Hmm! This is getting more like golf all the time... the more I play, the worse I'm getting. Wordle 303 5/6 ⬜??⬜⬜ ?⬜⬜?⬜ ⬜⬜⬜?⬜ ⬜???⬜ ?????

My phone died so I had to buy a new one. On a positive note, I'm now on a 100% winning steak. On a negative... it's a double bogey streak!? Wordle 302 6/6 ⬜⬜⬜?⬜ ⬜?⬜⬜⬜ ??⬜⬜? ?⬜⬜?? ?⬜??? ?????

In terms of precise location, not very good. But in terms of simplicity of use, it's fine. The watch display changes when you get onto the green and you then press a button for 1, 2 or 3 putts. The fourth button takes you to a second page for four putts plus. If you remember to press the...

Not my best effort today! ? Wordle 301 6/6 ⬜⬜⬜?⬜ ⬜⬜⬜?⬜ ⬜⬜⬜?⬜ ?⬜⬜?⬜ ???⬜? ?????

On a similar note to my post about Starbucks and Costa...Nandos! Just WTF?!?! Dry, old, overcooked chicken in a variety of very ordinary sauces that taste like they've come from a bottle in a supermarket. Had it once, never again. Genuinely don't see the attraction. And yet, some people talk...

He's had a decent couple of games recently but he'll never be an out and out goalscorer in the vein of Aguero. Or did you mean the other Jesus? ?

I don't know enough about county cricket to suggest anyone, but what a sad state of affairs if there's no obvious candidates out there from all those first class counties. I do wonder if we'll look back on this period and see it as the beginning of the end of test cricket? I know people have...

I think it's time to go for the best leader, out of the bunch who may not be quite up to test standard. Stick him to bat at six or seven and let him lead and inspire others by his leadership ability, as opposed to hoping that his batting ability will drag poorer players up. A Mike Brierly type...

They've never managed to bounce back from the retirement of Ian Rush. ?

Costa and Starbucks. I like coffee, and we always make ‘proper’ coffee at home, but it’s unfathomable to me the way coffee has taken over Britain? We used to be a nation of tea drinkers! When did the memo come round that we all had to fall in love with coffee? Even stranger, though, is the...

Cast your minds back 20-25 years…could you have imagined then a world without HMV or Blockbuster video rental?!?!

Not in the same level but it's strange seeing hiking/climbing/outdoors brands that were once niche and high end become so mainstream that they end up being shunned by their original market. Brands like The North Face, Berghaus, even Helly Hansen to some degree have almost become too mainstream...

I think you've nailed it with skoda. ? I've had four new Skodas over the years and I'm that time the response from others has changed from comments like... "Skoda? Why didn't you just buy a second hand version of a better car?" to things like... "Great cars Skodas, amazing value for money."

Sony for music. Once upon a time they absolutely dominated mobile music devices with the original Walkman. When the ipod came out, they launched an updated Walkman based on downloaded music. I was convinced they would wipe the floor with Apple so I bought a Walkman instead of an ipod. I was...
