Title: Wimbledon
Post by: grumpyoldsoldier on May 18, 2009, 01:05:33 PM
Wasn't that exciting? A whole programme on TV hosted by Sue Barker withmusic provided my Katherine Jenkins, and watched by15000 spectators. The event being the closing of the centre court roof which can take 8, 9 or 10 minutes depending on which commentator yo listen too.

FFS it was a bloody roof! not the second coming

Quite so.

Now a sliding roof to cover Lords would be a bit more of a wonder, and more useful.

I know Chris de Burgh is lethal but how do you fire him at someone? Surely a gun would take care of both of them.

Polonium enema for both.

They are probably both regular 'cleansers'.

That'll be Prince Charles.

Prince Charles has often been teased about admitting he talks to his plants at Highgrove. This week he had the last laugh when his commitment to gardening and the environment was recognised by an elite award.

His proud mum, the Queen, was called upon to do the honours in presenting the Prince with the Royal Horticultural Society's Victoria Medal of Honour

Not at all young Sir, but in retrospect maybe you should  have had Clff Richards singing on centre court instead. It will be the only time an Englishman will grace it whistle:

India indeed but then so was that well know Irish comedian Spike Milligan. BTW It is Cliff Richard or Keith Richards. One has an S and t'other does not ~ even tho' Cliff's real name is Harry Webb.
