Random Irritations

[Orikoru]

This afternoon's random irritation is that I'm actually contemplating wearing shorts to golf tomorrow.......
Mind you, at least I won't have to look for Fragger's ball in the brambles.....

Eh? I haven't worn trousers on the course since March.

I am a firm believer that there are but a handful of men who can get away with wearing shorts in public..
I would suggest that we aren't in that number

Having a brain fart and forgetting to take an unplayable drop:sbox:

Are you admitting to being fat or freakishly skinny?

I’ve been going out on evenings in shorts for about two months now. Anything else would be so uncomfortable.

I've been wearing shorts all the time since April-ish, for work especially. With legs like mine its a crime to hide them:whoo:

Coasters sticking to wine glasses when you lift it up to have a gulp.

No thats when the condesnation falls of your glass after youve removed said coaster and that big drip lands on your trousers , that exact point that looks like you have no control.....

Agreed, I much prefer shorts to play golf in. The only time I wear trousers is when it's below 12° or so. My lower legs don't really feel the cold unless it's really​ cold, so I prefer the freedom of movement in shorts.

I am now of an age where having damp patches is consistent with being in that age group...
So no longer feel the need to get embarrassed about it...

Same with dress sense...
I can now wear shorts and Hawaiian shirts without folk feeling the need to comment...

Insurance companies who will do a better price for new business than for existing customers. Loyalty obviously carries no weight with business these days.

Unfortunately that seems to be the preferred business model for service providers these days...

Just to be devils wotsit

Is (or should) loyalty be a two way street?

How many customers of these national service providers are staying with that provider out of loyalty and how many haven't or cant be bothered, to find an alternative and then claim 'loyalty' when its nothing more than a by-product

Just cos I'm typing, how many customers didn't also get some kind of new business/introductory offer when they themselves joined or switched, but now complain because their special price has ended and they see someone else is getting a deal of some sort


Although I agree that its an irritation to have to keep changing suppliers to keep getting deals

Being a bit old school I have tended to stay with the same provider [for probably too long in some cases]... Now retired, with a fixed income, I suspect I'll be having to start to be a bit more savvy with regard for looking for deals at renewal times... Really hate the pantomime you have to perform with the likes of Sky though...

For yourself or the kids?

When their feet get to a certain size the boots become VATable and that really rises the pain...

Outlet at Dalton Park mate, Adidas have a sale on.

For me, Puma Kings are a bargain on Amazon but the price of some of the others are eye watering.
Whatever happened to good old Patrick Daglish

Badgers returning to the course and starting to rip the course up again 😢

The price of football boots oo:

I always order mine from Pro Direct Soccer mate. They have the best bargains. Some great boots reduced by like 60% or more sometimes. I always get the ones reduced from £100+ to 40 odd quid.

Playing well this morning and then missing two birdie putts inside five feet on the last two holes. Just as well there isn't a cat here in the office....
