Things That Gladden The Heart

[Sid Rixon IV]

Lost my watch on the course last Sunday. Not expensive or any sentimental value to it. It’s a £70 Seiko automatic that I use for work. Went up the club today for the 1st time since last Sunday and there it was sat on the desk in the pro shop.

And what was the price tag?

Out with the troops tonight, so good to have the generations with us, our kids are grown up and it’a great to have them with us as we celebrate.

Isn't it Weston-super-Mare?

It is, but as my mum wasn’t ever on a golf forum, she was never pedantic enough to mention the hyphens

Customer Services at Spear & Jackson.
They really are the best I've ever encountered .................................. by a distance!
A spring broke on a pair of loppers last Saturday.
I emailed them on Sunday evening, they replied on Monday morning, I sent my reply later that evening.
The following morning a new part was in the post along with a secong one as a spare.
No charge, no quibbling, no problem.
Spear & Jackson are my 'go to' for ant gardening equipment.
Oh, and their loppers are truly epic!
Four or five of my mates/family have bought the same.

I had exactly the same experience a few years ago. Same part, same service.

Obviously the Go Kart of the gardening world

2nd Sunday of Advent. Thoughts and hopes this coming week for peace…peace of mind for individuals; silencing of words and actions of division, and stilling of despair, anger and fear in all across communities and wider society. Well I can but hold out hope.

Just M&S food in general

Did a contract with M&S at Stockley Park, food for staff was top shelf.

Cottage on Arran in June, booked and sorted. If only the Ferry Company would sell tickets this far out!

Last time we visited Arran I told my wife that as she loved Arran so much I had bought her a cottage.

It measures an inch square and looks very pretty.

The wife is not well so I was sitting at home twiddling my thumbs when my 2 eldest turned up and said they are taking me for lunch.

Currently sat in a nice pub with a roaring fire laughing and joking with a nice pint and looking forward to fish & chips.

Anyone who has ever lived in Leeds has experienced the Hyde Park and Headingley maintenance-free road zone. I reckon it’s to appease the populace by showing that no Council Tax is being spent on predominantly student areas .

Have you rung her to check how she is?

No I don’t want to disturb her.
If I don’t hear anything then after Xmas I’ll drop her a text

Just looking at a toilet joke on the humour thread.
Took me back to my recent Japan trip in November.
"Electric" WC's are the norm.
First reaction "A toilet connected to the mains? S*d that!"
Then you discover the seats are heated.
Ooh, nice.
Then you see buttons you can press.
Then you get a water pistol where you weren't expecting it.
A minute later I'm thinking "This is going on a bit too long".
Then I see there's a stop button.

50 days to go to retirement. Not that I'm counting.

After the jet of water, was there a warm air blower?

Bending over underneath a wall-mounted one might be something I need to practice.

Regrettably, no.
Worse, most Japanese loo rolls were flimsy which necessitated extreme usage.
