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...

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...

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.

They recently took the oos upgrade that was forced on them by Apple to 13.5.1 Since then , the past few days, none of these devices will work properly using wifi, specifically on the internet. Links wont cl...

How have you coped with lockdown?
(Preview)
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...

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...

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'. It's called: People who should have been arch-enemies Hopefully the few examples from the show will make it...

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...

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...

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...
