STICKY:
Meeting up at tennis events.
(Preview)
Hi All, I'm starting a new thread to see if people can/want to meetup with others on the board at tournaments. A few of us went to Shrewsbury this week, but didn't get together, and from my perspective, it would have been nice to have done so and said thanks to Jules for her updates. I'm hoping to go to Wrexh...

In light of the recent issues regarding offensive posts and personal attacks I have suggested to Sheddie that we need a very simple but clear code of conduct. I hope to PM all the mods for feedback and then we will post something here. We want to give people as much freedom to debate, object and express b...

Trump

I have long since despised Trump and his form of government but in his most recent tweet today, he is showing signs to me that he no longer mentally stable enough to remain in the position of POTUS. WARNING: This is the video of a 75 year old man being pushed to the ground by police and suffering injury, all...

General election/politics
(

Given that a few posts have popped up in various threads on the general election, I thought it deserved it's own thread on the chat section. The Tories surprisingly got in with a small majority and every other leader in parliament resigned, so it will be same as for the next 5 years. IMHO the reason why th...

The Perseid (Per-see-id) meteor shower is one of the highlights of many meteor hunters calendars due to its high hourly rate and bright meteors, caused by the Earth slamming into the debris left behind by comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle in July and August every year. It is called the Perseids because the me...

I know this lovely place really started mainly about Andy but as has been said before, and as raised again with me, we are a British tennis board so the link to Andy does seem well out of date. Especially now with Emma around. But largely because we are and want to be seen ae being about all of British tennis...

John Hunt - Crossbow attack

I was shocked to read that the 3 victims of the crossbow attack near Bushey is the wife and 2 daughters of John Hunt the racing commentator. I am not into horse racing, but if you ever listen to commentary on Radio 5, John Hunt does the commentary and is regarded as the best in the business. I dont know the s...

Doubt anyone is particularly interested but I'm unlikely to be visiting the forum much in 2024 as I probably won't have the time to watch tennis. 1. I watched an unhealthy number of Jodie Burrage matches in 2023 so was already having a break towards the end of 2023. 2. My dad died unexpectedly the week b...
