Random Irritations

[Lord Tyrion]

Bake off? What is Bake Off?

Seriously, a programme with amateurs failing in the kitchen. Bit like amateurs dancing... why the big attraction to watching non-experts? I really dislike reality TV programmes. I just don't understand why people will watch non-experts failing. Next we'll be having an Olympics stuffed full of spectators running, being watched by world class athletes. Bizarre!

Bake Off is warm and cosy tv, nothing nasty about it, no hype, no edge. Normal people, no wannabee reality stars with fake faces and fake teeth all angling for future work, doing something we can all relate to. They aren't experts, that is the joy of it. They are very good but fallible. If you want experts then watch Masterchef. I want to see slabs of pies and cakes that might be a bit wonky so I'll stick with Bake Off. #ManonorRahul

I don't watch it but I'd much prefer Bake Off to the likes of Made in Chelsea and Essex and whatnot. At least there's a competition element rather than fake vapid nonsense.

That'll cost you!

Anyway bake off, yup harmless easy to watch tv. Unfortunately I'm stuck a full year behind the season you're on! (2017 final next week) But on the plus side I also get to watch the Great South African Bake off and the Great Australian Bake off (the only difference really is the accents)

Total stupidity on my part with an even more 'irritating' outcome of a shattered tibia...
All plans for this year out the window...
All plans for next year will be set around physio, physio and yet more physio...
If I can be swinging a club by mid summer I think I'll have done well...
Moral of the story being...
If a tree needs lopping don't be a tightwad...
Get a professional in!

Yep, get a pro in. I’ve been lopping some trees that are in next door’s garden but the branches were well and truly in ours. It’s a bank repo but has been left empty for 4 years.

Lop branch whilst trying to support it as it comes off - cue badly sprained wrist.

I'm having a very tough time holding everything together at the moment what with one thing and another. Nice golf days with understanding mates are helping A LOT.

Hope you find the middle of the fairways

If you think we can help, just pour your heart out.
I'll help anyway I can.

Even if I was interested in buying new clubs, I would purposely avoid Taylor Made because of these poxy adverts that have been plaguing this site.
