A yell

I'm not really sure, living here in New Mexico as I do, but I thought I just heard a yell, as though millions of voices let out a yell at the exact same time. I'm not sure where it came from, but I know it came from the east, like a sound that eminates from a place a very long way away, a distant, grumbling roar like thunder heard over the hills.

Kind of like a roar you hear when people come together for a moment borne of 75 years of unrequited expectations. It exudes the emotions that only a lifetime of frustrations and passions crushed can provide when the joy is finally reached.

I heard a fellow named Andy achieved something today. I think the man, for a single day, has an entire nation unto himself. A weight that would crush a man has suddenly uplifted a man to a pinnacle that few will ever achieve, and fewer still can ever appreciate or understand.

yea i heard a bit of bit of yelling as well



for those wonders, Mr Andy Murray won at Wimbledon, the first Briton (male or female) to win Wimbledon since Virginia Wade in 1977, and the first male since Fred Perry in 1936. :applause: :applause:


... just a shame he's scottish really :icon_lol:
 
Fantastic and what seems almost more incredible is that it was only a three setter!
 
Ha ha! Stiz is being a leetle bit provocative, what I noticed was the stunned silence from the tennis club next door as the match went on. All kudos to Andrew the Racquet, he's worked really hard for this and I hope he could hear us yelling in Devon! :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:

hehe just a little leg pulling banter :engel016: :)
 
Isn't Scotland located in England. That would make him English.

Not English, but Britain. But, the initial comment was tongue-in-cheek, essentially like someone south of the Mason-Dixon Line exclaiming that it was merely a "Yankee" who won!
