Yes. Indeedy. Some pairing earlier today, she got aced, they went and touched knuckles. Yep, well done, you were really unlucky, well played. No. You didn't even twitch as the ball went past.
We have a work experience girl in this week, I am doing it as a favour to an ex-employer. She has to do it for school, she had nothing else set up. She 'is a bright girl' apparently. Reality is different. I know she doesn't want to be here but she is surly, has no common sense, no drive and is not capable of the most basic of tasks. It's hard work

Maybe your guidance needs to be clearer, try; Here's a bucket & sponge, fill it with water and go wash my car, please

Sorry but I disagree..
She is a professional tennis player, he is a professional journalist and I dont think any one who watched the match could feel she had played very poorly after a very promising tournament up until this time..

There's there thing I feel sportspeople don't owe us (the public) an explanation... Politicians absolutely but not, for me, sportsfolk...
Participation medals. Just seen some young lad be told to stop and wait for 40 seconds on a 800m race so they could all cross the line together at my daughters sports day. Pathetic.

Not just me that gets wound up with this then. My 7 year recently had her first gymnastics comp, she worked so hard on putting a little routine together bless her, she practised for hours at home in the garden, come competition day she went out and got herself a podium up against more experienced people. Come medal presentation time she's there beaming she gets her medal for good performance, low and behold everybody else also got one for taking part. Completely took the shine off her achievements as she could not understand why they got one when she and the other 2 podium finishers basically got the same reward for working harder and better performance .
I hate it mate. I've no problem with everyone getting rewarded for participation as long as the winners get theirs too.
My old man was probably too extreme. I lost count of the 2nd place failures i had...I'd never berate mine for that, but I also think it's shocking not to praise the best either....

Completely agree, maybe give them a certificate to say well done you competed I said event. But let the winners then have their medals and moment of glory.
My dad was and still is the same. Amount of times he told me "2nd place is first loser 😂" my favourite was a football cup game as an 11year old I remember going in for a crunching tackle with a much bigger kid. You heard the crunch and squeels of the other lad so loud, I got up with a slight limp and could here my dad shouting at me" you've got another leg so just get on with it and run it off" this was whilst the other poor kid went off to hospital and all the parents looked at my old man like some kind of psycho effectively telling his child to man up 😂
That's my family motto too lol
Be it sports or academics. He likes to telly girls all about how I failed to get the last 1% in a maths test ðŸ˜

What a load of crap. No wonder England/Britain never wins anything if this is what's taking place in our schools.

You sure we're not related 😂
I remember coming home after my selection for the forces proud telling my dad how I'd passed all the fitness tests and how my 1.5mile time was 3rd fastest overall from a selection of 64 entrants and I'd beaten the required time by 2mins. His only comeback was "so what you're saying is you let 2 people beat you" 😂
One of my proudest moments was finally beating him at sport (tennis) for the first time at 18. I say I beat him. He smashed his racquet at 6-4 6-1 5-0 so claims he lost due to dq and I never beat him 😂😂
That said, since he's taken up golf I've had plenty of revenge. Highlight being when he missed a 2 ft putt to half a match after he presumed it was a gimme.... 😉

Please stop with these generic statements with no basis
England/Britain win loads - just check the last couple of Olympics tables for example
