How to keep up with Wimbledon

This year, there are more ways than ever to keep up with what's happening at the hallowed tennis grounds, and I am grateful because each year I get more and more scatterbrained. I extolled the virtues of the BBC's coverage last year, and there's more of the same going on for the next two weeks.

From high to low

I was mega happy this afternoon after watching Tim Henman win his match - it had everything you could ever want, a Brit, some diving and some swearing, and a sulky Delta Goodrem, she's famous you know! There was also a little bit of tennis going on as well... Now, I will talk to you about iTunes. I want to recommend it to each and every one of you. I …
