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...

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...

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...

As an aside, last week my wife, daughter and I went to see RAYE at the O2. I came late to RAYE after seeing her in the Graham Norton show 6 months or so back. I have to say, wow.

I've spent the last three years researching and writing a book called The Age Code, which is all about the li...

Deservedly a Middlesbrough legend. Everyone must know Driving home for Christmas... Interesting story behind the writing of it. The big names in the entertainment world seem to be dropping like flies at the moment.

I know this lovely place really started mainly about Andy but as has been said before, and as raised again with me, we are a British tennis board so the link to Andy does seem well out of date.

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...
