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...

Problem when visiting this forum

Over the past 2 or 3 weeks I've been experiencing multiple freezing and crashes of my browser and background system apps on my android tablet when visiting this forum. I suspect there is something on this forum that is causing high memory usage. It only happens when I come here. I've found other active...

Brexit

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...

Climate Change

Thought I would start a new thread rather than adding this into the politics thread as I would hope that the fight against climate change spans the political spectrum and crosses international borders. I posted the other day (and again here) that Spain produced enough renewable energy to power the...

General election/politics
(

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...

Very worrying news to wake up to this morning. Putin's steady assault on the West has been going on for years - some of it covertly such as trying to influence elections and cyber warfare, to more overt attacks such as the annexation of Crimea. But overnight his attacks have taken a huge step up in level a...

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...

Time for a vote. Who will be the next PM. Note: this is 'who will be' not 'who do you think should be.
