I am wondering if any of my tennis family on here has experience in Social Media marketing and could offer me any help/advice. I am trying to crowd fund a project to raise funds for my work in Brazil and really need to get the crowd funding page out to as many people as possible. I have a page already set up t...

Sitting here whilst wife and daughter browse the shops. Place is heaving, and folks seem to be groaning with bags from all sorts of top end shops. Customers largely a mix of Chinese, middle east and Europeans of various nationalities. Crazy crazy place, almost obscene I think.

Those of you who read my various scribes on here will no doubt remember that I have on occasions waxed lyrical about the facilities and the set up at the La Manga Club. The facilities remain unchanged but there has been a notable change in another way. James Rose, who had spent several years there and wa...

So here is the thing - I am 53 years old now and love my work, but I expected that by my age I would have seen everything and learnt not to be disappointed by how things dont always turn out the way you want! I went to see a client in November and after a couple of discussions talking them through various pro...

Some people may say that the Tories are very divided, but the Labour party is in a right mess and has been for sometime. 7 resigned this morning. One has already lost the whip and is effectively independent. Expect more to resign over the next few weeks. My MP is Luciana Berger - I am not surprised she has r...

After a long and arduous year, last Friday was the day when I was due to fly home to Spain from the UK after my final business meeting of the year. It didn't go to plan - not the meeting, the flying home bit. I left my colleague's house at 2pm Friday and got the train to Gatwick. Checked in my luggage (overwe...

As there is a lot of speculation and interest on another thread it seems like the time has come say what I know - I hope no-one is or would be annoyed that I am sharing it but there was such a demand for information I feel I needed to.

Hi All I am not normally one that jumps on bandwagon monthly initiatives, but this month I am going to try and give the scroll free September a bit of a go. The truth is, I have so much going on right now (all positive, I should add) that time is becoming an ever more precious commodity. So if you don't see me...

But it anyone is interested this is an excellent listen https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0bh440w I have to admit a slight bias as a massive fan of Corinne Bailey Rae - to make my world complete I can also admit to a personal interest. As is discussed on the programme,...

this is just random musings, but i have been thinking about how few worldclass tennis players we have and at the moment the answer is just 1, but then i started to think how many world class sports people we have in this country in general, and is it just the way tennis is played at pro level that makes it sta...

I think the time has come for a review as to who should be be moderators. I had to delete a kitchen spam thread in the Andy section today which had been there for 17 hours.
