    Sounds like a line from an old Eddie Izzard routine, IIRC - "A bit ... well, 'French'!"

    All-purpose tennis thread

    Yeah Raducanu seems to have lost her way rather after her meteoric impact at the US Open. Too much time spent chasing lucrative sponsorship/modelling contracts and not enough time hardening herself up to face the challenges of professional sport. Having to retire from a match because you have...

    All-purpose tennis thread

    Slightly surprised there is nothing on the forum regarding tennis, given the discussions around what you might regard as more "minority sports". So i will kick off with Katie Boulter just beating last year's Wimbledon runner-up to get to round three of a grand slam tournament for the first time...

    Competitions etc, Who's won anything good?

    Hate to tell you this, ADM, but that was 50 odd years ago! I built the Airfix model of "Eagle" (Apollo 11 lunar module) and it was my pride and joy, growing up during the space race. I rediscovered it just the other day when clearing out my late mum's house. Glue had deteriorated so i picked it...

    Did it involve 10 grand to spend on a hooker for a night? Or 5 years in Hillfields!

    For information, i have deleted my post about Deborah James as I now recognise that it was clearly insensitive. I just wish my darling sister, who succumbed to breast cancer 13 years ago this week, could have been revered in such a way - she was no less special 😢 That's all.

    Lady Godiva

    No, they are perfectly free to show off their bits - but any budding Peeping Toms will be put on the sex offenders' register if they pay the slightest bit of attention. That's how it works these days! As for the name, i'm sure all the staff at the dearly-departed "Menzies Leofric Hotel" would...

    The world's gone mad! He's a stone-wall second division player. But it's not as mad as when i thought it read KEVIN Phillips!

    We all thought it would be a kind of reset as far as personal space and being nice to each other went, didn't we? Evidently not, then!!

    "Influencers", particularly on YouTube, but anywhere else as well. The mere concept of them, never mind their fucking total self-absorption and belief that people care what they say. Scourge on children's upbringing and parasites on society.

    The bystanders/interferers clearly have no clue about "control and restraint" techniques, which is what the plod on his legs was doing. Matey-boy in the lycra had it right - stay calm and they won't do this to you.
