    He just needs to make sure he tells the student loan company as soon as he withdraws to stop any more payments. But any loan from before that isn't affected.

    That will be a relief to him. He was panicking he would need to pay back the loan in full right away. Thanx

    Always be up front and it can usually be sorted. I was overpaid benefits because my son was supposed to stay at school and then didn't restart after the summer. I was told I had nothing to pay back and when I got the paperwork back there was a note scribbled in the corner...owned up, let her off.

    Nashikori is a terrific player....running Murray ragged with long rallies. Murray just won it to make it 3-2 to GB, saving us from having to play the last match. A great game....which we luckily won.

    It does make me laugh when football managers and players complain about playing 3 matches in a week - they should try what Andy's just done; three matches in three days and this one almost 5 hours. I know who I admire and respect more.

    I loved what Andy said in the interview.

    It's Kim's first Mother's Day, so I want to get home and bath her and put her to bed. (Pause). I mean the baby, not Kim. <laugh>

    I hate all this crap about Andy being a "dour Scotsman", I think with friends and family he's a very witty guy but has been burned by the press a few times too many so doesn't show it, but it is nice to get a peek every now and again :emoticon-0136-giggl

    He is a bit dour. Which is another way of saying dignified and self contained. Quite refreshing from someone in the public eye.

    Just not the life and soul of the party type...nothing wrong with that. He has a sense of humour and seems a genuinely nice person. Apparently prefers to be with a select group of friends and his family....very sensible when you consider the type of people out there waiting for rich celebrities. It is emerging that he is very supportive and takes an interest in the development of young British tennis players.....could be the way his post-playing career goes.

    He managed to sort it. But not before the course tutor saying he lied on his application form. He told my friend that he had lied about not having a learning difficulty. My friend went mad calling it disgusting how the tutor is calling people with mental health issues, learning impaired. Shows what they knew about mental health really.

    I used to find Andy Murray irritating but then I found out that Southampton are his 'English team' and ever since I've found him quite entertaining.

    So a substance that she has been taking within the remit of the law up to 1st January became a banned substance. She says she was taking it for medical reasons. We can accept her word, or not, as the case may be. What is certain what we regard as doping is seen as medication in other cultures so I am not going to raise a clamour that she is banned because you can be certain there are many others taking medication to help muscle tissue repair quickly. It is also worth remembering that if they fail to turn up for a tournament they get no pay. As far as I am aware some substances are used to help repair body tissue quicker than Mother Nature has intended. A friend of mine has suggested that Rugby Union players are en masse taking steroids to bulk up and help repair the body. Ban them all and you wouldn't have a World Cup or Six Nations Tournament.

    In addition, I was talking to a very keen amateur cyclist and he remains convinced that there is still doping en masse in that sport as what they achieve is incomprehensible to him. So it could be a case of the authorities in these sports turning a blind eye or else there is no sport.
