News in brief:

Last call for our RedSpottedHanky tennis mini-league!

Let’s say, for example, that you have Andy Murray as your main male player, and Murray plays on Monday.

However, does Murray still need to be in your team at midnight Monday for you to earn points from his victory? In which case, you should do team changes early in the morning. Or do you get points immediately after a match?

The problem is that by the time we know the answer to these questions, we will be 3-4 days in …..

Channel 4 needs you

A production company working for Channel 4 has been in touch me in their hunt for nervous flyers.

They are looking for a number of people who, for different reasons, need to fly somewhere this Summer but have a fear of flying. Visiting a relative? Going on holiday? Having to fly for work for the first time? They are looking for people from all walks of life.
