Australia was THE power in tennis during my years of futility at it 1963-1967.
Sbooker Scenic Hiking in the Alps, May/June 2026
- Thread starter Sbooker
- Start date
I went on a fishing charter with Yvonne Cawley once. I out fished her.
I had no idea about them until I arrived in Nice for my semester there (the morning after a one-foot dump of snow!). I wasn't a fan of walking on the rocks; however, I like sand even less. A short time at a beach goes a long way with me.
There was a British pub in the old section called the "Hole in the Wall," where UKers would go and drink themselves silly. It was the first time I'd ever witnessed people barfing in streets. I learned the slang term "tactical chunder" -- used to describe the act of intentionally throwing up after drinking too much so you can go back to drinking. Lovely.
It was also in the old section where I skipped classes for two days and watched Prince shoot scenes for his stinker movie "Under The Cherry Moon."
It's been so long since I've taken a warm-weather vacation in Europe (40 years) that this report feels very exotic!
We are not beach people either. This is very much a novelty for us.
I had not heard the term ‘tactical chunder’ but I know a few blokes who adopted that method in the late 1980s. Next time I see them I am going to teach them the term.

I don’t know but I think it might be the early summer time frame.
I know you love these signs @jamesdeluxe
For some reason, I don't mind them in an urban context.
That was my impression. I had a delightful Mediterranean cruise plus a few days in Rome in this exact time frame in 2004.

I like them. I don't want to see them in our National Parks, but don't mind them otherwise.
On a scuba trip in the 2010s, I remember Cozumel, Mexico, had one near its port/cruise ship area that I thought was appropriate.
Too much....
