I've never heard of snow stopping hard core golfers... Disclaimer: TBF where I originally come from snow is unheard of...
It doesn’t stop some from doing it, but you can’t get a proper strike on a ball and putting becomes a farce as the ball gathers snow en route. It’s about as much fun as riding a bike on flat tyres. There’s a reason why the club has two snooker tables.
I've just spent the last hour trying to find some of Doris's paperwork that "I must have lost" according to Doris (the fact that I have no idea what she's talking about and have therefore never ever seen it in the first place makes no difference apparently)..........only to find it in the first place she looked, gives me an enormous sense of well-being.
...please keep these coming Terry - you are making me feel more and more comfortable at calling it a day and just settling into Bachelorhood.
Stay Bachelored..... I can't believe a mate of mine is considering remarrying. Something I just wouldn't entertain.
My brother was married for 30 years (married at 18 ) divorced when the kids were well into their 20s, rented a nice house, passed his bike test, 3 motorbikes, used to come on our bike trips, self employed working 4 days a week. Met another woman 10 years younger with 2 kids, married her. Now in full time employment also working weekends, 1 bike hardly ever used, never see him did come on our trip to France but only 4 days. When I asked why get married again my wife told me off! Now she understands.
ET, does Doris have a sister? I was dragged to Waitrose yesterday with a list with 5 items on it; two of these were potatoes, another was breakfast cereal. I emerged £102 lighter; apparently it was all my fault because that included £12 worth of beer. I knew maths wasn’t her strong point, I didn’t realise how bad it actually was…
Many years ago, when I used to play a lot of golf, we always used to go out after it had snowed fortified with a bowl of porridge and thermal long johns. It was always treated as a bit of a rule breaking giggle mind. Pick and place was the order of the day with the snow scraped away behind the ball and for putting we used to clear a small channel to the hole so the ball would rattle from side to side and invariably go in Obviously the course was really quiet so you could rattle around in 2 1/2 hours rather than waiting behind someone who was taking 5 minutes lining up a putt that took them 9 shots to get to...
Currently had 4 visits to a new dentist in the last month. Charges so far have been, £75 for a new patient consultation/check-up/x-rays, £160 to replace a broken filling, £75 for the dental hygienist and £190 for a new filling. My “forward dental plan” also includes the replacement of a further 2 old/broken/poor quality fillings at £160 each. Then I broke a tooth just before Christmas which will be “assessed for treatment” next week. Worst case scenario, I’m looking at another £800 for a crown. That's my gas and electricity bill for a year Andy
Add £100 for a gold one sir ? Btw, I did exactly that but one's gangster cool became no more apparent... ho, hum.
