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...

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...

OK. So I am not really into the modern trend of Reality TV and Talent shows. Most of them make me cringe, at best. But whilst I have been over here in Brazil, I have got into X Factor USA, mainly because it is one of the only shows that is in English and subtitled rather than dubbed. The vast majority of the co...

Sitting here whilst wife and daughter browse the shops. Place is heaving, and folks seem to be groaning with bags from all sorts of top end shops. Customers largely a mix of Chinese, middle east and Europeans of various nationalities. Crazy crazy place, almost obscene I think.

So here is the thing - I am 53 years old now and love my work, but I expected that by my age I would have seen everything and learnt not to be disappointed by how things dont always turn out the way you want!

Some people may say that the Tories are very divided, but the Labour party is in a right mess and has been for sometime. 7 resigned this morning. One has already lost the whip and is effectively independent. Expect more to resign over the next few weeks. My MP is Luciana Berger - I am not surprised she has r...

After a long and arduous year, last Friday was the day when I was due to fly home to Spain from the UK after my final business meeting of the year. It didn't go to plan - not the meeting, the flying home bit. I left my colleague's house at 2pm Friday and got the train to Gatwick. Checked in my luggage (overwe...
