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.

that too, though in honesty, i rarely play mid week though will own up to going to the range occasionally for a couple of hours :-)

As Churchill said Golf , a good walk spoiled !

The referendum is a long ng way off. The immigrant crisis will be forgotten by then. It leaves plenty of time for the Yes vote to make people frightened of leaving. All you have in current polls is a snapshot of current opinions. I might well vote to come out, but I believe the country will vote to stay in.

It was Mark Twain that said golf was a good walk spoiled.

Oh i thought it was Churchill .

Churchill did say,

“Golf is a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose.”

and

"Like chasing a quinine pill around a cow pasture".

Churchill did play golf for a time.

CYNIC I PAY FOR A PROFESSIONAL TO CLEAN MY CAR A EVEN A DIM PERSON LIKE YOU COULD CLEAN A CAR REMEMBER A CAR IS A PIECE OF TIN AND NOTHING ELSE

My favourite Churchill quote is when a woman said to him at a party ,

"sir you are drunk"

to which he replied

"madam your ugly but in the morning i shall be sober"

cynic if you are that lazy I will come and wash your wifes back in the bath has you are to lazy to do it .

my pleasure I am not lazy
but off to the sun tomorrow so wife will have to wait a while

:))

ah but at least i cook 4/5/6 nights a week :-)

“Sir, if you were my husband, I would poison your drink."

"Madam, if you were my wife, I would drink it."


Exchange between Lady Astor and Winston Churchill—”

The schoolteacher was taking her first golfing lesson.

"Is the word spelt p-u-t or p-u-t-t?" she asked the instructor.

"P-u-t-t is correct," he replied. "Put means to place a thing where you want it. Putt means merely a vain attempt to do the same thing."

I have noticed some people taking their own bags to the supermarket since the 5p charge was introduced yesterday. Bag usage is around 140 bags a year for each person. That seems to be very low. I shop 7 days a week and normally get 3 bags. That means I use around 1,000 bags a year. There were plenty of people in Sainsbury's just now including me still getting their usual bags.

Good for you Hays.

Stand up for your rights.

Why does it take some people so long to learn to play golf.

Some OAPs are still practicing when they are 70 like Cynic.

I was told it was something some Masons did when the Lodge was closed!

because old (very old) chap, i enjoy it and delude myself (in different ways from you) that i can genuinely play better than ever

plastic bags
i'm delighted that there is now a charge for them and the only pity is that it did not come in years ago

I am glad you agree with me over plastic bags.

Mind I do wonder if I could persuade Hays to use one appropriately.

unlike bin liners, i'm afraid they always have holes in them, or at least i think they do

Damn.
