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...

I suggest we use this thread to list jobs to do to improve the site: We'll keep a running list of agreed tasks in this first post, a list of completed ones in the second post (to remind us what we've achieved), A list of jobs being considered in a third one and the rest of the thread is free form for s...

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.

Hi All As of tomorrow, I am going to be taking a break from this board. Right now I have lost much of my enthusiasm, not just for tennis, but for many things. When players win, I find myself typing "great result" or "excellent win", mainly because it seems like the right thing to say. But I don't "feel" it l...

Watching Azeem Rafiq and his evidence to the MP's today - what a fine, articulate and creditable man, I felt emotionally moved listening to him talk and give his testimony. I hope this causes real action to be taken - I imagine it will start with a number of careers being damaged (Vaughan, David Lloyd,...

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...

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...

I jokingly made reference to Luke Johnson and Patisserie Valerie elsewhere, his name sake of course was chairman , I believe. Its a few years since they collapsed with a massive hole in their accounts, does anyone know where that investigation got to and what happened?

With all of this talk of the labour red wall falling down, in 2019 general election, and the Hartlepool by-election win for the Tories was the latest example of this. Are we really surprised. Populist leaders, like Trump, Le Pen and also Boris, appeal to the lowest common denominator, as they are tak...

for those of you interested, the BAFTAs continue tonight. Leslie Odom jr sang a song from his film last night and tonight he is singing again, this time a duet with Corinne Bailey Rae. Corinne is fab, I am big fan, and she is a lovely person! She happens to be married to my next door neighbour or more precis...

I've always known that Andy went to the school where the massacre took place, but I didnt' know if or how much he was involved in the tragedy. Decided to look it up today: Murray was a former pupil of Dunblane Primary School between 1992 to 1999. He was eight years old and in Primary Three when the Dunblane...

As I alluded to in one of the threads, I have had a problem with a gas installation company here, so I thought I would amuse you all with my little "tale of woe". It started about 2 years ago. Natural gas is a new phenomenon in many places in Spain with most people using bottled gas. But the pipes were being b...

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...

Hello hello I'm a newbie - hope all is good with you. I'm a full time tennis coach in a village near Derby - I can't work during lockdown so have really focused in on podcasting to keep positive!

Or in this case, "Yes Shadow Minister". Just wanted to recognise on this board that one of our regular members - Topemp - has been appointed Shadow Minister for Apprenticeships and Lifelong Learning as part Kier Starmers new Labour opposition team. Congratulations Toby. Thoroughly deserved.

Truly sad to report that the best James Bond that ever was, has passed away today at the age of 90. RIP Sir Sean Connery.

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.
