Random Irritations

Having a break for lunch in the garden when the next thing you know theres a snake a few feet away!!!!

Didnt realise I was scared of snakes, clearly I am lol

They’re not snakes over there, they’re just big worms with attitude. We had a Montpellier snake in the garden last week sunning itself. Only a baby at about 4 feet. Left it alone… not sure where it went but haven’t seen it in the house - both doors were open.
 
The incessant grunting in the Kerber v S Tormo tennis. It may be a great match but I can't watch it for more than a few minutes.
 
Canal water clean enough to swim in? round here I wouldn't wash dog turd off my shoe with the canal water as my shoe would come out smell worse!! It's rank.

You should have seen the state of the L and L canal when I was a kid!
Lots of the kids swimming in it , falling in it etc. Bet their immune system was top notch by the time they were adults??

Yes, I cannot watch most ladies tennis, for this very reason. I remember it starting and the tennis people should have jumped on it straight away.
It's done for only one reason, IMHO.

The fit of golf clothing. Bought several shirts and wind tops recently. Each brand has different interpretation of size. The fit differs vastly within brand. It makes it almost impossible to understand what you’re buying when shopping online. Further, why does some golf apparel feel like it’s painted on and made out of spandex/lycra? I prefer a bit more of a relaxed fit. Some of the stuff I’ve bought this year wouldn’t look out of place on the Tour de France or in a WWF wrestling ring. Whilst slightly more rotund than in my prime, I’m not qualifying for sumo in the olympics any time soon, but some of this gear is hugely unflattering.

Well you can read what material it's made out of before you order. If it has elastane or spandex in it then it's the more stretchy kind. I agree with you on sizing not being standard, I even get that with shorts, which is ridiculous when size 34 should be 34 inches, yet sometimes it's not! I like ordering tops from County-Golf though as they actually put the chest measurement on every item on there so you know which ones are baggier.
