Random Irritations

Well you can read what material it's made out of before you order. If it has elastane or spandex in it then it's the more stretchy kind.

You’d think that would help. However, I ordered two 3/4 zip wind tops last week from American Golf. Both with 6% elastine. The Footjoy one is a bit ‘clingy’, but fine. However the Puma one fits like a wetsuit.
 
Hob blew up monday, took until Thursday for the rental co to get a sparky out. He condemned it immediately had it disconnected. Talk to the rental co on Friday afternoon and they are still waiting for the report and wont be able to look into until monday sigh. Be amazed if we get new one by the end of next week the speed they work at :(

oh well the takeaway firms will do ok this weekend lol
 
Organisations that contact you about jobs, ask for interviews and then tell you at the end what their job is … and it is actually a role that would normally be done by 5 people. I know people want to change and shake up the industry with new processes, but the real issue is the roles are not getting interest or keeping people because they are stressful/ administrative/lack self development. Which leads to me asking how they will enable one person to do this?
 
How unbelievably wrong the weather forecast was for today. Heavy rain from 6am until midday and then thunder storms. Not had a drop. Fortunately we didn't change plans and long dog walk and bike ride completed in the dry...

They are rubbish though!
 
fcast i saw only had 10% chance of rain, drove down to London and saw plenty, not to mention sitting on the A1 for over half an hour whilst they cleared up a crash 100 yards in front :( Geez I hate driving down there, see 2 or 3 accidents every time!

I'm hoping I feel the same tomorrow. I'm playing at Close House and the forecast is hovering between dry, torrential rain, thunder and lightning. On Thursday it was due to be armageddon, now we are at largely dry with some heavy rain. I toyed with cancelling but I'm going to gamble. I hope I hit as lucky as you ?

I hate driving anywhere in this country. Roads too busy and the standard of driving is shocking. I'd have to say mainly by artics - which are usually very dangerous on the A14. Having seen the news article about drivers being in demand and getting big pay increases I wonder if their arrogance on the road is on the rise!
 
The filling of news with interviews of Dave, Barry and Brenda talking before and after a match. It adds nothing, no insight, no value. They are nervous, excited, England will win, it's coming home etc ?. It's just poor quality filling.

I know, its scandalous. All those lorries on the road taking up space, blocking the cars from going straight from the on slip to the outside lanes is just shocking.
 
I'm sure I've pit this on here before but its a regular occurance; people who think its a) a good idea and b) safe to drive 40 up a motorway slip and try merging with traffic moving at over 60. Absolute insanity and just witnessed a near miss when some old geezer just merged at 40, seemingly without even looking, and was nearly wiped out by a bus.

Sometimes weather is only an estimate. We played yesterday (hill top course) we could see the rain all around us but not a drop on the course. I had got my winter waterproof bag out and transferred everything before the round in preparation. Lo
Local news was reporting flooding in the next town to where I live and we had none.
 
Just read on the civic forum.that they recommend cam belt replacement at 75k miles and they charge £1800 to do it ?
Think I'll be changing it before then

But if he had his indicators on. That gives him right of way! That's how it works, right?
