Random Irritations

Was going to suggest it safe to maybe talk about old episodes of Trumpton, but then I realised the very inference in the title and was there not a Mayor of the god forsaken place?


this classic seems quite appropriate

Someone get a message through to Captain Snort
That they’d better start assembling the boys from the fort
And keep Mrs Honeyman right out of sight
‘Cos there’s gonna be a riot down in Trumpton tonight
 
Randomly irritated that we, apparently, cannot comment on the disgraceful events last night in Washington yet the online version of GM can run a piece on the President that would fail the mods' test.

Not only that but GM are soliciting responses and debate.

Add to that irritation the stupidity of the question in the article for me; would the events of last night reduce your desire to play a famous Trump branded course? If they don't know your starting position, how can they glean anything useful.

The disgraceful events of last night have not reduced my desire to play a Trump branded course, because I wouldn't knowingly give the orange buffoon a cent of my money on principle. Same as we refused to holiday in the USA whilst he was President.

Thought the full lyrics needed airing. Brilliant work

No! Oh oh oh!
Elevate!
Unemployment’s rising in the Chigley end of town
And it’s spreading like pneumonia
Doesn’t look like going down
There’s trouble at the fire station someone’s had the sack
And the lads are going to launch a scheme get rid of Captain Flack
Tell PC McGarry to get himself a mate
And arm themselves with CS gas
They’re gonna be out late
We’ve had Cant conformism since 1966
And now subversion’s in the air in the shape of flying bricks
Someone get a message through to Captain Snort
That they’d better start assembling the boys from the fort
And keep Mrs Honeyman right out of sight
‘Cos there’s gonna be a riot down in Trumpton tonight
All this aristocracy has really got to stop
We can overthrow the surgery and kidnap Dr Mopp
And Chippy Minton’s Socialists could storm the Market Square
And make plans to assassinate our autocratic Mayor
Windy Militant leads his Basque-like corn grinders to war
With windmill sails and bombs with nails they smash the town hall door
But Snorty and his boys arrive with one big erstwhile crew
Whereupon they bring about a military coup
Someone get a message through to Captain Snort
That they’d better start assembling the boys from the fort
And keep Mrs Honeyman right out of sight
‘Cos there’s gonna be a riot down in Trumpton tonight
Oh, someone get a message through to Captain Snort
That they’d better start assembling the boys from the fort
And keep Mrs Honeyman right out of sight

There is also this one as well


Thankfully I don’t expect he will ever get The Open at Turnberry- that bridge has been burned

It’s fairly split in regards the will you play on his course- it wouldn’t surprise me if he sold a number of the ones in the UK

 
Fury of golfers as they are banned from the links under lockdown rules... but anglers get green light to carry on fishing

Story in the press today. The government has decreed that fishing is exercise so therefore is allowed during lockdown. Not sure how that works ???
 
The first rumblings of football clubs stating that their players and staff should be vaccinated now to save all the money wasted on testing (which they are playing politics with by stating it could be donated to the NHS). If you are saying that you cannot proceed to play matches safely without being vaccinated, shut down football until it is safe to do so.

TBH just shut down football ?

It was only a couple of weeks ago that the pundits and clubs were complaining that crowds were not allowed back in stadiums as they had clearly shown how Covid safe the stadiums are! The same pundits are now suggesting a circuit break should be implemented owing to the number of positive cases at clubs.
