Random Irritations

[Mandofred]

Haha. No worries. I'm sort of similar, but the opposite. Lived there 1985-1992. WW were seriously on the up. Martin O'Neil took over and made them awesome, grrrrr, whilst MTFC got worse and worse. But still we beat them on their last non league game. Screamed myself hoarse at that match and then had to walk back to the pub through the town dressed in full MTFC shirt and scarfs running the verbal gauntlet WW fans.
Happy days !!!!

Sorry, I'm such a lousy follower of football that I had to look up MTFC (sincere apologies ) to see who they even were.

Just for curiosity....I've never been to a football game....but running by the old stadium in Wycombe I always thought it was a great location.....was the inside as cozy? I'm an old gym rat (basketball/volleyball coach etc) and love a nice atmospheric old gym.

Now...as you may understand....many of the guys I play with are Leeds supporters. And....they are doing great. Boy.....I'm tired of hearing about Leeds doing great, but it beats hearing about Leeds doing badly. A couple of York supporters as well.....be they seem to be ignored....just because.

Gareth Ainsworth (Wycombe manager) is a parent with kids at the school where HID works. Apparently is an absolute gent to everyone he meets (and a few of the women allegedly think he's fit) and he does a lot to help the school in terms of tickets and the odd trip around the ground (pre-Covid of course). I think he's a decent manager and hope he gets the time he deserves at Wycombe to get them winning again. I'm sure in a perverse way he'll be learning a lot with the run of results (I saw the match midweek on TV and they played well in large patches). As a result Wycombe have become HID's team to follow.

She has become a woman of taste ??

Struggling to see how the above football discussion / anecdote posts are “random irritations”. Isn‘t there a football thread on here somewhere....

Guess I started that one when I whined about Wycombe doing poorly......turned into a reminiscence of my younger days.....I stand corrected and will adjust my behaviour.

No probs going to golf but she hates football and golf on the telly. So with the Masters and the Euro football coming up.
I may have to bring in the garden sunlounger

We once spent a month on sunloungers while out suite was being recovered under warranty. It's not too bad.

Jack Nicklaus has made me sad

Just seen this and his comments and now I can never view him in quite the same way.

Still think of him as the greatest golfer of my lifetime but I also had great regard for him off the course .

Just a little less now.

 

[Papas1982]

I wonder if all those who refuse to play Turnberry etc, now have a few more courses on their list....

I’m not really surprised by his comments. I’d imagine they’ve spent loads of time together sorting courses etc.

All we need now is to find out who Tiger votes for so we can hopefully decide who's the GOAT once and for all.

Voting can and should be a private matter - no need to tell - but can if you wish
Public Endorsement using pre-scripted comments is another matter

While most US pros will be R-leaning (including TW) I doubt Tiger will step in to this one - he is a lot smarter than Mr Nicklaus for a start (and does not need any handouts)
Plus by most metrics TWs place at no1 is secure

All my boyhood golfing heroes have lost their shine, Nicklaus a while back, Player just gets madder, even SuperMex a bit, though he seems the best of them
Ah well - at least Willie Pettigrew never let me down - a phenomenal shooting star then quietly off into obscurity

If you hold a view on such matters you should stand by it and announce it.

Interesting as it is diametrically opposite to mine.

I cannot see by what metrics Tiger is clearly No:1 and neither can I see why Nicklaus would be. Only a cigarette paper between them either way.

However, to suggest Tiger is somehow smarter in his off course persona is to forget his well publicised extra curricular activities and the fall out from them.

In addition he was never shy of being seen to be golfing and associating with Trump.

Agreed to do sickness cover for another project, but the director is asking me to travel into London to meet him when we could just as easily do it on Teams. Sod off!

The entire Kardashian clan - honestly, what is the point of them?

RE @Kellfire
Not sure what you mean - that everyone should be open about their vote in an election - hardly think thats how democracy should work?

I reckon I know how TW will vote but doubt he will try to be an influencer this time around

As for the rest - well thats just an opinion but agree it seems close to some

The traffic in Inverness at the moment ??

If people have good reasons for their votes, yes. I always tell my friends and family who or what I vote for. Why wouldn’t I?

"accept cookies" pop ups

I miss the old days where it just happened

Yes behind the scene some privacy issues but Jesus it's annoying

At least remember it for a year or something!

Just had to accept the BBC swear I only accepted them last week

Third medal in four weekends affected by weather. Two cancelled, one of them today, and last week it was torrential rain for the last nine holes. My last proper game was five weeks ago.
