There is nothing stopping them playing five sets except idleness. :)
when did you play a five set match last time?
I don't think they'd last that long.

I think that would be the problem. The average 5 set game for women would be around seven hours a game. The first round might not end till early July.

And that’s without rain.

I must be in minus surely?

Robs head wand must have seen to that.
No, you're showing 33%. But before you start celebrating, these figures include the dislikes, the site lumps them all together.

For most members the dislikes are small minority of the total, but as you say, Rob has wreaked some damage. Yours is probably a true likes figure of half that, much like many of us.

I don’t play tennis. We have women in our running club who regularly run 40 mile Fell Ultra Marathons, with 4 to 5 thousand metres of climbing. Now that’s tough.

Women are capable of 5 set tennis, but they are too idle to play it.

the text re-iterates our right to call off 50.
Maybe that should mean that we can still call off A50 after BJ leaves with no deal.
I think that might upset him (couldn't we do that on the quiet and keep it as a surprise?)

That BJ appears to be following LC is indictment enough of his judgement.

Lynton Crosby lobby firm works with high-sugar drinks brand
Link to product in Australia comes as business partner runs Boris Johnson campaign

The firm run by Lynton Crosby, whose business partner is helping Boris Johnson run his Tory leadership bid, lobbies in Australia on behalf of a major flavoured milk brand that contains more sugar than Coca-Cola, it has emerged.

Last week Johnson announced that as prime minister he would reconsider a tax introduced last year that places a levy on high-sugar drinks. The tax does not cover sugary milk-based drinks but the health secretary, Matt Hancock, has suggested this could happen as a way of tackling childhood obesity.

Johnson’s campaign is being directed by Mark Fullbrook, who co-runs the London company in Crosby’s empire, Crosby Textor Fullbrook Partners (CTFP).

If the contents of the article I link to in the above post are correct (I don't see why they would not be). Why have MPs not tried to do something about this? Do they not know its going on? Or are they deliberately turning a blind eye to it, because of all the money it brings into London?

Afraid not, mine is a genuine 42.7%.

I have the advantage since I always go into the cycling forums first and help in three ways there as necessary. I've been doing that for 13 years and have also written a number of the site's permanent articles. Even quite old posts of mine get Likes as people trawl for answers to a problem.

Coming into this thread is an afterthought to that activity, one that I can jack in at any time.
