Random Irritations

Went to the dentist this morning and when I got there, went to the reception to book in as usual. The receptionist took my name, looked at the computer that was right in front of her and then asked me to book in on the tablet on the counter. What a waste of my time to book in and a waste of money buying the extra tablets (2 on the counter, 1 for each receptionist) when the staff member just had to click a button on the screen she had open in front of her. And they call it progress!

Really don’t see the issue, it’s how a lot of companies get people to sign in these days.
In fact I’d be impressed if my dentist surgery took this step of modernising the signing in procedure

1 phone call to Warranty company
a trip to the local dealer
2 phone calls one to Spoticar and another they tried to pass the buck to
and finally a phone call to Peugeot themselves (who were excellent)
Just to confirm I will still have roadside assistance cover after March when the car will be over 3 years old.

My good lady wife has arranged for us to go out for dinner with two other couples, in the village pub at the weekend.

Quite frankly, I'd rather not go, and am wondering how I can get out of it. Daft thing is, they are all perfectly nice people and there's no good reason for objecting! (Other than being a grumpy git!)

Not having Sky, if I want to see some golf highlights (eg. Genesis last weekend) I rely on YouTube.
Why oh why are the highlights not shown in chronological order?

100% agree
The DPWT can do it, LPGA (mostly) do it, but the richest tour can't afford a wee fella to splice 10mins of highlights without showing stuff well out of its chronological order
Wouldn't be so bad if it was just a hole out between groups etc but often it jumps back/forward by several holes

Nearly a tenner to post my passport back.
