Random Irritations

Go-kart trolley dying on the 15th and having to push it for the final few holes. Fortunately it can be free-wheeled but still a heavy unit to push. Checked it over and can't see anything obvious so put a call in to send it back.
 
The over-use of the phrase "making History"
Tiger Roll didn't "make history" yesterday - that was done by Red Rum a while ago
I heard it a few weeks back in a report - can't remember exactly but it was along the lines of "X has made history by doing something for the first time in 20 years...."
No - you can only "make history" once.
 
The roads near me being full of idiots "jogging" in the Manchester Marathon.:rolleyes:
Cannot get out anywhere in the car.:mad:
Stupidity beyond belief to inconvenience thousands of people, just so these idiots can run on the main roads.:(
Get them all jogging round a big park away from the roads if they have to run somewhere.(y)

Maybe the money they are raising for good causes might help you one day

I think you're wrong to be honest. History doesn't only record one of every event does it? In 30 years if people are asking 'which horses have won the National twice in a row?' the answer will be Red Rum and Tiger Roll, so it has made history. :unsure:

So did Spurs "make History" when they won the double or did they join Preston NE as double winners?
To make history you have to be the first to do it.
You made history when you got your first par
You didn't make history when you got your second.

Of course we made history, it was 60 years ago and you just mentioned it! If it didn't make history then nobody would know it happened. That's what making history means, simply that it will be remembered in the future. Making a bunch of pars isn't going to be remembered. Being one of only two horses to win back-to-back Nationals will be remembered. That's all it means.
