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...

Just out of interest now that we have all cast or not cast our votes. The more interesting and relevant re us as a group, the more that respond - anonymously of course unless you choose to say.

Hi everyone, I am in the process of moving from North Lancashire where I play at a super club with 3 grass courts (yep, lucky me!!) and 2 all weather floodlit courts. I have to admit I am at the ladies 'veteran' age group and I play a lot in mixed dubs local leagues and my own club both singles and doubles. I se...

As some of you may have seen, although I am not sure if it made the UK news, the Costa Blanca has suffered its worst storms for over 100 years in the last couple of days. There has been extensive flooding and sadly loss of life in the region as well. I am currently in Brazil, which makes matters worse in a way...

So just to say, I have realised I have spent WAYYYYY too much time on here in recent weeks/months and to that extent my work has probably suffered and certainly I know I need to pull back. That isnt going to happen over Wimbledon and I plan to keep on my grass court wins lists through to the bitter end but, af...

OK. So I am not really into the modern trend of Reality TV and Talent shows. Most of them make me cringe, at best. But whilst I have been over here in Brazil, I have got into X Factor USA, mainly because it is one of the only shows that is in English and subtitled rather than dubbed. The vast majority of the co...

I am wondering if any of my tennis family on here has experience in Social Media marketing and could offer me any help/advice.

Sitting here whilst wife and daughter browse the shops. Place is heaving, and folks seem to be groaning with bags from all sorts of top end shops. Customers largely a mix of Chinese, middle east and Europeans of various nationalities. Crazy crazy place, almost obscene I think.

So here is the thing - I am 53 years old now and love my work, but I expected that by my age I would have seen everything and learnt not to be disappointed by how things dont always turn out the way you want!

Some people may say that the Tories are very divided, but the Labour party is in a right mess and has been for sometime. 7 resigned this morning. One has already lost the whip and is effectively independent. Expect more to resign over the next few weeks. My MP is Luciana Berger - I am not surprised she has r...

After a long and arduous year, last Friday was the day when I was due to fly home to Spain from the UK after my final business meeting of the year. It didn't go to plan - not the meeting, the flying home bit. I left my colleague's house at 2pm Friday and got the train to Gatwick. Checked in my luggage (overwe...
