I didnt know what to call this post, but Ilkley seems the most relatable. I have been going through a hard time in the past 18months, through relocating between NW and NE England and divorce and rheum arthritis. I have been going to see the Ilkley tournament for some years now whether travelling from La...

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...

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 ...

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...

So has www.britishtennis.net finally died? I have a bookmark to it that I used to use to get here, but it seems to have disappeared into an internet graveyard for me now. Is it just me, or is it gone for good?

Changing profile name? · JonH comes home

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...

OK. I have decided to try and drag my aging limbs through another 12 month exercise challenge in 2023. On this occasion, the motivation will not be weight loss as I'm pleased to report that although my weight has gone back up a little since I finished my last challenge, I am still happy with it where it is...

Very worrying news to wake up to this morning. Putin's steady assault on the West has been going on for years - some of it covertly such as trying to influence elections and cyber warfare, to more overt attacks such as the annexation of Crimea. But overnight his attacks have taken a huge step up in level a...

New thread to try as much as possible to separate general coronavirus discussion, re such as stats and policy, from tennis related coronavirus discussion on such matters as say tournaments and rankings.

This week has been a tough week. When lockdown first started, in 2020, as many people did, my wife and daughter volunteered in a local community support scheme. This one was to provide support to vulnerable people through things like doing their shopping or collecting prescriptiona. My wife was pai...

So, Bernie Ecclestone pleads guilty to fraud and has agreed with HMRC he will pay a fine of £650m ! He is due to be sentenced for his fraud today. He is 92. But surely that is one of the biggest frauds ever? Astonishing amount of money. I dont know what the sentencing guidelines are for a fraud that large a...

I am having trouble viewing this website forum on google chrome all of a sudden (since yesterday). It says not secure and the error information mentions something to do with the certificate?

Just felt that I was spending too much time on the Internet, in general, so logged out and just caught up with a couple of topics over the last few weeks. Thanks for your concerns folks., I am OK. I see the US predictions are up, I could be tempted!

Thought I would start a new thread rather than adding this into the politics thread as I would hope that the fight against climate change spans the political spectrum and crosses international borders.

The Perseid (Per-see-id) meteor shower is one of the highlights of many meteor hunters calendars due to its high hourly rate and bright meteors, caused by the Earth slamming into the debris left behind by comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle in July and August every year. It is called the Perseids because the me...

Hi All As of tomorrow, I am going to be taking a break from this board. Right now I have lost much of my enthusiasm, not just for tennis, but for many things. When players win, I find myself typing "great result" or "excellent win", mainly because it seems like the right thing to say. But I don't "feel" it l...

What is the Alpha Capricornid meteor shower?As the comet 169P/NEAT orbits the sun, it leaves a trail of debris which the Earth crashes into every April. When the debris burns up in our atmosphere, it produces the meteor shower that we call the Alpha Capricornids.At its peak, the Alpha Capricornids p...
