At least if you're Centre Court you'll get to see some play, regardless of the weather.
Who is likely to be scheduled to play that day, or does it depend on the other courts and the weather in London over the next few days?

it was quite context based, so it may not work here
it was a forensics group and for some reason someone had left condiments on the table (odd things like that happen in the photography department) and I was getting the batteries out for the lesson.
Hence I got to make a pun about a salt and battery.

It was a bit strange to be honest.
The people I met with had 'duped' me slightly, and rather than doing the usual thing of saying 'this is me, this is what I do, this is how I can help you' they'd dragged in most of their project team, so the questions and conversation were really specific to the project they are (currently) working on.
I think I may have unwittingly done a few hours work for them for nothing. I'm having another conversation with them next week and we'll see where we go from there.

It's for pacing reasons.
Screamadelica is meant to be like a night out on great pills- starts on a high goes trippy, then the comedown suite from Damaged right through to Shine Like Stars. They fuck with the order so they can start with Movin' on Up and finish with Loaded.
