Random Irritations

Watching the ladies tennis final and cant help thinking that the line judges outfits are awful - they wouldn't look out of place in Peaky Blinders !

I could have bought ladies final tickets 2 for £400 from the LTA but I dont follow tennis much having stopped playing 20+ years back. The last match I saw live was McEnroe v Pat Cash a 5 setter and never fancied going again, that game was as good as it gets!

Unflattering at best. Crimplene been on order for Wimbledon since time began!
 
The stupid cow screaming AY-YA every time she hits the ball in the womens' doubles, whilst the other three play without screaming/grunting. Her screams get louder throughout the rally and continue well after the ball has been hit.
To me it's borderline cheating .............................. no, it's cheating, no borderline about it.
 
Nettle stings. Daisy jumped in the river and then couldn't get back up the bank so had to drag her out and got nettled to bits - including somehow on my bum through my shorts. Not funny!

When I was a lad a long, long time ago me and a mate were out cycling in the local woods when my mate decided he urgently needed a ?

As he had no means of, ahem, cleansing himself afterwards I helpfully suggested he went under a bridge in the stream and wiped himself clean using some leaves.

What followed was plenty of screams of agony from him, and me crying with laughter as I searched frantically for some dock leaves. He clearly didn’t know harmless leaves from stinging nettles.

Be grateful he didn't use a leaf of the Gympie-Gympie as found in Australia.
Also know as the Stinging Tree or Suicide Plant!

I would like to see a spectator stand up and tell her to stop shouting like that because it is not only getting on (his/her ) nerves, it is also adversely affecting his/her health.
About time the Tennis authorities stopped it.

Agreed. It’s as infuriating as it is unnecessary.

The only time grunting like that is truly required is when attempting some particularly challenging DIY, such as removing screws without an electric screwdriver.

Or when you get past a certain age and you are trying to pull on a pair of socks…?
