A power cut since 12.30 caused by some clown cutting through a cable on a local building site. They had better hurry up and fix it otherwise it will be salad for dinner!

Indeed; I'd probably put my back out trying to get that low.

So I got in touch with a woman at Lidl who put me in touch with a guy at Lidl who put me in touch with a woman in Germany
( lakeside) who was American. She has now arranged a new rotary tool to be sent to me. Only took me 3 weeks.
So today I called into the club shop to ask if they have heard owt re me Nine iron.the weight fell out and needs gluing back in. It’s been gone 2 weeks. Guy in the shop says call in end of round and ask club pro. So I did. I asked have you heard owt. “No it’s still at Ping and it shouldn’t be long“. ? Er right, if it’s not back in the shop it’s got to be at Ping. Now normally I would not be bothered but I thought he couldn’t be rrrsed to chase it up. And seeing as am at Forest Pines this weekend going without me nine iron “ wand” is not what I wanted.
So as soon as I got home I called Ping. Spoke to a helpful guy called Rob. I explained the situation. He said that he cannot talk about individual orders, but if I ring up the club pro, he can call Ping Gainsboro and they will tell him exactly where my club is in the process Of repair and return. Now am sure the club park knows this already so the question is didn’t he? Bottom line is am bloody livid. 4 th time a weight has dropped out, that I can put up with. Ping have been straight with me. But “ buy from your club shop”. Not when it’s a rubbish service.

Almost all my clubs are Ping, but they are a funny company. I've found that they are extremely personable, but always refuse to tell you anything useful or specific, as if it somehow breaches a contract they have with the retailers. All of the delays are clearly at their end but haven't been communicated to the middleman that they insist on using, but they always leave you feeling like it's entirely the retailers fault.
It's a very clever way of insulating themselves from blame.
Great clubs though.

I bought one of those magnetised phone holders for the car that clips into your air vent. The phone holder works great, but unfortunately the air vents in my Fiesta are awkwardly positioned and there isn't a single spot where I can put it and the phone sits comfortably with me able to see the screen. ??

Assuming it's the one where you stick a thin steel plate to the back of your phone... in my old car, I stuck the magnet to a flat bit of fascia on the centre console using a blob of blue tack. It stayed in place for 4 years.I bought one of those magnetised phone holders for the car that clips into your air vent.

It took me about a month of hard thinking to come up with that high tech solution.

Portrait has always been better, in my experience - see what's ahead rather than what's off to the side. Unless you're driving in the Indie 500, in which case just follow the car in front anyway.

Gents toilets - why are there always fewer hand dryers than wash basins. Washing and drying hands takes about the same time, so why make us queue to dry our hands?

What make is the boiler? If it's a Vaillant, check out the fixed price repair on their website. We had to use it a couple of weeks ago and it was a) brilliant & b) saved us a fortune. Apparently Worcester Bosch do similar.

Oddly no fault showing
Fortunately my mate is a gas registered engineer and on his way. We work mates rates, you scratch my back and the barter system
.Probably just a sensor or diverter valve . fingers crossed.
He renewed a leaking plastic inlet part 2 weeks ago.

Do you play golf left handed?
With me it's always the right shoe that goes first. I've always assumed it's of where I flex my right foot when I finish my swing, but that's just a random guess.

My subwoofer packed in last weekend, the speaker was buzzing like mad when it kicked in. I found a cheap replacement speaker which I ordered and got delivered but half an hour ago.
Just taken the old one out and I found these little beggars jammed up against the speaker...
They look such a happy couple.
Anyway I refitted the old speaker and obviously it's working spot on now ?
Anyone want an 8" subwoofer speaker? ?
