Random Irritations

Mobile networks making a big pronouncement about sharing masts and tech so the coverage is equal for customers around the country. As someone who lives in a rural area and regularly loses a signal that is great news, I can't even get a signal in my own home despite living in a decent sized market town. All great except it is going to take a minimum of 5 years to happen :mad:

My thanks to the guy that, 2 weeks ago, shared a buggy with me for 4 hours during which time he coughed, spluttered and spat his way around 18 holes. The last couple of days has seen the onset of a sore throat and ear ache. Most of last night HID and I spent it sat up awake coughing, and coughing, and coughing.

I suppose I should take the positive from it. Its not often these days the wife and I spend the night awake...

The same guy must've been near me , woke up at 3am yesterday morning, my throat was so swollen i could hardly breath or swallow, slightly better after taking ibuprofen and constant gargling with salt water.

Isn't it amazing how a quote 'out of context' can have a completely different meaning to the one intended!

Yet 'News Media' and politicians/spin doctors do it, and get away with it, every day!

I'll add the people who show zero interest in a sport until a Brit is suddenly doing well

The Hamilton affect to F1

The 2003 affect to rugby

Cricket this summer

People who really don't care about the sport who suddenly biggest fans and wiki all their info
 
Just feeling ill. I think I saw every hour on the clock face during the night. That was the end of today's competition and probably tomorrow's roll-up as well.
So basically lads, no tongues when we kiss.

Comments from "friends" on FB..."Well played England. Makes me so proud to be British" and another "Our neighbours are Kiwis so off to sing Rule Britannia in the garden"...

Give me strength!
 
Why do people lie over pointless stuff? The guy who just bought my old driver off me mentioned that he was off 4, and told me the club he plays at. Had a look on Howdidido out of idle curiosity and on there it says he's off 9. Why lie? :unsure:

Decided to miss the golf today. Lie in, watched the rugby in bed with several cups of tea from HID. Then took HID out shopping as it was her birthday on Thursday and a bite of lunch, leisurely coffee and back the footie results. Lazy and enjoyable afternoon

I have zero interest in rugby , I don't enjoy watching and i hated playing it at school

I was made to watch today with the father in law so I will politely watch and not moan, I can fake interest but I can't stand when people are then super fans after it .. for about a week
