Well done Andy, and well done the whole team: Judy, his mom; Ivan Lendl his coach; Alexis Castorri his sports psychologist; and of course, the beautiful and fragrant who is more than just a delightful piece of eye candy!
Yes ... lets bin the achievements of people like Shackleton, Hilary, Darwin etc
Lets forget the people who discovered penicillin, split the atom, and pioneered stem cell medicine ...
We've got someone who is good at playing with a bat and ball !!!!!
(but, if you are dealing with the "majority", why should that be a surprise? The simplest things appeal to the majority - it doesnt challenge their brain cells - thats why football (tribal mentality) will always be more popular than chess; and the Sun always more popular than the Daily Telegraph !) |

one of the joys of Wimbledon for me...it's freezing cold and pissing down with rain so I can rug up with the cat and watch tennis till the early hours. |

Well done Andy, and well done the whole team: Judy, his mom; Ivan Lendl his coach; Alexis Castorri his sports psychologist; and of course, the beautiful and fragrant Kim Sears, who is more than just a delightful piece of eye candy! |

Hope they don't go mad and give him a knighthood. Winning 1 wimbledon isn't extraordinary, or even 2 grand slams. Federer has won 17, most of the others have won several.
... and they all forget just how elitist tennis is, robbiex ! |

It mattered to him, to me and to millions of others ITK. I reckon it did more good for the UK than some social worker.
it pains hedda to have to sometimes agree with ITK but there we go.
I just find it quite astonishing that, after the winter / spring we've just had why anyone would want to sit indoors watching TV now the good weather is here !
But I'm glad that you agree, JK, that the Coalition has got the UK in the frame of mind to be winners - not also rans. |
