Old Farts v Whippersnappers itinerary.....(last thread on the subject!).

Have been preparing for this on a diet of prunes, licorice and pears. All high fibre stuff that the Doc said would help.
My golf hasn't improved but at least I won't wake my room mate up in the morning with unnecessary splashes.

Still likely that you will piss yourself mate! Should be a nice rainbow over the bed though!
 
Played a big club competition today and after a few holes my back was going into spasm.:( Good news was that after 9 holes that claxon went for thunder and lightening and the comp was cancelled. My back seemed to be easing after a few beers, and my 49 for the front nine was scrubbed from the record books.:)

I managed 20 shots on the practice ground yesterday before I felt my back start to tighten up. Way better than a week ago - got some great drugs for it. Looks like us Old Farts could be renamed the sick, lame and lazy.

Drug yourself up, you'll be right mate. Or not, which will make our inevitable victory even easier ;)
 
I assume we are checking into our rooms after the golf or can we check in before hand? Just so I know what to wear for the drive up early doors :)

We are checking in AFTER the golf G1BBO.
The hotel is right by the course so we'll be there within 5 mins.
Wear up there what you intend playing in, back to the hotel afterwards, quick shower and then some din dins and a beer or two.

Sorry to here your in pain mate.
Get better soon
 
a little bird told me theres a working mens club up the road with snooker tables and £2.70 a pint :D

thats right up this tight northern gits street ;)

It's a conservative club, so you its not open to the public, so to speak. Collared shirt dress code I believe (never been in myself as a lot of the people who go there are total knobs).

Summary

Drip drip drop - more than a little April shower

April 2011 was the warmest April across the UK since records began and April 2012 still looks very unlikely to challenge that record. If April showers bring forth May flowers as the saying goes, then we may be admiring some beautiful blooms next month.
We keep the unsettled pattern this week, and with low pressure looking set to linger into May, cool and showery conditions will prevail.

Monday 16 April—Sunday 22 April

A similar story

Low pressure will remain in charge through this week, which means showers are once again going to dominate our weather pattern. With very unstable air across the UK these showers are likely to be heavy and thundery, bringing hail at times and snow across northern hills.
On occasion, these showers will merge, bringing longer spells of rain. The west of the country will see the lion's share of the wet weather at the start of the week, with the best of any sunny spells in the east on Monday. However as the week gets fully underway the wet and windy weather will make its way west to east, swiftly followed by blustery showers. These will, on occasion, merge to give longer spells of rain, especially across the south later on Tuesday into Wednesday.
Temperature-wise we will notice the mercury dropping a little lower than we would normally expect for mid-April and it will often be windy, making it feel that bit cooler. Overnight frost will still be a possibility from time to time, particularly in the countryside and especially on Monday morning, when it will be particularly sharp and damaging.

Monday 23 April—Sunday 29 April

A lingering low

Low pressure seems very reluctant to leave as we head towards May, therefore unsettled weather is likely to continue across country, bringing rain and showers. Some short interludes of fine and settled weather are likely to be mixed in too.
In association with some heavier spells of rain it is likely to be windy once again, and generally it will be breezy, making it feel chilly for the time of year. Overnight frosts are still likely from time to time when the wind becomes light, particularly for inland rural areas.

Monday 30 April—Sunday 13 May

Ne’er cast a clout till May be out

The changeable theme of April looks as though it will be carried forth into May. Although some drier and brighter spells are expected, further rain or showers are likely for most places, accompanied by a chilly feel.
There is the chance that pressure may start to build from the southwest towards the middle of May, which would settle things down across southern and western parts of the country, and as a result rainfall amounts here may end up lower than average. The north and east look to stay cloudier and wetter than normal, on balance.

aka... a bag o' sh***
