I've done my left side because I bought a Graphite Design tour AD IZ X-stiff for my TSi3, and hit 50 balls with it. Absolute waste of time. It was returned, and now nursing a sore left lower back.

If ever I doubted that house prices in London were insane…
My old neck of the woods. You could definitely argue that for the current condition it is ludicrously priced, but restored correctly for the letting market would generate a significant and longstanding return. The area has all you need and definitely one of those locations where properties don't hang around. You are definitely paying a premium for an SW19 (think tennis) postcode even though this is at the complete other side of the post code district

Or you could save yourself £45k and move straight in to this 4 bed detached house, near a golf course that costs £972 per year

How my body feels after my covid booster yesterday afternoon. Had to get up at 4 am to put on a thick jumper. My legs feel like they have done a marathon. Hopefully a dose of paracetamol and a few hours on the golf course will blow it away.

Which one did you have?

One of our friends was out of circulation for a week after his booster. To be fair, he’s had a similar reaction to each jab.

Couldn't recall what kicked it all off so I just had to re-read The Hare And Tortoise... irritated the tortoise is portrayed as the good guy in this

The Cricket World Cup. Not the dismal England performance but the format. Seems to have been going on for an age and we have not even reached the next round yet.

Surly this could be trimmed by a few weeks with a group stage, quarters, semi and final. The rugby world cup was bad enough but that was mainly due to players only really being able to play one match a week but this seems endless.

I get what you mean, it seems to have been a month of games no one cares about then it will be bang bang and it’s all over in a flash.

An average boxer who has a physique that men aspire to and women desire. If he wasn’t pretty, he’d have disappeared long ago.
Objectively looking at it, his record is decent. Won 26 Lost 3. He’s only been knocked down by two fighters. And beaten all but one of the (albeit he lost to him twice) fighters he’s faced professionally. You could argue about the level of opposition, but he had something like 12 consecutive world championship fights. If he’s fighting, I will watch. But… his fake good guy image really pees me off.

They should have split the comp into two leagues rather than one enormous league. That cuts the qualifying rounds, speeds things up.

The comp is way too long, very dull.

It has become like background noise now, something that just keeps rumbling on, rather than being something to get excited about plus there is less excitement for later rounds when these teams have already played each other.

Pricing up a ski holiday for five of us, including my granddaughter.
During half term, £2223pp + ski hire + ski pass.
Five weeks later, £967pp + ski hire + ski pass in exactly the same hotel and possibly better weather!

How much is the fine for taking granddaughter out of school? Almost certainly alot less than the difference in holiday cost.
