Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Fred1new, you must be very happy, you now have two friends on this thread (goldfinger and tanker). by the way, there is still a shortage of donor organs, feel free to contribute (suggest you hang onto the brain though).

Cynic, I think fred1new's criticsm of you just because you were correctly unimpressed with Lewis' customer service was a bit over the top.

Cynic,

"he did it all on his ownsome"

Only a person as insular as you seemed to be would hold to that opinion with such certainty.

Cynic - Matter of interest, I can play Royal Aberdeen with a member for £20. What would the green fee be at Wentworth?

The average of various polls now showing 50% think that Thatcher was good for UK and only 25% thought she was bad. That is probably better than Blair.

Chris Carson, you would need to take out a second mortgage now to play one round of golf at Wentworth or Sunningdale or Coombe Hill or The Berkshire. I was just joking by the way when I suggested earlier that cynic was a member at Wentworth! Well maybe not a second mortgage, but I would think that something around £150 might just cover one green fee.

doodlebug - Oh right, thought he was. I can imagine, lot cheaper to play in Scotland. As regards Royal Aberdeen membership even if I could justify to my wife the fees, long waiting list and probably a letter from the Pope to get in. :O)

Chuckles.

Which orifice are you thinking out of now?

Chris - i'm afraid an awful lot more, which is why i never let guests pay for themselves .... walk off the street and your wallet will be significantly lighter! ..... in honesty, because it is a "must play" venue (with good reason), there is an intentional policy to deter casual footfall

i agree i'm very lucky to play there, but having been a member for 40+ years, i would (will?) find it very difficult to give up

btw, one of my clients has half promised me a day at Royal Aberdeen when the huskies are put back in kennels :-)


doodle - i don't think you can even play Sunningdale as a casual visitor ..... surely Coombe Hill isn't that expensive or even in the same league ..... The Berkshire is great - I play it several times a year - and I doubt it's that expensive; ace lunch too!

ahem! .... i'm afraid £150 won't get you to play Wentworth as a casual, except maybe after dark and not on the West!! :-)


fred - i stand by what i said about sticky having put his bag of potatoes on his shoulder all his ownsome ..... he has a brain, so if he cannot get or see past his blind prejudices borne of ignorance, who is to blame?

Some very good golf courses where you are Chris, apart from Royal Aberdeen you also have Murcar & Cruden Bay, to name just two. I played them all when I lived in Scotland.

How is it possible to think out of an orifice?

You tend to talk out of your arse 99% and think 0% of the time

cynic - give it a few weeks before playing Royal Aberdeen, still a bit baltic up here.

doodlebug - Aye your right, excellant courses up here, very lucky.

Question time tonight should be interesting with plenty of question about Margaret Thatcher, especially as it will be in her constituency of Finchley.

lol this thread is so funny :-)

3 monkies didnt know you were a bird.

Same was with Maggie so and so eariler in the week.

I think its brilliant that you are posting your own, agenda etc.


PS, what yo doing sat night????


IM UP foor it if you are.

Dil great to see you posting here,

Oi Chris ... guess u weren't a fan of a Hatton lol (what a nutter).

But it was idiots like him , Scargill , Benn , etc and the sensible part of the Labour party leaving and forming the SDP that kept her in power.

79 won it as Labour had lost the plot and country was in chaos
83 snap election and wins on back of Falklands
88 split Labour vote with SDP and still no credible opposition


Imo she was as good / bad as every other PM I've endured but her good / bad points were extremity .

Carry on fighting guys sorry for the interuption but ffs Haystack Hitler was more left wing than you.

And for the record ... no I and the rest of Wales aint happy about receiving a reduced subsidy to pay for her funeral.

gf ... I'm bored :-)

Dil I think we all are.

No coincidence this thread is so popular.


Were all fed up and bored,
