Random Irritations

We always hold a post course pee up/awards in the bar and now we’re Being told by the higher ups, we’re no longer allowed to name the worst on course as one of the awards. All the awards are voted for by peers on the course not the instructing staff and are just a bit of fun delivered with humour and light hearted banter and we let the guys on course give it back to us as well. But one officer has taken offence apparently so now a 30year tradition has to stop 😒
What would be the consequence of everyone ignoring it and the recipients saying no offence taken?
 
Holy cow, that must be one of the worst ringtone choices of all time 😱. I mean, it could have been The Smiths but heck that's a depressing choice.

Good version but not a ringtone
I once had the intro to "Hanging on the Telephone" by Blondie. I was in a queue in a Post Office when everyone heard a loud dial tone followed by "IM IN A PHONE BOX ITS THE ONE ACROSS THE HALL...."
It took a second or so for me to realise it was me and several seconds more to kill it.
Cue me pulling a Mr Bean face at everyone looking at me.

Quite a bit for those involved , they’re claiming it’s part of D&I issues so would mean disciplinary action for all involved and potential charges for failing to obey orders and insubordination. So could have quite an impact on someone’s time and wallet.

I was once listening to an incredibly tedious talk by a junior rugby president at a summer tournament when my son was younger. 20 minutes into it my phone went off, Magnificent Seven 😍. It was in my pocket. Heads all turned around but I knew the answer message would quickly cut it off. I turned to the dad next to me, a friend, shook my head and said clearly 'mate, you really should have switched that off' 🤣. I then just looked dead ahead towards the guy making the boring speech. My friend went open mouthed, accepted the stares of disappointment and then looked ahead as well.

We spent the remainder of the tedious speech giggling like naughty schoolchildren. You've got to bluff it out 😉
 
Very probably. I was quite busy though and rather than search, I just started a new one 🤷‍♀️ . It's the miserable season, it keeps us all occupied and away from VAR, dress codes, golfing myths etc :ROFLMAO:
I checked because I thought there was one, turns out it was almost ten years ago. So new thread probably fine. :LOL:

Edit: Actually, tell a lie, there was "covers that were better than the original" in 2022. So not exactly the same.
 
NCP. Good Lord their systems are dreadful. And the lack of human interaction is so frustrating. They should be stopped from owning so much land and turning it into car parks, and I use the term loosely, without having a decent booking system that is useable. I mean, book for 24 hours and it cannot cope with a car leaving and re-entering multiple time in that period.
