Random Irritations

Virgin Atlantic. Booked NYC for a week back in January (pre pandemic). Hotel have cancelled the booking as we are not US citizens. But Virgin....

FCO and US State Dept rules are fixed, no travel for non-US citizens. Virgin refuse to refund the ticket, only offering an open ticket (which I won't be able to use dur to other commitments) despite the unprecedented nature of the circumstances. Yet they use the same unprecedented circumstances to justify axing 8000 jobs!

They will fly an empty flight just to prevent having to give refunds. £1500 down the swanny.

Covid-19 "all in it together", yeah right. I can only hope that Virgin Atlantic go tits-up as a result of the pandemic.

Rant over.

New PGA 2k21 game is crap. :( I've played the offline career, and two online societies and it felt like three totally different games.

Change your offline setting to the same as online! I have to be honest, Im let down by 2k. A good visuals improvement on Rory Mac but I still birdie every other hole at worst. Thought it might be harder than it is and a bit more challenging.

Even the two different online societies were different to each other, it was weird. In one of them it didn't tell me if I was fast or slow on the swing, but I was able to adjust my aiming circle. The other one the aiming circle was fixed by the club, but it did have fast and slow. It's just confusing, surely they should be consistent or you can't really learn how to play.

That is a bit weird! Must be able to custom each individual societies rules - not encoutered this yet, mine must use standard online rules!

Yeah the second one was more like the old TGC19 settings, but just as I had been getting used to how the new game plays, it threw me off. :confused:
 
Playing golf with my Monday playing partner who has had a golf lesson (£55 for one hour) and is not even bothering to try and do what the Pro has told him to do, so I have to nag him to get him to do these things (all two of them). It's really hissing me off. Round after round to keep on at him. No I could not ignore it, because he then moans about not getting any better. So I'm being a bluddy coach and Mr Positivity just to help him. I'm sick to death of it.

(Thank for listening).

Think you've already done your bit. It's been several rounds and clearly he has no real intent to work on the changes given to him in the lesson. Not your problem he's wasted £55. Let him crack on, get worse or stand still in terms of progress and if he moans tell him there's only one person and one reason why he's not getting better and effectively put up in terms of working on the changes to getting better or shut up about it
 
Monitor keeps flicking off and on, thinking the VGA-HDMI adaptor we bought on Amazon must be trash, I start to look for a better version. They cost over £30, I'm trying to decide whether it's worth the money and if that'll actually fix it, and lo and behold, the monitor hasn't cut out all day since then. Not helping me decide. :unsure::unsure:

It's a Dell monitor from work that I've carried from office to office for probably 5 years and is now in my 'home office' - god knows how long it was in the company before that.

Could always treat yourself to a nice new monitor .. comes with a better cable
 
Orikoru said:
I don't know how I feel about shelling out for a whole new monitor just because my current set-up occasionally cuts out which is mildly annoying. :LOL: I did consider it for a minute though..

Wouldn't be that expensive and then you have a decent monitor for home ...

Then again I do love buying random stuff for no reason just because lol it's a hobby

Play with someone else or just tell him to shut the hell up.

Slow play moans about the H4H day at Bearwood. On this one occasion, just suck it up, stop being selfish and think about what the day took to organise and who we were doing it for.

I find charity golf days are generally a slow affair. Especially when its not a shotgun start, which at the moment aren't practical.
 
There’s a constant laurel and hardy theme tune hum coming from the TV.

Grating my ears. I need to turn off absolutely everything.

Anyone know how to make an electromagnetic pulse?
