Toulouse pitch. Toulouse v Leinster deserves to be played on a decent bit of turf.
Imurg
The Grinder Of Pars (Semi Crocked)
The ball collector bloke at my local range..
Yes, Imurg goes to Range shocker!!
Range opens at 8, work started at 10 so I thought I'd try and get my 3 wood working again.
Got my balls and set up in a bay. Only one on the range
Bloke on the machine is going round picking up balls
I start hitting a few irons to warm up, moving up to the 3 wood.
Bloke on machine then gets out of said vehicle and starts picking balls out of a chipping net by hand
Problem is he's 100 yards in front of me, 20 yards to the right - well within the danger zone when I'm driving.
So I stop for a couple of minutes until he gets back in a drives off.
I hit a couple of balls and then realise he's out again and picking more balls out of another bunker, this time 20 yards left.
Another 5 minutes - there's obviously more balls in this one!
Then he goes straight to the far bunker which is 160 yards out and dead in front of me.
Another 5 minutes.......
I'm getting bored by now......he then parks the machine near my bay to go into the office...I end up chipping balls through the cab window.
He probably had half a dozen in there when he came back.
I'd gone home by then.
I thought I'd let him apologise for holding me up
Not a word from him.......

I’m not the grammar police as I ignore it usually but this one always irritates me.
Bought, to buy something.
Brought, to bring something with you.

I make plenty of typos, but one that gets my goat is ECT instead of ETC.

On the subject of grammar police I don't tend to worry about what others write but my phone does love to autocorrect my words and most of the time it puts the wrong word in place of what I actually want to write.....

Damn these people who can't accept things when they don't go their way!

Yes that’s exactly what it is. People not accepting the repercussions of an idiotic vote.
It’s hapenned. Time to move on. Imo if it’s not followed through with then the protests of yesterday will be nothing compared to what would happen.

No, it's people not prepared to accept the result of a democratic vote.

This is how democracy works. You’re confusing yourself.
Whilst I get everyone has the right to object to things and go on strike/protest. The fact is, those doing so are doing so before they’ve even experienced the apparent effects.
Rallies against sexism, homophobia, racism and the like have been done after these things have happened and people have (rightly) decided that change needs to happen.
The people in London, lost a vote. By all means go on protest if all the fears come to pass, but atm it’s nothing more than stopping as they didn’t get their way.
You can’t play the democracy card when you’re not giving democracy a chance in the first place.

I reckon I would have just cracked on and shouted fore if he was in danger. Surely he'd more sensible to do all that when it's not open to customers? Or he knows the risks.

I'd be there, as a point of principle, to play as soon as the first tee became clear. And God help any woman who challenged me. For Gods sake grow a pair and stand up to them!

I hope you'll appologise when everything turns out ok.
