Prime8 – the weekly GGA web roundup 30/6/2014
Prime8 has gone all Wimbledon this week. He’s wearing Fred Perry shirts, refusing to eat anything other than strawberries & cream, and has ‘The Best Of Cliff Richard’ on repeat on the office stereo. He’s been a bit of a d**k if I’m honest. Anyway, to get us started this week, here’s a Wimbledon-based joke…
