  1. Had my own bizarre experience on the course today. Standing on the first tee, 4 ball ahead about 200 yards, all standing in the middle of the fairway. Couple of old guys behind were already standing waiting for their tee time (still 15 mins away) but clearly desperate to go, says “that’ll be you now to hit” to me. I laughed a bit, thinking he was joking, but turned out he was serious and was telling me to go. Said that I’d be firing one over their heads so I absolutely wouldn’t be going, started to debate it with me and saying you’d “have to be a big hitter to get near them”. 200 yards away!

    Just had to awkwardly tell him again I wouldn’t be going until they were clear, and then hit my drive to just passed where they were standing. Old guy “aye you’ll want to be drawing the ball in from there”. No mention of the fact he’d wanted me to kill these guys, and giving me swing tips when he’s about to hit a half swing drive 140. Arsehole behaviour.

    Followed up by a horrible pull into a creek off the 2nd tee.

    Scratch that. Not in water like they’d said, but right up against a tree.

  3. My course went off mats, now just announced we’ve reinstated them. I completely understand why, it’s probably a bog, but just extends time before I venture back out.

    Was in Portugal for 3 days last weekend. Pissing it down most of the time. Can’t even escape the weather when going abroad to golf ffs!

  4. I’ve had to ditch using mobile as iPhone was blocking the captcha, so now in on the laptop with the bar but presumably means I’m miles behind everyone in the queue despite being ready from 9:15. Kick in the balls, f**k you apple!

    I am in the waiting room but it is saying Technical Error, please wait. Anybody else seeing that?

    Yeah I’ve been like this for last 20 mins.

    Ireland shitting the bed AFTER we fcked up is the most entirely predictable outcome of today 

    Yep. If we’d won I’d definitely have been supporting England here, but this would just grind salt into the wounds.

    Lomu was probably about the same size as Duhan, but he was up against guys who were 5’10 and 13 stone like Cammy Murray.  
     

    Now, VDM is pretty much a prototypical winger, and guys like Darcy Graham are the freaks. 
     

    Edit; can’t wait to having a back three of Graham, Kinghorn and. VDM again. 
     

    Edit again:  the development of wingers and locks has been exponential in my time watching rugby.  You rarely see locks built like Doddie Weir anymore.  They’re all built like number 8s now. 

    I see Graham has picked up a new injury just as he was close to coming back, and it’s expected to be ‘long term’. Seems to be really unlucky with injuries.

  8. Was hard to tell from the big screen with no TMO comms, but that is an absolute fucking disgrace having seen the still picture of it blatantly on the ground. Add me (a long time ‘refs aren’t that bad’ club member) to the ‘refs are cheating c***s and shaft Scotland’ club.

    The Pot Still were doing 'Lochlea' as Malt of the Month at the moment - a farm distillery in Ayrshire. For a very young distillery their core whisky was quite enjoyable and I think they're doing a tasting event this evening too. 

    Assuming it was their core release? It’s pretty good. Their cask strength release, again as such a young whisky, was absolutely excellent. Was blown away by it considering age. They’re about to release first age statement, 5 year old.

    A few people I know are selling their houses for well below home report value in Edinburgh and that’s really saying something. Up to about 2 years ago you could expect to pay 10% over home report for a decent pad.

    Yeah, I’m in Edinburgh and paid 10% over home report in 2019. Was quite happy with that at the time tbh. First place I looked at we offered 5% over home report and was told we were 11th out of 13 bids.
