Wimbledon bans selfie sticks, your arms will just have to do
Game, set, match

In a blow to selfie-taking tennis fans everywhere, Wimbledon has banned selfie sticks from this year's event.

It's all down to "nuisance value" so if you're going to Wimbledon this year, you'll just have to annoy the people around you by taking selfies using your arms like it's 2013 or something.
