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...

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...

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...

Trump
(

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...

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...

Andrew Murray Message Board ?

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as has been said before, and as raised again with me, we are a British tennis board so the link to Andy does seem well out of date.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...

The Russian threat: how credible is it?
(Preview)
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 will leave the debating points until later, other th...

General election/politics

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...
