Having 2 teeth out. The roots for the 2nd one were somewhere near my toes. Stitches in, sore as... not exactly the enjoyment I had planned for this morning - had to cancel my golf. At least at €80 I don't feel like I've been mugged too!

Bites. Got a big lump near my wrist and a big red rash under it that itches like the devil.

That's what I had on mine - which had been beautiful and shiny. Sort of brown in colour and hard to remove? I wondered if it was some sort of tree sap?

And GDPR again. I run a team in the Surrey 5's for the club. Surrey publish the draw sheets on the website and a contact list for the organisers. As a result of a GDPR policy review, the contact sheet has now been withdrawn. We now have to call or e-mail the office to get the contact details. I have to wonder why as we all knew what we were signing up to when we opted to run teams.

Did you try the new grip?

No - daren't! Was going along ok without hitting it great and then a simple gap wedge to the 5th went straight right and OOB - yikes! So from then on fearing another rocket although did think I figured it out as recently injured my right hip (dog agility!) and stopped turning around it - that thought had me hitting it well but confidence low. Range yesterday and all with new grip but also figured (I think) that I'd started opening face on backswing...just a feeling of right hand staying on top longer/connection/triangle and nailed everything. Will see how it goes on the course later with new grip!
People walking along that stop dead when you are a few paces behind. What are you playing at?

Not sure about "irritations". I got loads of splinters in my fingers yesterday after waxing a dipped door ready to re-hang and now they hurt like mad after digging them out. One finger even hurts where there wasn't a splinter!!! How's that work?
Only four more to do.

My car was serviced yesterday. It is a lease car, it was serviced with the dealer I got the car through. The dealer is only 10 miles from home but it is the opposite direction from where I work, meaning I go 10 mile the wrong way, 24 miles the right way and then reverse when I go to collect it.
I got a phone call this morning asking me to go back in because the gear box oil needs to be changed. Why not at the main service I asked. 'We didn't think it was needed but the lease company asked for it to be done'. Never thought of asking before I came down?

Is it a VW group with DSG box?My car was serviced yesterday. It is a lease car, it was serviced with the dealer I got the car through.

The wet clutch ones need an oil change every 40k, which has to be done in a very specific way. It isn't a quick or while you wait job.
One of our Transporters had a gearbox failure at 90k miles. but because the service history was intact and more improtantly the gearbox oil history intact VW Germany paid for the box.
As lovely as the DSG box is, they do require a lot more "service" than a normal one.
Funnily enough, exactly this. It is a Skoda Superb with the DSG box. My irritation is that the service mileage is at 38k, the dealer knew this and it is a Skoda dealer. They should have joined the dots, contacted the lease company prior to the service not after and asked / suggested about the gearbox oil change then.
The servicing is in with my lease so the irritation is the time wasted going back to the dealers again when this should have done in one visit. It's a 1st world problem, I am aware of this.

We've never been able to get a service and gearbox oil change done at the same time (day).
They cant do a gearbox oil change if the oil is above a very specific temperature, which has always meant ours have to go to them the night beofre and stay with them overnight so its cold when they start on it first thing. It then takes just about a whole day to do it as the parameters for refilling the oil are very exact. I couldn't belive the pfaff when I first had my van done, but since then it's just one of those things sent to annoy us.
