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...

Hello, Whilst we have no tennis, and plenty to be concerned about, I am going to post a bad joke every day. Worst case scenario, you will have something else other than the current ubiquitous suspects, at which to channel your anger and frustrations. Best case scenario, perhaps at least one other pers...

In case anyone's ever wondered what I look like in the flesh (not that you're missing much, as Phil, Paulisi and Julia can testify) there'll soon be a chance to find out. Barring any schedule changes I'll be appearing on Eggheads on Tuesday 5th January, 6pm on BBC2. I'm part of a team named Quiz Family Ro...

I have started a new thread because I wanted to put up a new vote. As Theresa May announces her "3rd way" for a customs union/agreement/alignment/arrangement, I am wondering how people's opinions have changed (if at all) over the last two years. I will leave the debating points until later, other th...

Anyone had any fun trying to put any claims in with airlines? Our outbound departure was cancelled by easyJet 24hrs in advance of Storm Dennis. We couldn't get on an alternative flight and couldn't get through to easy jet as they cancelled hundreds of flights and their call centre was inundated. Luck...

I wanted to say how terribly sad this news was today. Whatever happened between her and her boyfriend, for it to end in her death is a terrible and unjust tragedy. The court system is merciless and pursues people and many would agree that is right. As someone who has been through it, I know how she reac...

What tragic news this evening that basketball legend Kobe Bryant has been killed in a helicopter crash. He was an inspiration to so many people both within the world of basketball an beyond. He was just 41 years old and leaves a wife and 4 children. Let's not forget too that sadly 4 other people were...

Hi everyone, I am in the process of moving from North Lancashire where I play at a super club with 3 grass courts (yep, lucky me!!) and 2 all weather floodlit courts.

As some of you may have seen, although I am not sure if it made the UK news, the Costa Blanca has suffered its worst storms for over 100 years in the last couple of days. There has been extensive flooding and sadly loss of life in the region as well. I am currently in Brazil, which makes matters worse in a way...
