Lashing down yet again! This the longest break from golf I've had in years, and that includes going on holiday. I don't know what day it is anymore and my armchair will be worn out soon. 😒

Not 'arf. I kept asking my wife "What's that creepy intro got to do with this story?" 🤢

Just watched Silent Witness (seriously). All I can say is I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

I suspect I may have expressed this some time back. Apologies. After 34/35 years I was called to a meeting, with no prior indication, to be be notified of my severance terms. 58, given the full package and terms of retirement age, 65. 8 months notice!! I bricked myself as I had no retirement...
