I always ask garage not to wash car. Leave a note on front windscreen as well.
Not having a nice scratchy sponge on my paint work.
You can do that(just as I do) and some idiot still washes it and strips that nice £140 a tub of car wax as well as an abundance of swirl marks

This week we had badminton 8 til 10 on the Monday. This week they've changed their hours from closing at 10 to closing at 9:50, so it doesn't allow you to book the 9 o'clock slot. ?

Dunno if I'm annoyed at the club or the rules .. apparently (not my club) this is outside dining

It's basically your indoor set up but in a tent

With walls!

That doesn't meet the requirements unless they lift open the side walls. Government guidance is outdoor roofed structures have to have at least 50% of their walls open when in use. Of course, this is a picture when nobody is in so people could be getting annoyed for no purpose.

It looks very nice though, fair play.

This bloody work lark...
First full day back in 4 months.....it can do one!
Bring on retirement
I am the only guy in my particular section at work that has not been furloughed. The other two have had at least 6 months off each. They get to do diddly whilst I am still busting a gut.

Posted on FB by the club as covid safe (another hate. Your not. Nothing is. You can't see covid)

However if you want to post it post with walls open so looks legal

The one and only time the wife and I caught the Flu was at a wedding held in a Marque , heated by a propane gas blower heater.
99 guests caught the flu, the bride's mother was the only one that didn't catch it.

It's like the people who buy a house next to a golf course and complain about golf balls going into the garden, or buy a flat next to a nightclub and complain about the noise. Drives me mad.
We had some of them. Their houses were built about 40 years ago, the course has been there since 1909. Their gardens are opposite the 13th green at the other side of a narrow residential road. The main problem was golfers thinning bunker shots over the road and onto their property. We took the green side bunker out. A few balls still went over the boundary so they still complained. That particular boundary hedge is now a load of leylandii trees about 60 foot high and getting higher.

I know that feeling. I am guessing that there will be some issues in companies where people in similar positions have either worked throughout or been furloughed. Yes, those on furlough have had mental anguish about potentially fearing for their jobs but there will be cases where one person has worked throughout and the other has been at home for a significant period on 80-100% pay and are now returning.

There is one at my club which is why it was fresh in my mind. House behind the 14th green, you can see the smashed window where someone ballooned one in there. I have heard that the club is now planning to make that hole much shorter so it becomes a par 3 (and lengthen the 15th to compensate). Annoy for them to have to do that much work to appease someone who knew they were buying a house that's right next to a golf course. I don't understand why they can't just put taller netting up above the fence - but I don't know the full details of the dispute or how long it's gone on.

I like those who moan about train noise when they buy a house near a railway line

Did you go during a weekend shut down for your viewing?

Same reason why Brands Hatch and Mallory park can only run a really limited calendar of races these days... Who would have guessed living near a motorsport track you would hear Engines! Like the Hounslow people that moan about plane noise!! :rolleyes:

Whenever I've played Montecastillo, adjacent to Jerez motor racing circuit, there is often a soundtrack of cars or bikes hurtling round the track, especially when playing the 13th hole.
I absolutely love it.
