Mrs Dando “needing†my car tomorrow for the built in sat nav when there’s a perfectly good one in the kitchen drawer or she could use her iPhone!
It’s buggered up my plans to go to the caravan and get away from everything for the night

do you not know the way to your caravan without your in car sat nav
Having to do a slalom through the estate to avoid the bins left out. Does no-one look out their windows and see the wind? Loads of crap now blowing its way around the streets. Bin men don't come until at least 8.00am tomorrow so why the rush to get the bin out

The use of the word "bomb" when describing anything weather related. Is this what society has come to when even the genial discussion topic of the weather is being sexed up and sensationalised.

Don't forget, the Daily Express told us six months ago it was going to be one of the worst winters in living memory. Then again, they said that in 2017, 2016, 2015 etc etc.

Conor McGregor being an imbecile again. Wish he'd just get back to fighting regularly - I miss 2015.

The overhype of the Players especially from Sky
It’s just at a tour event that’s enhanced because of one par 3
It’s not and never will be the 5th major -

Because you say so? Lots of people enjoy it more than the PGA, an actual major.

Nah, I'm with Phil. The overhype of the Players is so gross. In the US they were showing people arriving to practice at TPC Sawgrass while the competition was still happening at Bay Hill. Who cares that Phil Mickelson has just turned up at the course they're playing next week?! The Players is a good tournament don't get me wrong, I like watching the drama on 17 and the year Rickie clutched up and put on a clinic in the closing holes was one of my favourite finishes to a tournament ever, but the hype they're trying to build for the tournament is so false and feels so forced. No-one cares about The Players as much as the PGA Tour want them to.

It’s not a major - thats a fact and it’s also my opinion it never will be

The fact that Ch4 is only showing one F1 GP live this year, the British GP and that will probably go next year too.
AND but not surprisingly........Jenson Button has joined the sky team for some races.

I like the Players and to think the course is the sum of one par three is a very blinkered view. It shouldn't be a major and I don't think there's a strong enough argument to add any event as a fifth major or drop any of those we already have and I don't need random google searches to tell me it's not a major. However, ask any of the players and most will say they really look forward to the players and it is one of the PGA events they'd really like to win. I don't blame Sky for bigging it up either. Its a big week on the PGA schedule and a place everyone has become familiar with over the years of coverage. As they bothered to go out and do a deal to show live golf on TV why shouldn't they promote and broadcast how they see fit.

e-ticket delivery charges. How on earth does it cost you £1.65 to pop me an email with my PDF tickets attached?? Robbing charlatans.

I won't see much of The Players, as I am off to China on Saturday. I might watch a bit on Friday night though.
Apparently they have commissioned a theme tune for it. Got to hear that. Could be the best thing about it.

Do they write you a new tune every time you go to China?

The Cheltenham Festival.
Takes over radio 5 with boring horse racing commentary and back in 1991 I got kicked out of my digs when the festival was on 😂

Strange that on the GM facebook page they have "time for the unofficial 5th major" and yet no flaming of that compared to Sky's somehow OTT promotion and coverage

Wait until June when it's two weeks, not four days, of bloody Wimbledon.
Anyway it's about time there's something worth listening to on 5 Live.
