I don't get why they can only show a certain amount of coverage of the golf on sky
 
Weather forecasts getting it wrong. No rain forecast until lunchtime and got deluged on the 5th (teeing off at 8.30). Fortunately I take no chances at this time of year and had the waterproofs, umbrella and spare gloves but we were forced to take shelter in the rain hut at the back of the 6th. After that it was warm sunshine. A couple of our group only had a brolly and so got wet playing five and six but fair play they stuck it out

This guy ordered us to remove our baselayers before the game because they are black and this doesn't match our sleeves - I understand this is a rule at professional level, but in Sunday League? Jobsworth - common sense needed. During the game we had two head injuries that he didn't stop the game for despite that being the protocol. When I was running the line second half I flagged for offside and stayed in the position where I was flagging (which I believe is the procedure), he ignored me for a full minute, then said I was nowhere near the play.. yeah obviously because I stayed where the offside was you wally! And as you say, he's that awful old breed of ref where you cannot have any form of conversation with him. The only bit of good news is that I've heard he's leaving the area and won't be reffing our league anymore! Happy days. But I just don't understand what enjoyment he gets from it - barking orders, not engaging with players, never cracks a smile all day, and all for just 40 quid. Most refs will engage with you, have a bit of banter on occasion, and that's all you want.

What was the score?
 
Getting a phone call telling us that our 2 new 4 seater couches will be 3 weeks late. The day after we gave the old ones away to the British Heart foundation.
Now we're having to share my man cave, TV and my remote control for 3 weeks :mad::cry::cry:, there may be trouble ahead.:eek:

Well, I have a sofa to sit on, but the Mrs gave away alot of our furniture to the British Heart Foundation. They have picked it up, and we have boxes of stuff everywhere that used to be in it.

Sound plan, except we have not yet ordered replacement furniture.

Sky Tv.
Why can't I just pay for the channels I want to watch.
If I want to watch golf and F1, I also have to pay for 146 Premier league games which I will never watch.
Maybe one day

I thought you could, its just expensive - £18pm for golf and £10pm for F1 (against £23pm for everything)

Didn't Sky introduce some kind of system a few years ago whereby you could subscribe to only the specific sports channels you wanted?
Like you, I'd be interested in golf and F1 (and maybe cricket).
Perhaps they've ditched that idea - wouldn't surprise me as they were asking silly money for each individual channel, so takeup was bound to be poor.
Edit: ADB beat me to it.

You can - you don’t have to get every sky sport package and can purchase for example F1 for new customer is £35 a month ( existing is £18 month ) , you can then buy the Sky Golf HD for the same sort of price.

But it’s always going to be expensive to purchase singles etc hence why the pack is more financially viable for both the consumer and Sky - they are never going to make it cheaper to pick and chose
 
Having to book a bay at the local range, turning up at the allotted time for it to be rammed and told to wait. Second time this has happened and so another stinking email gone to the parent company and the council (former owners). Pretty sure little will be done (never got a response the first time) but it can't be compliant with Covid rules to have people loitering in the walkways waiting for a free bay. Of course if the powers that be get a whiff then chances are the range will close so a double whammy
 
HID losing his glasses that he needs for nighttime driving yesterday and today I've found an effing screw/nail in my back tyre. Hopefully that can be repaired.
 
I've been told by my Line Manager at work that my current assignment finishes on Friday (so tomorrow as I am on leave on Friday) - but not had anyone from the management of the account I'm assigned to confirm that or speak to me about me finishing. I've been on the account since August 2019 - so thought maybe a word or two - or indeed a request for a handover...

Anyway. Let's see tomorrow....when my assignment manager suddenly realises. I'm not chasing...I'm not that bothered in truth. I move on. I think next up is Cloud-based Contact Centre as a Service. Well I know zilch about that - but hey :)

Oh yes - I know pretty well a senior tech architect on the business unit I'm getting assigned to. Pinged him today to catch up and touch base with him on what I'm to be doing - turns out he was offered VR middle of September to be accepted or not but end of that month. He took it. One year full pay. I'd have that - but I'm not getting offered - think I'm not costly enough to make it worthwhile :( Irritating...
 
One of my wife's nieces has come round a day late to deliver her birthday present. She won't come in because of Covid; the wife won't go outside because she hasn't got a coat on. So they are standing there gassing with the door wide open as the front room starts to resemble a freezer.

If you aren't coming in, post the present and pick up the phone. :mad:
