In the new season, I'm going to update it with details of Andy's matches and also his tour...

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 suggest we use this thread to list jobs to do to improve the site: We'll keep a running list of agreed tasks in this first post, a list of completed ones in the second post (to remind us what we've achieved), A list of jobs being considered in a third one and the rest of the thread is free form for s...

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...

Ive been feeling very down today and its been triggered by some recent events around us. Ive not come across this before on a personal level but have had 3 acquaintances in the past two weeks who have committed suicide.

Inspired by Bob's suggestion of a dedicated thread following an entertaining discussion on the Loughborough M25 thread, I'm launching this. Feel free to chip in with contributions of your own, especially what gets your goat about other people's glaring grammatical errors when you see/hear the...

Hi all, I had feedback recently from someone who thought some of the forum quote strings we have in threads were far too long and cumbersome. It was something that was slightly on my mind before. And the more I have thought about it and looked at the strings I am sure we could and should cut some of them down...

I thought this might be a topic others might contribute to. I am sure many of us enjoy tennis books. Im always keen for a good recommendation so I thought this might be a thread some people could note down and recommend books theyve read for others. I took delivery today of a book called Bjorn Borg and th...

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...

New members issue · Sheddie

As several have pointed out to me, we've had no new members since early Nov, due to a software bug where anyone who attempts to join gets this error message: "We experienced some errors with your input" I've contacted Activeboard support, and got the below reply today which isn't great. I'll wait a few...

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...

Just wanted to write a few words to commemorate the fact that in just over a month's time, this forum will be 20 years old (June 15 to be exact). I created it as a teenager at a time when YouTube was barely a few months old, Facebook wasn't yet known outside of the US, and the likes of Twitter, Instagram and Ti...

Further to comments on the Leeds thread, I feel I need to hereby officially request permission to be absent a lot between now and the middle of May. During this time, I have 5 cricket tournaments to organise, 3 training academy visits (including the Welsh National team who arrive on Sat) plus 1 touring...

Now I have regained access to the forum's admin panel, I can try and sort some display things - I've changed the overall name of the forum to 'British Tennis Forum' rather than 'Andy Murray message board' now that Andy has called it a day. And I can sort the banner issue at the top of the forum - is anyone goo...

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. Especially now with Emma around. But largely because we are and want to be seen ae being about all of British tennis...

Seems we have a number of Leeds fans on here so I thought we deserved our own thread Greatest team of all time: 1) Gary Sprake 2) Paul Reaney 3) Terry Cooper 4) Billy Bremner 5) Jack Charlton 6) Norman Hunter 7) Peter Lorimer 8) Allan Clarke 9) Mick Jones 10) Jonny Giles 11) Eddie Gray 12) Paul Madeley (Supe...

I wondered if anyone here played padel at all? Im thinking of giving it a go. I played decent relatively high club tennis (Yorkshire and Middlesex league to around 2nd or 3rd division) and squash (county junior under 16) but stopped playing it at all around 25 years ago and havent picked up a racket of an...

So, sometimes its good to share. I lost my job today. Or at least Im losing my job, we are going to finalise a settlement agreement over the next couple of weeks and then Ill go. And whilst incredibly upset and hurt, its such a relief to know the pressure is over. Thing is, theres always hope for the future...

Donald Trump's overtures to Russia are but one of the many unwelcome/questionable actions he has taken since he was re-elected President, but a discussion of them would, I feel, have derailed the dedicated Trump thread. His motives for currying favour with Vladimir Putin & his apparent read...

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...
