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...

Code of Conduct Discussion Thread

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...

New thread to try as much as possible to separate general coronavirus discussion, re such as stats and policy, from tennis related coronavirus discussion on such matters as say tournaments and rankings.

Brexit
(

)
(Preview)
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...

Trump
(

(Preview)
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
(Preview)
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...

After the disgraceful behaviour of the Tories this week in Westminster and the bufoonery of Mundell and others in Scotland, it appears indyref2 will be coming sooner rather than later. Coupled with the disaster of broken promises and the Brexit carry on where over 60% of Scots voted to remain, and th...

How have you coped with lockdown?
(

This is partly a little bit of personal bragging but also a genuine question. Before lockdown, around xmas, I invested in a running machine at home. Did it on and off, but first week of lockdown I found myself boozing too much so decided to really make an effort. In 5 foot 8 or 9, 173cm ish, and weighed...

Another little distraction for anyone in need of one, feel free to contribute. The game is adapted from John Finnemore's original in the Zurich episode of his Radio Comedy, 'Cabin Pressure'.

Government Spending

The corona virus has changed so many things in this world and in my opinion will continue to do so for months, if not years. This government has decided that to protect people and the way our society functions, it is necessary to increase borrowing to unprecedented levels with figures of 250 billion be...
