Had some very sad news yesterday, I cannot go into details but due to this I am "irritated" (to say the least) by
The Police (by all accounts not really their fault / hands tied and all that), Social Services (utterly useless and incompetent), The British "Snowflake" public who have brought this situation about.
Sorry to be so cryptic. But it's only going to get worse in my opinion unless there is a huge reversal of how we deal with these things, by which I mean go back 50+ years.

The 3 under/3 over "nett" brigade.
Was talking to a lad I used to play with the other day and he was telling me how good his golf has been recently . He's off 15 then proceeded to tell me he went round 3 over and i said jesus christ that's some round for you he replied " no I was disappointed" I was stunned until he told me he was talking "nett". Shook my head and walked away.

Hehe! this is the equivalent to what has happened on Strava. (social media, stats recording etc for running and cycling) Recently they added a measurement of elapsed time. This has caught lots of people out bragging! Basically, they have run a bit quickly, stopped the watch, had a breather, then started the watch again and continued! (add this up 3,4,5 times a run)
Then people have been boasting about a new PB or milestone! But you look at the elapsed time, and their 48 minutes 10k run, actually was 48 minutes of running, in a 90minute window!!
There is an account on twitter especially for outing people like this, @stravawankers its a very funny read sometimes!!

So for any golfers moaning about the fact that they cant play play exactly the format they want just be grateful youre not a club cricketer who probably wont get a game until April now!

To be honest when it comes to ethicity, politics and religion things are never ever going to go well in conversation because people are all very different. Part and parcel of being a human.
If those particular threads aren’t to your taste then just ignore them and stick to what you like.

I dont think he was trying to lie to me, maybe he thinks hes better than he really is and has been caught up in the moment.
I think this "nett" handicap chat is a recent thing in and around golf clubs. I'd never heard of it til recently.

That's weird, can't they just clean and disinfect the ball every over? Or get the bowler to wear disposable gloves to bowl maybe?Turns out a cricket ball is a natural vector of disease, who knew after all these years

How often would they need to change gloves? Could they grip the ball still? How about the fielders? Would they stop every few overs to wash hands?
Disinfecting the ball would probably trash it, delay the game too much.
It really is not practical.

I don't know anything about cricket. I thought cricketers would put up with anything that makes it possible to play. To answer the fielders question I guess every time they catch or throw the ball. I dunno.
