Perseid meteor shower 7 July - 24 August 2024 - Peak 12-13 August
(Preview)
The Perseid (Per-see-id) meteor shower is one of the highlights of many meteor hunters calendars due to its high hourly rate and bright meteors, caused by the Earth slamming into the debris left behind by comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle in July and August every year.

John Hunt - Crossbow attack
(Preview)
I was shocked to read that the 3 victims of the crossbow attack near Bushey is the wife and 2 daughters of John Hunt the racing commentator. I am not into horse racing, but if you ever listen to commentary on Radio 5, John Hunt does the commentary and is regarded as the best in the business. I dont know the s...

Unlikely to be around much in 2024
(

)
(Preview)
Doubt anyone is particularly interested but I'm unlikely to be visiting the forum much in 2024 as I probably won't have the time to watch tennis. 1. I watched an unhealthy number of Jodie Burrage matches in 2023 so was already having a break towards the end of 2023. 2. My dad died unexpectedly the week b...

On my way home, I stopped briefly after a couple of minutes to rest my back (I was carrying two heavy-ish bags), on the corner of a side road ...

Sports injuries and female hormones
(Preview)
I remember someone commented on this in the sports injuries and good wishes tab, but I cant find the post - hopefully I wont be reiterating or prolix. My interest in this area of sports science was triggered a few years ago when I was unable to play tennis or any sports for 6 months due to an Achilles injury...

So has www.britishtennis.net finally died? I have a bookmark to it that I used to use to get here, but it seems to have disappeared into an internet graveyard for me now. Is it just me, or is it gone for good?

Not sure what the something else is just yet but for now, I just wondered if it was possible to do? I can see how you can edit your actual profile detail but it seems to offer up no option to change th...

OK. I have decided to try and drag my aging limbs through another 12 month exercise challenge in 2023.

But overnight his attacks have taken a huge step up in level a...

So, Bernie Ecclestone pleads guilty to fraud and has agreed with HMRC he will pay a fine of £650m ! He is due to be sentenced for his fraud today. He is 92.
