    Happiest place in Britain

    I'm 51, 1 partnered up daughter + granddaughter living the other side of town, son 19 still at home with desire to join the forces. Yes, Aylesbury is one of the cheapest areas in Bucks (I would imagine Wycombe probably on a par). What frustrates me is all of the housing developments going on...

    Happiest place in Britain

    Aylesbury truly is a soulless s_hole, I really struggle to think of anything positive to say about the place. Shame as it used to be a lovely market town...maybe 30-40 years ago - before massive over development and almost zero investment in infrastructure. Me and Mrs K are starting to look at...

    Heated Shoulder Pads

    I forgot to mention that wheat bags are not suitable for our microwave (something to do with it not having a turntable?). Original post edited to reflect this.

    Heated Shoulder Pads

    Do any of the forum members have any experience with heated shoulder pads? I bought this from Menkind the other day and having tried it out tonight, it will be going straight back for a refund. The "heat" is a mere "warmth" measuring around 30C (used a meat thermometer) and the "massage"...

    Driving Range price increases

    I guess that you're referring to Bierton.... They have invested a lot in the place, but adding a bar and a couple of new targets, doesn't enhance the practice. I go to the range to work on my ball striking, but I refuse to pay the inflated ball prices when they don't have anything extra to offer...

    Course suggestions Hawkhurst / Kent

    Thanks for all your feedback - very much appreciated. I think that it's a toss up between Wield (looks nice and forgiving) and Dale Hill (old course). Thanks @Hacky for the kind offer, I'd be looking to play mid-week lunchtime / early afternoon if that works for you. I'd better also check with...

    Course suggestions Hawkhurst / Kent

    Staying in Hawkhurst in a couple of weeks and looking for suggestions.... High HC (28'ish) friendly 18 holes Buggy (the Mrs will drive, she doesn't play) Reasonable green fees (up to £50 mid-week) Up to 30 mins drive from Hawkhurst Wield of Kent looks reasonable - anyone played there? Cheers

    Eurovision 2022

    Not sure what the plan is for next year given that the winning country hosts the competition. Thoroughly enjoyed it tonight - actually feel bad for Germany who got 0 from the jury votes, quite liked the song.

    Random Irritations

    Speaking from recent personal experience, mental illness (depression, anxiety, etc) is very real and can easily turn a logical person into the complete opposite to the point where living just doesn't seem "worth it" or manageable. The real problem is that whilst there are services out there to...

    Random Irritations

    People complaining about "grammar police".... It can be difficult to resist the urge when you have ASD - seeing bad grammar or spelling really bothers me at times. I do try to resist the temptation to correct bad grammar, but it can cause mental anguish.

    New Bargains Thread

    CORRECT. There was no communication and customers had to wait weeks for refund.
