Random Irritations

Going out for a meal with family members to celebrate a sister's birthday.
A really lovely evening with all going swimmingly well ......................... until the bill arrives.
I say divide it between all of us, except the birthday girl obviously, when suddenly sister No.2 says that's not fair because she didn't drink as much as the others and she didn't have a dessert when two of us did!!
Phone out, calculator app engaged and she works out her bill to the penny and wouldn't contribute to the tip afterwards.
Pathetic performance.
Next time I'll pay for everybody, but it'll be ticket only and I'm the ticket master!!

Sounds like the wifes sister.

she comes up stays 3 nights for free, drinks all out booze stays out each night till late, wakes everyone up getting a 3 in the morning on a work night. never once offering to pay for anything, went for a meal with the wife one night, wanted halfers and not pay for any booze or a tip.

easy solution, we don't let her stay anymore, has to stump for a hotel, doesn't like that one bit esp the summer rates when all the hotels are tourist prices

Ok then.

Listening to people who were born into great wealth, privately educated at the best schools, given great opportunities because of Family and School connections, never had to worry about bills getting paid etc.

Having to listen to them tell me that they are fighting against the so called "Elite".

No mate. You are the Elite. You may have a disagreement with another branch of the Elite network, but not a single solitary one of you has any idea what it's like to live from paycheck to paycheck. To have to save for essentials. To have to make a decision as to which essential is most essential.

You don't represent me. You're a leech who hides wealth, avoids taxes and restricts job opportunities to those who deserve it.

Ahhhh. I feel better now. And I didn't even say 1 tenth of what I wanted to say 😂

Members who think the directive to use fairway mats doesn't apply to them! I know there's a whole other thread about this but it really, really grates especially as they are usually using an electric trolley and a bag with everything AND the kitchen sink in it!

At the weekend I said to one guy "you're walking past the mats and you need one" - his reply "I'm going to the putting green first". So yeah right he was walking past the mats to putt and then planned to come back to pick one up. His mates were on the putting green so I said to one of them he needed a mat (directive was only a few days old) and he went and collected his and one for his mate too!!

I don't want to use one but of course will do so. Can't see me enjoying my golf until it's lifted as I feel like the mat police!

Like wise, but why should some have to and others think its fine to just ignore

People who call, you don’t answer, so they immediately call again - what’s the purpose? If it’s urgent, leave me a voicemail, if not just hang up and I’ll call back as soon as I can.

Repairing five or six pitch marks on every green ................................ probably caused by the buggers who complain about the state of the greens!

Won't have that problem tomorrow.... we'll be lucky to make a mark on the greens at all let alone make a pitchmark and get the pitchfork on the ground...
Supposed to be -2 or 3 T 8am tomorrow..
Sweet

The blanket coverage of the "story" of a 97yr old man who's had a car accident in which he's not hurt in the slightest. This can't possibly be that important. Does anyone actually care? I'd rather have Brexit news!!!!!!!!

I’m amazed he survived even the smallest knock, he looks like he’s been mummified. I thought he’d turn to dust at the slightest contact

I think he's using the Queen Mum's leftover potions to keep him alive.

Did he stop to give his and his insurance details?

I'm somewhat surprised that Richart is allowed to drive at his age let alone the DOE at his!!

 

[USER1999]

The aged one nearly ran me over in Winsor great park 25 years ago. I was amazed he was allowed to drive then, as either his eye sight was awful, or he didn't give a monkeys what was in front of his car.

Sarah Ferguson Duchess of York had a go at running me over at Wentworth some years back

Does that account for one of your titanium hips? 😂😂😂

 

[srixon 1]

That's , but needs to be done, best of luck mate.
BTW in Scotland, a home test kit is sent out every 2 years. Not sure of what the age groups are.

In dorset it's 55 when they ask if you want the scan. Daft not to.

She probably would be more likely to cause the yips than the hips !
