    Not another sex discrimination thread

    A case against a club having men only competitions on a Saturday was won here. Consequently the club had to make the course available to men and women at weekends. Nearly all competitions have become 'opens' and men and women play in the same comps. According to a Human Rights publication, for...

    Laptop advise

    Nowt wrong with the AMD A6 processor, probably better integrated graphics than the Intel i3. You can easily get one around 300 bucks. I have two HP Pavilions, both with AMD A6 processors, 6 gb of ram and 500 gb hard drives now running Windows 10. Reliable and handle anything, even mid range...

    Smoking in Cars with Chidren is now Illegal ..but

    I do not see why. Annuities in particular are a poor investment if life expectancy is exaggerated. In the most simple formula invested capital, divided by the number of years a client is expected to live, is returned plus interest. The longer a client is expected to live the worse the annual...

    Smoking in Cars with Chidren is now Illegal ..but

    It may well be that medical science has increased life expectancy, rather than changes in the way we damage our (and others) bodies. My point was that smoking by proxy has been no more damaging to health, apparently, than obesity which will be the biggest killer. I wouldn't be surprised to see...

    Smoking in Cars with Chidren is now Illegal ..but

    I asked my doctor how it has been determined that people are living longer. He said that it is evidenced by so many people now living into their 80s and 90s. I remarked that this was rather contradictory to other data, as these people were of a generation that probably smoked from the age of...

    David Cameron

    Hey, where does it say me, me, me. I made a point, which was true for a lot of people at that time. There will always be those that do well, depending who is in government. For my part, I have never been able to gain much when the 'Something for Nothing Parties' have been in power - but have...

    I'd put good money on it? P.S. I did really well in the Thatcher years. Some did - some din' :smirk:

    Osborne is waiting in the wings - and will probably be the best leader this country has had since Thatcher. :thup:

    Hot toddy - cold remedies

    Genius - in our family it is the perfect cold remedy. I sleep like a log after taking this - and a few days later fine! Mind you, I have gone a complete year without a cold. Had my first flu jab last October and was sniffle free till this years flu jab two days ago. It may also be that I...

    Fair Play?

    A concession has to be 'given' - the rest is just gamesmanship surely? Who knows, perhaps this was a setup, American girl a known picker upper and an opportunity to get her to do it in the match, bide your time, make a confident stride away, after her first putt - Bingo! Can't see the problem...

    Fair Play?

    There may have been a bit of tit for tat here. This comment was under that video link. "USA Captain Bradley said they "have only the greatest respect for the rules of the game" and that they "followed the rules as written" after forcing Annika Sorestam to retake the chip she holed in 2000."...
