WIMBLEDON LESS COMMON:
We may have been knocked out of the World Cup but there's a whole new competitive season beginning. And what do these sports have in common, aside from being shown at Ten? They were both invented by the British and now have every country are beating us at it. Some surprises so far this year are that the Williams sisters have been knocked out of the doubles, and our man Murray has made it to the competition. Dunblane survivor Andy Murray will be playing Jo-Wilfried Tsonga on Tuesday in the hallowed centre court. In their last three meetings Tsonga has beaten Murray, so all our best wishes go out to him for his match. But, of course, one of the most reliable and enjoyable parts of the Wimbledon season is Strawberries and Cream.
This year Ten will be showing selected Tennis matches and if you'd like to bring your own strawberries and maybe even a little Devonshire clotted cream! Mmmmm, now I have totally distracted myself!
SOMETHING ELSE:
In keeping with our Wimbledon Theme we have selected a few tennis gems to amuse you. It's great that for every theme we run with on this blogspot, there is a series of videos of people looking silly of hurting themselves during said sport. Enjoy!
Thanks to everyone who has visited, fixed or frequented our venue over the last week and we look forward to seeing you all again soon.

At Ten we love to supply you with great drinks, and we also take care to make sure your visit is as relaxing and trouble-free as possible. Therefore we are raising awareness of drinking whilst in our venue, and encouraging our clientele to look after their friends when on a night out.
We discourage binge drinking at Ten, and we ask you to be aware of your friends during your evening out. Whether its drinking excessively or mixing drinks, know your limits and your friend's and enjoy your time at Ten. We gladly serve you quality drinks products and we would much rather you didn't return them to our floor!
MODERNITY ATE MY HAMSTER: What a mad world we have constructed; we can IM our MP while we LMAO in HTML; TB to our GF while we MMS our BFF; surf a highway downloading software to upgrade our version of lifestyle 2.0; and we can live in a country where Jedi is the religious denomination of 2.6% of the population!
Seven out of every thousand people in England and Wales gave their religion as 'Jedi' in the 2001 Census. The Census form's question was, for the first time, a question where the answer could be filled in and a response wasn’t mandatory. It gave options for the major religions in the UK (Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh); a tick-box for ‘none‘; and a free space to write in ‘any other religion’. This somewhat inevitably lead to the public to use their imagination.
A group of people started an internet campaign suggesting that if there was excess of 15,000 people who claimed to be a Jedi, it would become a recognised religion. An email in support of the campaign, quoted by BBC News, invited people to “do it because you love Star Wars... or just to annoy people.” Unfortunately for 390,000 people who did claim too be Jedi this wasn’t the case and the ‘belief system’ failed to be formally recognised. Interestingly the Brighton and Hove respondents were one of the highest recorded with a score of 2.6%, followed by cities such as Oxford with 2.0% of the populous - It was least popular in Merthyr Tydfil where it was quoted by only 0.16 per cent of respondents. Director of reporting and analysis at the Office for National Statistics, John Pullinger said:
“Whatever its motive, the Jedi campaign may have worked in favour of the Census exercise. Census agencies worldwide report difficulties encouraging those in their late teens and twenties to complete their forms. We suspect that the Jedi response was most common in precisely this age group. The campaign encouraged people to complete their forms and help us get the best possible overall response.”
So that was the plan the whole time!?! Is Pullinger suggesting it was a handy mechanism for attracting the attention of those pesky kids? Was it the equivalent of the inventors of the cake tin, The Frisbee Baking Company, claiming they were actually enabling Walter Morrison to create a piece of sporting equipment? Perhaps it’s good thing that they’d only opened up one question to interpretation, and that a predetermined amount of people can’t make a subject officially recognisable. If enough people wrote ‘A Religion Which Believes Filling in Census Forms is Stupid’, would they then be able to opt-out of filling in the forms due to religious conflict? What if there was an ‘any other ….’ option on other questions?
Perhaps that our interest in the world around us, and our ability to become informed about our environment that has lead us to challenge our nature an its mysteries. The mystery of the human condition is one which fascinates, and signs of the times are not only indicative of our culture, but of how our culture will be perceived. One indicator of our lifestyle and culture was apparent when using predictive text on a new mobile phone. The inbuilt dictionary contains an abbreviated version of the English dictionary; minus curse words; colloquialisms; most words with 7 letters or more; plus a few words which are relevant to our cultural linguistics were added. I must admit to having written many texts, as have many many people who also use predictive text and have had to add a few words to my dictionary which you wouldn't perhaps use in polite company. I have, over the last 8 years, become very familiar with the words found and that need adding, so with my phone being upgraded I began to find the additions to the dictionary were quite interesting. It seems a shame that the word 'wondrous' was omitted, whilst 'arse' was added. We can now find 'cheesy', 'minging' and 'skank'. 'Fact' = a condition of being which doesn't necessarily pertain to any reasonable understanding of reality.
Facts are one of the most interesting elements to this world we’ve created, and here are a few relatively unknown facts about our little planet. 1. Tree crickets are called the poor man's thermometer because temperature directly affects their rate of activity. Count the number of chirups a cricket makes in 15 seconds, then add 37. The sum will be very close to the outside temperature in Fahrenheit. 2. Men are six times more likely to be struck by lightning than women. 3. The single largest man-made structure on the planet is the Fresh kills Landfill in Staten Island. 4. The pointing fingers on Michelangelo’s ‘Creation of Adam’ were painted by an unknown Papal restorer after the original fingers fell off. 5. The Paradoxical frog grunts like a pig and has offspring three times its own size.
