Asset, it's taken you until the (postponed) final to realise The US is only on Sky. From this, I surmise you're hardly a die-hard fan of the sport. So, for your part at least, you should be happy that the Beeb et al aren't squandering their resources on this tournament. Hardly outrageous.

The second half of the fourth set and the fifth set were pretty amazing tennis. A number of corking rallies. You went to bed too early!

"C'mon Andy! Serve up like it was Turnmills in the 90's and you had a pocket full of pills!"


"Conditions shite again with wind. SOMEBODY TELL THAT CUNT OF AN UMPIRE TO SWITCH OFF HIS MIC BETWEEN POINTS!"


"As McEnroe says: get that fuckin mic off you little jobsworth umpire cunt."


"Maybe I was paraphrasing McEnroe a little."

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.

      does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
