I prefer horse races! Much more fun and a chance to win some money, based on how well you can pick the winning animal out of the line up! Matched with food, drink, and music (jazz if you are lucky)

Boris
I for Nadal, his raw talent and determination is awesome. I am so thrilled to see you writing so wonderfully with your creative sense of styling with words so oft forgotten. Thanks B, you should attend every year.

I’m just looking how to visit the Wimbledon Center Court while
I’m in London. It may be the wrong place that I’m trying to get through but I couldn’t find the contact. I’d be very much obliged if you would kindly let me know if Wimbledon Center Court is opened to public visitors when there is no tournament
or where shall I contact to get the right information.

Roger Federer was absolutely sublime. His elegant, subtle strokes, the strong way he fought back, his Zen like calm and the gracious, noble way he accepted defeat made him the supreme champion and we all thought, he is still number one, no-one else displays such qualities. He was ice cool, with whiplash strokes, and the cardigan was the final elegant touch. It was the thrust of the rapier against the blow of the mace.

Nadal is a very powerful, intense, talented player. However, he is a bit of a caveman, black locks every which way, the bandana, oozing testosterone, I bet he tears red meat with his teeth.

Ken probably never went to Wimbledon because he isn’t comfortable with the idea of being gracious in defeat. If he was playing at Wimbledon, and lost he would probably stalk the winner, disputing line calls and demanding an instant replay until he won.

Fantastic piece, I am impressed. and these obsessive compulsive disorders: yes, I immediately go for cleaning my nose to clear the way from intruders into my affairs, and not to give them pleasure in their WATCHING THIER SUBJECT MISSION!
It works very well; after few minutes of thorough cleaning, missioned lovers are completely PUT OFF and disappointed in fulfilling their missions !

Tennis Balls Vs Confused Ones

Boris, this will be short.

You rightly point out how much you (and probably the entire “assortment of dukes and duchesses”) were horrified by Nadal’s ugly fidgeting on Centre Court last Sunday, performing the “pant-twanging ritual” of a “serious wedgie” (or even a series of them).

Your sensitivities equal mine on the subject. However my disappointment at your presence at some bizarre parade recently far eclipses my grief and I hope yours, at Federer’s loss.

My support of you for the Mayoral Chair is very different from my surprise at your presence at some dreadful parade recently full of morally confused individuals along London’s streets. Just why on earth do you lend yourself to it Boris? “Gay parades” are nothing other than the parade of mankind’s confusion concerning very basic morals – and for clarity I say the “act” of homosexuality is a moral evil; that we are to respect the homosexual but not his sin, we certainly do not parade the sin.

How can you preside in such seeming support of the most distasteful display of moral confusion known? Please say! Were a group of heterosexuals to extend themselves in such a manner in public we should rightly have them all arrested for gross indecency.

I support you as Mayor of London but am horrified at your support of such parades which attack the very centre of London life. Well beyond Plato, Aristotle’s “Politics” provides plenty of clear pagan arguments about the required first cell of all society, so one need not coil with thoughts of being tutted as “religious” in defending London’s interests.

My disappointment is at Mankind’s inability to make simple distinctions; your presence – as Mayor – at the parade, confuses those distinctions still further.

Yours sincerely,
Franz Forrester
