2 that i can think of have played womens tennis after a sex change. Renee Richards in the 70s and Andrea Paredes a couple of years ago.

Apart from break in the first set, when Lammerborghini played a horror game they've both been very solid on serve. Can see one break settling this set. Let us hope A-bag takes it.

I meant to write F to M, not the reverse. I've heard of Renee, not Andrea. It was far braver of Renee to have alow her bits to be chopped off - gender reconstruction surgery was not particularly advanced in the 70's. Anyway, Ithink I might be allowing myslef to go off topic here....

I don't recall ever not being relaxed. Every single one of my posts has had a jokey overtone.

Some individual starting crying because my brief update contained a nickname that me and the boys sometimes refer to the Alex 'A-bag' Ward as. Maybe have a quiet word with them?

Flounce of the week award!

Someone just was puzzled why you were calling Alex, Alexandra.... but still if that's what you and the boys call him...fair enough

What is the derivation of "A bag"? Is that when you are just moderately ugly and don't require the double bag treatment that outstanding ugliness requires?

I presume that's just a lucky guess? I am JS-double bag while my mate Spaffy is S-no bag.
