Random Irritations

A few years back (2017?), so I'm told by a playing friend of a taxi driver, he stayed at the Celtic Manor whilst competing in the Porthcawl Seniors Open and travelled by taxi each day, same driver.
On returning to the hotel he gave his driver €500 and told him he could keep the clubs.

All I want is

It can't be that hard

The two of us sit down and my wife orders a bottle of lager and a bottle of cider, bar staff deliver to table & pops them down in front of each of us...then we swap drinks so I can get my cider 😒
 
Just heard an ad on uk local radio station warning of the dangers of smoking at home (as its apparently No1 cause of house fires at this time of year) No mention of what’s No2 & 3

I mean what’s the bleedin point of going to the bother of making the radio ad on fire prevention and not telling us about these other significant risks!
