I can't believe you're having such a downer on Wimbledon. I'm in Southfields, which is the main tube station for the championships, and I love this time of year because:
a) the worse the traffic is, the smarter I feel for being a cyclist
b) when there are even pedestrian traffic jams, I feel smarter still
c) the fact that the shitty District Line is so rammed prevents me being even tempted to use it
d) I know I could rent my house out to a mug for a fortune, though I've never bothered
e) Mad John, our local 'character' wheels his bicycle around, wearing only shorts, a vast beard and a straw boater, bellowing at terrified Japanese tourists
f) the parking restrictions are ultra-fierce, except for residents
g) as I mentioned in some other thread, I got to sit near Victoria Pendleton on Centre Court last week
and h) although tennis is a bit middle-class, the corporate-cunt-count is lower at Wimbledon than at most similar summer sporting events, and most of the people there are proper fans who got tickets through local clubs
i) Come on, Timmy! Oh...
