msc 17,760 Posted December 26, 2015 Tennis coach Darren Tandy did have a spot on the 2016 Pan Breed team. He doesn't anymore. Obit, eventually, should be guaranteed as he was James Ward's coach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Impends 7,367 Posted January 11, 2016 Tennis coach Darren Tandy did have a spot on the 2016 Pan Breed team. He doesn't anymore. Obit, eventually, should be guaranteed as he was James Ward's coach. Indeed gets a qualifying death mention. Despite that, however, it may have been a lucky break he died before the starting line, as I still can't find any mention of his age. Even the generic local death notice has no specifics as to how old he was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the_engineer 1,405 Posted June 22, 2016 Anyone hear or seen recent pics of Marion Bartoli that has got to be the most shocking transformation i have ever seen . She looks 30 years older. Seems to me Marion is one of those girls who are naturally a bit chunky and her being thin makes her look unnatural and she now looks like a cancer patient or a drug addict . I was probably one of the few who thought she was reasonably attractive before the weight loss, she was cute not a stunner but Now she looks awful. I wonder if she is ill or maybe has issues , rumours for years about her being 'close' to her father etc . One to keep an eye on for the future that's for sure. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3651907/She-doesn-t-look-healthy-Fans-Wimbledon-star-Marion-Bartoli-Twitter-express-concern-dramatic-weight-loss.html 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
