After the disgraceful behaviour of the Tories this week in Westminster and the bufoonery of Mundell and others in Scotland, it appears indyref2 will be coming sooner rather than later. Coupled with the disaster of broken promises and the Brexit carry on where over 60% of Scots voted to remain, and th...

This is partly a little bit of personal bragging but also a genuine question. Before lockdown, around xmas, I invested in a running machine at home. Did it on and off, but first week of lockdown I found myself boozing too much so decided to really make an effort. In 5 foot 8 or 9, 173cm ish, and weighed...

What tragic news this evening that basketball legend Kobe Bryant has been killed in a helicopter crash. He was an inspiration to so many people both within the world of basketball an beyond. He was just 41 years old and leaves a wife and 4 children. Let's not forget too that sadly 4 other people were...

Another little distraction for anyone in need of one, feel free to contribute. The game is adapted from John Finnemore's original in the Zurich episode of his Radio Comedy, 'Cabin Pressure'.

This may seem a strange question. My wife and daughter both have iphones and my wife has an iPad. They recently took the oos upgrade that was forced on them by Apple to 13.5.1 Since then , the past few days, none of these devices will work properly using wifi, specifically on the internet.

The corona virus has changed so many things in this world and in my opinion will continue to do so for months, if not years. This government has decided that to protect people and the way our society functions, it is necessary to increase borrowing to unprecedented levels with figures of 250 billion be...

Hello, Whilst we have no tennis, and plenty to be concerned about, I am going to post a bad joke every day. Worst case scenario, you will have something else other than the current ubiquitous suspects, at which to channel your anger and frustrations. Best case scenario, perhaps at least one other pers...

Anyone had any fun trying to put any claims in with airlines? Our outbound departure was cancelled by easyJet 24hrs in advance of Storm Dennis. We couldn't get on an alternative flight and couldn't get through to easy jet as they cancelled hundreds of flights and their call centre was inundated. Luck...

I wanted to say how terribly sad this news was today. Whatever happened between her and her boyfriend, for it to end in her death is a terrible and unjust tragedy. The court system is merciless and pursues people and many would agree that is right. As someone who has been through it, I know how she reac...

Hi everyone, I am in the process of moving from North Lancashire where I play at a super club with 3 grass courts (yep, lucky me!!) and 2 all weather floodlit courts.

As some of you may have seen, although I am not sure if it made the UK news, the Costa Blanca has suffered its worst storms for over 100 years in the last couple of days. There has been extensive flooding and sadly loss of life in the region as well. I am currently in Brazil, which makes matters worse in a way...

So just to say, I have realised I have spent WAYYYYY too much time on here in recent weeks/months and to that extent my work has probably suffered and certainly I know I need to pull back. That isnt going to happen over Wimbledon and I plan to keep on my grass court wins lists through to the bitter end but, af...

OK. So I am not really into the modern trend of Reality TV and Talent shows. Most of them make me cringe, at best. But whilst I have been over here in Brazil, I have got into X Factor USA, mainly because it is one of the only shows that is in English and subtitled rather than dubbed. The vast majority of the co...
