We just been informed that the club (D&SHGC, SE London) was broken into and most of the trophies stolen. They were seen in the act by our on-site steward but he was threatened with an axe, so rightly backed off. I know this has happened before elsewhere (and a mate who lives down there has...

I had £6k in my mind, so you're probably right .

Can see why they'd do it, as it's pretty expensive. Was once told the figure for us - I can't now remember it, but it was a heck of a lot. I guess each club has to work out whether the cost of it justifies the return it gets by other means. (We kept Sky but ditched BT - as was - because...

Yes, that's the character played by Penn - but he played it extremely well.

Gonna buck the trend, and say I very much enjoyed 'One Battle After Another'. Sean Penn was outstanding, as was indeed Benicio Del Toro. Would have been happy if either had got the Oscar. Also just seen 'Sinners' (as it was free whilst on holiday). Not my normal genre of film, but enjoyed it...

Just bought the Mrs the full set as she decided she wants to read it. (THGTTG is one of my absolute favourites). But bear in mind, it was originally written as a radio series and the books came later. The radio series is brilliant and should not be missed. (Much superior to the books). Douglas...

My (sadly now ex) foursomes partner got invited to Augusta to play the course the week before the Masters - and thence to stay over to see the competition. Unsurprisingly, he suddenly had a lot of 'friends' who he was unable to take with him ...

I'm intrigued as to who/what/where it's been said that something can be both a movable obstruction as well as an immovable obstruction?

Since I became aware of the significance of today's fixture, was convinced that whoever lost would be the third team down. But thought it would be Forest as was not convinced we could win. Spurs now need to up their game else I may be proved right.

Spurs then. In recent times have thought that the loser of Spurs v Forest were the ones to go down. So thank gawd we won ...

Think there's a misnomer in the phrase 'right of way'. Curent guidelines don't rely on that phrase. Pedestrians (generally) have 'priority' - which means they should be favoured. But that doesn't mean they can just wander about at will. Can't just step out in front of a vehicle and claim ' it...

Justice done, and we're through ... I just wish they didn't do this to me - my nerves are in tatters.

Reading the definitions, I'd say that things can be both - ie all movable obstuctions are outside influences. (But not all outside influences are movable obstructions). And the definition of 'movable obstruction' specifically mentions 'mowers'.

I'd suggest that 11.1b(2) confirms your belief that the stroke should be re-played
