Random Irritations

An email has come round from the club...
At least one golfer from each group MUST check in with the Pro Shop before commencing play.
Ok, that's fine.
We often start at 7 or thereabouts
First person in the Pro shop rocks up after 7.30....
So how are we supposed to "check in " then...:thup:

Get his mobile phone number and text him!
 
No need to, management was fully aware of the issue and exercised powers of delegation to resolve the matter. Blame is yet to be apportioned but I suspect management will emerge unscathed from the enquiry...


Ah, Teflon management no blame ever seems to stick to them...
Something I am experiencing more and more now I am retired...

Being pretty teed of with myself for not getting my rear end in gear and sorting out my pensions/finances before retirement...

And, with all the paperwork I've been reading/shuffling in the recent weeks looking more and more likely I'll have to concede and start wearing reading glasses at least... Pah!
 
Motor insurance and insurance companies.

At one stage last year I had more points than Everton did after 10 games :whistle: Some points have come off yet the insurance company still want to recognise them and charge me accordingly.....robbing fekirs

Well they have to pay my wages somehow ;)
 
On train Newcastle to Manchester airport. 2 carriages, chuggy train, aircon gutless. Northern Powerhouse my backside.

Train goes to a major airport but has no space for luggage, doh. Oh yes the signal is pants as well.

Parents/cashiers allowing kids to stand in the checkout tray where the purchases are put after they have been scanned - just before all the fridge stuff that I have bought goes in there.
 
Recycling...

The other week the binmen refused to take one of our bags as they identified it contained old plant pots and despite them having been powerwashed and had the recycling triangle on them our local authority doesn't accept them...

This week it was meat trays... Again they had been washed and had the triangle but not accepted...

So, either we are a treehugging country with a conscience or we are not...
Which is it?

And, yes we will be raising the question with our council...

They sound a heck of a lot more diligent than our bin men. I imagine we could chuck whatever we want in our bins and they'd just take it away - as long as they are left in the right place of course. If we don't shift them to the end of the drive then they won't walk the extra 10 yards to get them. :lol:
