I don't know what you mean... but the message is "This site is blocked due to content filtering." and has our company logo above it. Same message I've seen before when they blocked some gaming and also gambling websites.
Hopefully they never block this forum or I'll have to make space to have two laptops open on my desk.

You can open "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts" in notepad and see if they have simply blocked it via thereI don't know what you mean... but the message is "This site is blocked due to content filtering." and has our company logo above it.

Surely not!?! Didn’t think we had any slow players on the forum?
Maybe there will be a thread of shame for those who were slowing everyone up. Then if they ever moan about slow play in the future they can be exposed

No different with the covid-19 threads, it’s always the other idiots, every forum member is, and has, behaved impeccably.Maybe there will be a thread of shame for those who were slowing everyone up. Then if they ever moan about slow play in the future they can be exposed

I'm sure there's a correlation between slow players and those who wait for the fairway/green to clear at "forum distance"

Bit frustrated as our party of five couples have cancelled a holiday in Valencia - one couple not able to fly from states others having one of other unable to risk travel or quarantine on return. We are not so constrained but no point in going if others aren’t. Others have all had their flights cancelled and refund of some sort offered. But BA have not yet cancelled ours when other couples are also flying BA but different flight out. I guess our flight must still be worth flying and the aircraft has somewhere to go after Valencia. Ach well. Just a bit irritating as though the money is spent - £360 is £360.

Aaargh you've just set me off on a random irritation. ?
Behind a slowish 4 ball, waiting behind them on the tee on a par 5. They've all hit their drives maybe 200 yards max but then wait for the green to clear 300 yards away ???

Spending a day dealing with my work lap-top not connecting to wireless. Multiple re-boots and swear words involved. So I spend yesterday sitting on the floor using an old ethernet cable connected to the hub.
I order a wireless extender with an ethernet port. Ready to collect today.
Turn on the lap-top this morning - connects perfectly to wireless. GRRRRRRR.

Alway look on the bright side - at least your handicap is 'younger' than you

Uncle Ben's are changing their name 'to avoid racist stereotyping'. I try and make sure I'm on the right side of racial issues, but with things like this appearing, I just can't keep up. How can the name Uncle Ben's be racist? Who was complaining that it was?
