Ok, so now the football’s suddenly gone all non-English and non-interesting, the Wimbledon that I had horribly, cruelly, with such fickle callousness, disregarded, has once again come back into my life with a vengeance. With a rush. With just 5 hours of Nadal (who I love dearly) and Djokovich (who I don’t really) playing the most spectacular game of tennis I’ve seen since this morning in the park when I had a knock-up with Michael from Tai Chi. It was that good. In fact the game at Wimbledon was fucking amazing. Possibly the best I’ve ever watched. Certainly the most recent. Which always raises the ranking.

I didn’t watch the ‘other’ semi-final. The two fucking giants out-serving each other for 6 hours as the crowd fell asleep by the final set 24-22. zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Don’t like big servers. I know, they must be good, one of them (doesn’t matter which) has reached the final and is thus the 2nd best player in the world today, at least. And yet I have no time for them. And really dread the day when being 6 foot 9 and having a fuck-off serve would be enough to see off the Feders and Nadals, the sublime ball-players of their generation. There again, I’ve played virtually every Saturday and Sunday for the last 20 years without taking a serve, so what do I know?

Meanwhile, Trump has elevated the ‘special relationship’ to ‘the highest level of special’. And Donald himself is a bit ‘special’ so he should know. Yet he was big enough to make a u-turn. He changed from ‘a soft brexit is for dipshit, weak motherfuckers who we’ll tax to shit’ to ‘whatever Theresa decides is fine by us, fine by us’. How’d that happen?

The protests went well. Lots of people. Lots. And having already been a bit ‘nyeh’ about them, when I saw that both Jezza and Nicola Sturgeon had attended them, that crossed a red line. Quite literally a red line. Comrade Corbyn is, unsurprisingly, anti-capitalist and thus anti-American. Trump is just the world’s easiest target around which to rally all manner of troops. You can make it about any of his many crimes but really they’re just the excuse to be anti-American.

World Cup final tomorrow. And tennis final too. Then what do I do??

Happy Saturday

A xxxx
