Random Irritations

That may well be true. I can only comment on sports I’ve witnessed. Football for example shows that the footballers of today are far more devoted to fitness now than they were in the past. That’s not because of tech.

On a talent level I’m not denying that the players you’ve mentioned, and many others may have had as much natural talent. But we can only compare how good they actually were, not how good we think they may have been.....

Sports science has moved on hugely in the last couple of decades and with the comparably high rewards now on offer... No surprise players, in the current era, use these techniques... Couldn't see, James Hunt for example, having a post race ice bath rather than a fag, beer or a shag...
 
Sousa's ridiculous sound track which often starts once the ball is crossing to Dan Evans's side of the net!
It should be stopped. It irritates the bits off me and, in my opinion, is tantamount to cheating.
 
A dodgy Cilla Black. Tweaked it Thursday and foolishly went to the club to hit balls last night. No idea (feels like a pulled/tight muscle or sciatica) but at one point struggled to bend over and then stand straight again. Suffice pulled out of the medal today and not playing tomorrow. Society day on Friday looks touch and go and trying to just make sure all good for Sunningdale week

You are lucky to have some decent roads to bang it down. I get 25 out of my CLS63AMGS as it rarely gets going properly. North London, not the ideal arena for a beast.

Loads of great roads round here. We have a stretch that's about 5 miles total, 3 of it reasonably straight with great forward visibility the other 2 you are coming downhill so while twisty you still have clear forward vision from the elevation.
Got the 335 up to a good canter on that a few times.

Currently looking at the new CLS53 for my next jallopy.

I hear you. Lost the love for a while although have been playing ok, just more erratic than I'd like. Had a shocker for 14 holes Thursday and only played well when I stepped up and smacked it without a thought. Mind made up to have a break and see how I felt but had committed to playing with my brother today. Always nice to play with him so plodded around with a 9i and one ball, hitting shots when I fancied and quite enjoyed it. I've pulled out of all commitments for a few weeks and will carry a few clubs when/if I do play with no plans/expectations. Already looking forward to more time to cycle, swim and maybe try some tennis.

Good job you work in a hospital. :whistle:
 
The fact that all doubles tennis players suffer from halitosis.

Oh, and the constant bloody touching ............................ WHY?
 
The rail network - Underground and Overground - getting people out if London on a Saturday night - absolute 💩💩💩
 
Absolutely rammed London Northwestern train out of Euston. Left late and air con broken.

Sweat box
 
I've been very fortunate to have travelled to a number of the world's greatest cities, but IMHO London is the best of them all - it's brilliant; it has everything for everyone.

But its public transport system is easily the worst out of everywhere I've been. It's an absolute disgrace.
