STICKY:
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...

Code of Conduct Discussion Thread

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...

Tennis books
(Preview)
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...

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...

General election/politics
(
1 2 3 4 5 … 33
)
(Preview)
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...

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...

Was this an attempted scam?
(Preview)
I had a weird experience during a regular visit to my local Sainsbury's yesterday afternoon to pick up my Sunday Times & a few other necessary bits & bobs. 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

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...

I wondered if anyone here played padel at all? Im thinking of giving it a go.

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...

Changing profile name?

Quick question - I was thinking I would like to change my profile name to something else, as mine is a mouthful. 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...

Unlikely to be around much in 2024

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...

Very worrying news to wake up to this morning.

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