The petty politics (with two small p's) that is currently going in with the ladies county golf. Give some women power and they just use it to further their own cause, whilst also magnifying their two-facedness and bitchiness. I know women can be flipping awful but it does seem way more prolific in golf than I've encountered in other sports I've played. I'm pretty much at the "stuff it - get on with it" and walk away stage...about which they wouldn't care a jot.

Equally irritating is they hide behind emails and, when confronted face to face, deny everything and talk about messages being misinterpreted.

Equally irritating is the fact I'm irritated when I'm not that fussed about playing anyhow! I guess it's just the principle and the way things are handled.

Three irritations, all within a couple of hours!
Was doing some gardening as a favour for a neighbour of mine;

1. Spent the first 15 minutes clearing dog poo off the lawn.
2. Got my first nettle stings of the year, on my right ankle and calf.
3. Knelt on a dead holly leaf .................... wowsers, I felt that one!

But the weather was glorious.(y)

Forums are all the same - users come and go and the forum moves forward

What we have seen though over the last couple of years is the number of forum members who have left are those that supported the meets , hosted multiple members and for some organised the big meets for us all

That’s a big part of the forum that’s gone missing for me - the chat and discussion will always be there regardless of who is around , it’s just a shame imo that the forum has lost that little area of playing golf with other forum members and meeting new ones.

Many of those guys are arranging games and trips away from the forum and for me that’s a shame but it is what it is and the forum will continue on
I've never been to a forum meet but wish I had. Seems that some of the guys that have left put more into this forum for others than they got out of it for themselves. Shame really.

Definitely miss a couple of guys, but there is also the other side of the coin were some of those that have left didn’t contribute to the forum, put their name down for every competition/freebie giveaway and took advantage of those organising the meets to get cheap golf.

Glad to see the back of those!

Just went to a price comparison website to check how much I'll have to pay when my energy contract is up for renewal in April.
I currently pay £97 per month.
Lowest quote is £275.
That's a £2136 per year increase and 3 times the number being quoted on the news.
If it doesn't settle down between now and April, we might have to review our lifestyle slightly.

The price cap is now set so I dont see the price dropping much .. not until October when it is reviewed and upped again most likely

This is look to be set for at least 2 years but now longer because they are loaning to firms so it's buy now pay later

Its prob 2 year min of these prices if not more

Just found out the company I work for have been bought out by a large German firm. It probably means the lads out on the road are going to have a much bigger and broader work load in the foreseeable future. May be a good thing, I’m really not sure.

The price cap is for standard tariffs only and not for fixed term deals so don't try to compare one to the other.

Not really random.. but the price rises are bonkers. What is even more bonkers, is that. with one hand prices are being raised, while on the other, money is being given to pay it.

Fuel price goes up X.... I need to pay the higher utility bill next month
£200 'help' coming my way... but not till Oct!!
I need to pay the 200 back too.


Public finance is in tatters. Complete blind eye to wastage and write offs while millions choosing between heating and eating.

I fixed until April 2023 just before xmas it went from 150 to 210 a month. Just had an email from them today saying my DD is too high and they are dropping it by 30 a month! No Idea what is going on!
