Although unrelated, Middlesbrough FC have just issued a statement saying the business rates have doubled in the last two years. Maybe the same applies to golf clubs…?

Very sad to read this. Played there a number of times in the Teesside League. A cracking course, great members and always a friendly welcome.

Sometimes clubs do it as part of a package for outstanding payments from their previous sack. If he’s owed £1m, they agree to write it off in the new contract. As a sacked manager I’d tell them to do one, and let them continue paying me.

I’d pretty much given up finding a decent steak in the U.K., especially in a restaurant. I’d heard all the hype about steaks in Spain. It’s not hype at all. In 8 years I’ve had, maybe, 3 steaks that were rubbish. In the main, they’re unbelievably good. Sadly, what I can’t get very easily is...

I was a member at Murcar & Cruden Bay. Cruden Bay is better. Also, it has a 9 hole course in the middle if you fancy making a day of it. Play the 9 holer in the morning then the 18 in the afternoon.

Ooh, I’d forgotten about Elie. Great course…

Er no, Cruden Bay is only on the way home if you’re heading north. It’s 30 miles north of Aberdeen.

Second sentence of the op says “somewhere to play on the way home.” Definitely agree with Cruden Bay if he’s looking for another course up there.

If it’s somewhere on the way home, assuming you’re going down the M74/M6, Southerness or Silloth. If you’re looking for an overnighter at either I’d choose Dumfries or Carlisle.

Having a pop at expats is not uncommon, and often ignorant. Depending on who your employers were in the U.K. an expat may well still pay tax in the U.K. But most importantly for me, my family live in the U.K., and I want what’s best for them. Bizarrely, I can also vote in U.K. elections even...

I wondered where the Mrs was… ;) :ROFLMAO:

Saw our first swallow of the summer late last week, a few yesterday and a lot more than a few today. Summers is coming…

Worse! Some Spanish brand that smells like burning camel dung. Thankfully, she only smokes out on the terrace. I, foolishly, suggested for the nth time she gives up… the bruise is slowly going down…

What BM said, inc meds to ease the symptoms. Mrs H & I are 5 weeks in. My cough is just tickly but Mrs H sounds like she smokes Woodbines. We’re both out and about, and fine now apart from the cough. Good luck.

Kelvin Phillips on for less than 10 mins puts in a stellar pass to Bamford, one goal back.
