Things That Gladden The Heart

I posted the above the other week in Random Irritations - he waited a week after I asked for a return and finally give me a Royal Mail delivery label to return, so I did. The tracking came back saying the address doesn't exist so they're returning to sender. The reason I'm posting it here though and not Random Irritations is because I contacted Ebay on chat yesterday and they immediately ruled in my favour and issued the refund anyway. Fake controller has just arrived back at my door and the money is on the way too. I don't know why people try it on through Ebay really. Scammers would have better luck on Facebook marketplace where basically anything goes.

I had the same thing with a 5 wood. Turned up with not only the wrong shaft. But also a cracked face.
It was from an eBay store that accepted returns. So I went through the process. Printed the sellers return lable and posted it off.

The tracking said delivery attempted and card left. The seller said no attempt had been made. eBay sided with me and gave me a refund.

The seller left me some nice messages and some lovely 5 star feedback.

Two weeks later the club arrived back, now the seller won't respond to my messages. So I have an additional broken 5 wood sat in my garage.

Semi-final day in the men’s singles championship, bowls, against a very good, experienced player/coach. First to 21pts wins. 8-2 up early but trailing 8-14 not long after, and 11-18 a few ends later.

Won 21-18. Final on Sunday. Feel battered but happy.

Sat in the sun, beer in hand and having a low level fly over from 2 spitfires. I love the sound of those engines

Not having to go anywhere on a Sunny bank holiday weekend. No sitting in traffic behind caravans, or people who can't t drive. All going somewhere that will be rammed.

2nd jab today. Hopefully side effects will not kick in until after I have played tomorrow.

Had my second on Thursday - just like the first I have had no side effects at all , not sure if that’s a good thing or not ?

AZ seems to have more side effects. Vicky and Sophie have had the Pfizer and apart from a stiff arm no side effects.

I imagine the vaccine didn't want to argue with you Phil.

I am actually pricing some work at two “alternate caravan” sites in Kent... not sure if I really want the work though! Been told we need to put £500 per site per week for “on-site” security onto our price!

Maybe not Gladen the heart but it made me chuckle...
Just back from a swift 9 and the number of players turning up in just shorts and a polo and moaning how cold they were was staggering
They obviously didn't look at the forecast which said Misty and about 7° with a breeze making that 5 or 6
Most of them had to put their waterproofs on...
Sun co es out in about an hour and it will warm up nicely - but they'll all have finished by then

Well done, apparently you have only completed stage 1 of getting one, Stage 2 is getting it delivered in one piece and not like a Jigsaw. Good luck.

Having said that I got mine delivered last week by AO and it was in perfect condition, built it yesterday and had a small burn to cure it. Going to do some cooking today.

Common sense really but the thing is stupid heavy (and fragile!) definitely a 2 or 3 man job lugging it about!

Cheers, missed out a few times so really pleased to finally get one, I did notice it weighs 75kg apparently!
