    Just seen this. Wasn’t he a pro at Birchwood(Warrington) at some point. Think he was there when I played a MDGA match there.

    The Footie Thread

    Whoever comes in is going to be compared with the good version of Salah. Tough act to follow.

    Random Irritations

    Monty Python’s Flying Circus springs to mind. “Well, we had it rough. We lived in a shoe box in the middle of the road…”

    Random Irritations

    Not my irritation but certainly for many home and business owners at the southern end of Mojacar. We had a tremendous storm from around 6pm to midnight last night. The far end of the town has been without electricity since about 8pm. Today is a big money spinner for many of the restaurants...

    Dementia Awareness

    Mrs H’s mum’s last Christmas just seemed to happen around her. But where we all connected, where she was actually with us was when I put the carols on. She’d said, “I know this,” or sing along lost in her own thoughts. We could still talk to her, even hold a conversation but to her she was...

    GPS vs. Laser Rangefinders What Do You Actually Use on the Course?

    The Footie Thread

    Your last sentence is one that is right but, as you say, will be argued far and wide. Even the rules could be read several ways. Ultimately the ref has to make a judgement call. Is it careless, is it with intent, is it reckless, is it dangerous, is it violent? Pick the bones out of that lot.
