines people (I know that this is the wrong term) at least two sizes too small?

Cinched waists on portly men; buttons straining on averagely proportioned breasts; shoulders about to burst at the seams…

Why?

I saw this! Absolutely no need. You would think they would have more pride in themselves.

He's ok but his earring puts me off 🙂

Whilst you are all arguing over John Newcombe it leaves Pat Cash for me, thank you very much.

(I had a conversation with him in the chemist at Sydney Airport many years ago, DH still laughs as he said I was blushing and stuttering like a fawning teenager 🥰🤪)

My favourite as well, he still looks good - he was talking to Clare yesterday.

😁

Yes, they could just put a top on over their (presumably) sweaty shirt. Save us seeing all those muscles.

What is all this stripping off on court - makes me go all hot.

John Newcombe there

I fully intended to marry John Newcombe in the 70s

Get in line! I think I first went to Wimbledon in 1966 with the school, and subsequently with my sister. I always checked beforehand if I could see JN in the singles or with Tony Roche in the doubles.

I ball girled for John Newcombe in 1961!
He was lovely but a bit old for me even then. I was rooting for cheeky Chuck McKinley 😍
Our school provided ball girls for Queen's Club a week or two before Wimbledon.

That guy would look ok if he lost the tache.

Never ‘erd of ‘im, before my time.

Watching the ball boys and girls, where are the youngsters? They all look about 18 at least.They seem to have developed a military style of snapping themselves back into place as well.

It was a pleasure watching him play ixion, those powerful, erm, serves! He was quite a mover

Yes, that was good too 😁

And his tennis prowess?😉

As he married in 1966 better chance of me being his mistress than all here marrying him , yes ?

No, I first clapped eyes on him in 1965

Now stay calm ladies, we don’t want you all swooning.

I was only 12!

That’s funny, kitty. I could have sworn he was mine. Oh, those eyes.

I even persuaded DH to grow a droopy moustache. Didn’t tell him why though. 😂😂

You’re all wrong, John Newcombe was definitely mine!

The women squeal which goes right through me, especially the one the other day who was "trilling". Why waste energy on that? A grunt I can understand because of the effort.
