Random Irritations

the state people turn up to functions, its in the title, Black Tie/ evening dress, not jeans and shirt or highland dress which is daywear, scruffy buggers.

all blokes too at least all the women made the effort;)

My ex strikes again.. Had a lovely weekend planned for me and the kids this weekend, I finished work in Manchester early so drove all the way to Swanley to get them to bring back home to Lincoln even got a golf lesson set up for my boy he asked for . Only to get half way there and be called by her telling me they're away for the weekend, so I turn round go home then an hour later I've got my 6 year old ringing me in floods of tears asking why I'm not there, I have to admit I've just had to pull over and let myself have a moment because that's absolutely done me. :(

That sounds brutal, and it makes me realise how lucky I was that when my parents got divorced, they never put us in the middle. Does she actually take them away, or just tell you that so you don’t show, and then she tells the kids you haven’t bothered? Might be worth confirming all weekend agreements via text/email, and then when she changes them, confirming the changes in a message, so you have a record of what is going on?

I hope the children see through it eventually, and you don’t have to go through it much more.

All agreements are confirmed in text she still every so often does this though to supposedly show her power in that she is the parent they live with full time so she will decide change then last minute to flex her muscles and make me try and jump through hoops, it's why I got solicitors involved but we've been told they can do nothing until its been through family mediation but she has failed to show on occasions costing me money stating she won't agree to anything only what she wants. So back in the same circle we go,.
 
Qualifications to represent nations in international sport!
Jimmy Tuivaiti, Jayden Hayward and Ian McKinley, two New Zealanders and an Irishman, all playing for Italy .............................. obviously!
Ridiculous.
 
Course being closed since Wednesday due to "snow" - seemingly the only place in the County that has it. Due to the alleged forecast of a thaw tomorrow (ummm Met Office says -3) it will re-open for the scheduled Men's Competition. Once again a particular section of the membership gets priority and yet we all pay the same :mad:

We've been closed since Tuesday, starting to get cabin fever :cry:. I know what you mean about the course being open for certain groups. Ours can seemingly be unplayable all week then miraculously playable on a Saturday. Not this week though , it's still closed .:eek:

Ditto the cabin fever. It was always going to open tomorrow if at all possible and that was pretty much made clear on the website yesterday. "The Competition Committee" would like the Men's Competition to go ahead. Neither the Ladies nor Seniors nor Juniors get similar effort made.
 
Granddaughter, who is not yet 7, being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes on Thursday. Hope to have her out of hospital on Monday.

Can't you play during Mens Competions ?
We have a few full lady members who play in slots in the middle of the mens competion on Saturdays.
Incidentally Lady Full members are the only group who have the right to play every day, Male Full members cannot play on Ladies Comp Day ( Tuesday) until 12 30 , shock horror!
I don't know what it is but it is not EQUALITY ,hence my shouting.
