    Carling Cup Final

    Agree that had I been a neutral I would not have watched. Perhaps you could institute a democratic vote system to select what is on the TV (say every 15 minutes)

    Carling Cup Final

    Not much of a game. Lennon should have been man of the match as he gave Evra his hardest game since his debut. But United found their new No1 (and England's)and Jonny Evans and Anderson continued to grow into the team. With 6 regualr first teamers on the bench it showed the in-depth strength...

    You're not gonna eat that are you?

    Yorkshire pudding at the start of a meal completely threw my kids years ago when we visited friends in Bingley. They were worried that was all they would get to eat. Also enjoyed prok pie, mushy peas and mint sauce in a works canteen with the directors of the company I was working at .It became...

    Footballer of the Year

    I know it is very early in the season (but by this time last year there was only one winner)who do you think will be Footballer of the Year (either players' player or football writers)?

    Titleist X-Outs

    I bought a dozen last week and used them in the frosty conditions last Saturday. They were OK & it certainly made spotting the ball easier from a distance (& I didn't lose 1 in the 9 holes I played)

    Advice on travelling with golf clubs

    Parmo Depends on the size of the car! Sorry couldn't resist. As an example we had a 5 door Renault Clio last year for 2 of us. With on backseat folded down the clubs fitted lengthways with our cases alongside without a problem. With 4 people I have used a Reanult Kangoo equivalent and clubs...

    How long do you take addressing the ball?

    No more than 10 seconds as any longer allows me to think - a fatal problem

    Handicap Certs

    The only course I have been asked for a Cert was Vila de Lobo - Ocean last September. The Villamoura - Laguna & Millenium did not ask for Cert. As others have said it may be to stop "hackers" but then they haven't seen me play!!

    Advice on travelling with golf clubs

    As Clive says some airlines (e.g. Jet2) have a separate weight allowance / charge for golf clubs/ bags etc. I went to Portugal last year & packed clubs (in cart bag), shoes etc in a Wilson travel bag (with wheels). Used beach towels to cushion everything and bought an extending bar "thing"...

    Winter Greens- Just hateful...

    Played Saturday on an almost totally frozen course. One good thing was the imporvement in my driving distances!! On a 450 yard par 5 I almost reached the green thanks to the bounce and run. But the greens were impossible - so I just picked up after the first 5 as it wasn't worth the anguish.
