How am I supposed to watch the Tour, the British GP and Wimbledon all at once?

Might have to take a folding chair down to John Lewis and set up
In their TV dept...
Swim. Bike. Run. Yeah. That's what I used to do.

    Four 22" TFT displays and a decent AV setup?

    Found a compromise. Two iPads playing different streams from the BBC, set up in front of the TV playing ITV4.

    Phew. That was close for a bit.

    I promised I would look after the little one so Mrs A could watch the tennis. Pished down this morning so I didn't ride.

    Oh look, 15 minutes to the start of the tennis and it's blue skies and dry roads.

    Hope Murray gets stuffed 6-0 6-0 6-0 and then I might be able to get up the park for a few laps.

    There's tennis on? I'm sitting outside a canal path pub with a pint of Hopback Summer lightning and enough mud on the CX and my cape to make a new flowerbed when I get home :-D

    I don't know wether I should take my cape or an off road lap of the park or the MTB. I'll be first to the pub whichever, might take the 3 speed shopper.

    I consider myself somewhat of a connoisseur on such matters so I'd just like to say

    I was travelling yesterday so was trying to avoid the results of all three events until I got home. Tricky

    We went down to Dorset (Poole, Sandbanks to be exact) to stay with Ms DDD's friends. Lovely couple, beautiful place. Truly.

    In truth Sunday was a nice day, hot and their place is right by the beach. Shame i didn't leave the house, they effed off to the beach. I spent the day staying in flicking between BBC1, 2 and ITV4.

    Had I been at home I'd have set up the other TV and PC alongside the big TV to watch all 3.

    TV, iPad and laptop for me. Mrs EKE wasn't impressed. Neither was her mum who was visiting. Her dad thought I was a technogod.
