    Well I'm an Astronaut and I was joint tennis and hockey national champion by the age of 5.

    Tennis is a game I always wanted to have a go at.

    When I was a kid growing up in London there weren't exactly a plethora of tennis courts in my area. It just wasn't a game that me or any of my mates thought about. It was a game for the posh people, to us.

    After Rugby gave me up ( knees are ****ed) I took up Squash, which I enjoyed. Tennis came onto my radar again. But due to working 12+ hours a day and having a young family at home, I never got the chance to try it. But I'm guessing my knees wouldn't have liked it too much anyway.

    Thanks. I think I'll be taking some diazepam, so I'm relying on that more than luck tbh!!!

    Not while you're driving, I hope!

    I don't have any major family issues. We're not a massively close family as we live so far apart. But I'm closer to my kids than my old man was to me. We did not see eye to eye at all!...

    I won't go into details but all of my immediate family I lived with died when I was little, then out of the other family members no-one stood up for me so I grew up in various children's homes, the streets, anywhere really (all that in a totally alien city to me).

    Now these so called family members will be at the funeral. ****ers.

    But it's not the day to bring that up.

    Meeting my 22 year old son for about the 6th time ever (I'm 37, his mum is now 47) do the maths. Another long story, but not my fault (in many ways).

    I'll be fine driving <ok>

    Again, good luck mate.

    Don't get too down on yourself. You were 15, just a kid yourself. She, on the other hand, should have known better. Sorry to say.

    She worked there. The following year she rocked up with a baby. <yikes>
