Random Irritations

Good luck with that, I did two transfers to a builder last week of 12 and 17k and even though I used the NatWest card reader thingy AND replied to texts they send me they froze my account twice!☹️
Both times pretty easily sorted after a 10 minute wait on the phone to the fraud dept to explain I wasn’t being coerced by a rogue trader!

My bank aren’t too worried I sent it to my wife in 4 amounts no issues and then did the deposit to the builder so they got the account paid before 👌
 
Feel like I've missed something here - what's the red polo neck shirt reference?
Nearly a year ago I was invited to play in a club match, and made that thread^ about it. Some people said I might get given a club polo for free, others said I would have to buy one for up to £50. I said I didn't really want to have to spend 50 quid buying one. Some people found this funny for some reason and still bring it up at every opportunity a year later.

It wasn't even an issue in the end, club sec said it wasn't compulsory to wear the club polo for the match.
 
Seeing someone you know you know but not putting a name or context to the face. Bugging me
I am quite a bit older than you Homer I think and have found this to be a way of life in my dotage.
If it is any help, I can converse with people I know but can't remember their
name for ages and I think , when we part they don't know I still can't get their name.
On some occasions,particularly ex fire service colleagues who use my nickname I just come clean and ask them, making a joke of it.

Sad thing was this lady looked at me in the corridor and I immediately thought "I know the face" and she clearly seemed to know me. As she is on ICU watching a loved one pass away I didn't feel it appropriate to say anything. I know she is married so doesn't share the surname of the patient and it is just bugging me.

That said, I've been introduced to the opposition in club matches over brunch and an hour later when heading to the first tee had to ask my PP what they were called. I tend to take a scorecard out now and write the names down and sometimes even things like "glasses" or "blue hat" so I can remember which is which. My memory for names is truly shocking

I do exactly the same, you are not alone.

I played in a drawn comp, probably Captain's Day, a couple of years ago. I didn't know any of the other members of the group but I can't tell you how happy I was when it transpired they were all called Dave :D. If only it was always that easy.

Played a comp at West Lancs a few years ago, 36 holes with the same person, no idea what his name was after a couple of holes and it seemed rude to ask again (and the card was just his first initial and surname) so spent over 8 hours calling him "mate".
I would've been in my mid-late20s at the time
