    Julian Clary got properly cancelled for years for that joke, unlike these modern day whiney snowflakes. 

    P.S. When I said properly, I meant improperly. 

    "I'm not sure that many of the viewing public got that first quip: "It's very nice of you to recreate Hampstead Heath for me here"...(it was an infamous gay cruising area at that time as most of the studio audience would have been aware). It prepared the ground for the fisting one-liner...which then prepared the way for the "red box" double entendre...(red box being a government minister's box of official papers as well as a very sore backside post-fisting..). A very cleverly timed and executed succession of very good one-liners."

    I've always believed Tesco to be a bunch of c***s.

    https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/sep/23/tesco-aldi-price-match-bbc-panorama

    "Dozens of Tesco food products contain lower proportions of key ingredients than “price-matched” equivalents at Aldi, according to a report that raises questions over value for money at the UK’s largest supermarket chain.

    BBC Panorama said that 38 out of 122 Tesco products it surveyed contained at least five percentage points less of the main ingredient than the Aldi items they had been matched to."

    Been invited to apply for a job in the US. I'm not thinking of going for it, as I'm pretty well settled here and have family etc. But - the wife keeps wanting to revisit the discussion. I think she might be keen. But I am utterly uninformed as to what would be involved. 

    For some context - the job is in New York, in Manhattan, and the starting salary is just over double what I am on now. If we moved, it would be me, the wife and my 14 year old daughter. Scott would stay here and live with my mum, and go to uni. Stay with us in the summers until he graduated. 

    So, for the expats here - would the process of moving/paperwork/immigration/finding schools etc be a total ballache? Or worth looking into? I really am not thinking about it but the wife is asking questions.

    Anyone here a member (or even just played) Craigielaw? Looks to be one of the only East Lothian links courses that’s open for membership.

    I've played it a few times. Find it tough (I'm off 14 atm), gets pretty windy down there and there's more than a few of those upturned saucer type greens.

    It is nice and well maintained, with good facilities. Reflected in the price though, think it's a fair whack for membership.

    Spot on, Cheese. If you have the ability to hit 'one bounce and hit the brakes' type approach shots, then you will find Craigielaw very enjoyable.

    If like me, you can't, it's an utter torture chamber of missed greens which then demand a good short game to recover.

    Those PGA-style greens are too much for a hacking dog like me.

    Houston getting clapped in Minnesota is interesting. Lets see if Darnold manages to look like a competent QB beyond week 3 for the first time in his career

    https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2024/sep/23/sam-darnolds-renaissance-shows-offers-hope-for-the-quarterback-scrapheap

    "Darnold is still far from a top-tier quarterback, but after three starts this season we have enough of a sample size to believe his turnaround is probably real. He’s been one of the league’s best passers by completion percentage over expectation, according to the NFL’s Next Gen Stats. Vikings head coach and playcaller Kevin O’Connell has turned him loose, letting Darnold hang on to the ball while receivers run their routes and then fire the ball downfield. (At 3.03 seconds of average time to throw, Darnold is one of the most patient passers in football this year, although his offensive line is good enough to allow him that time.) With all-world receiver Justin Jefferson at his disposal, the Vikings could well continue to get strong QB play out of Darnold."

    I'm not a fan of Rory but it's mad how many times he puts himself in a position to win tournaments...scarily good

    Rory misses a putt to win on the 18th as usual. McIlroy, Lawrence and Horschel in a three person play off 

    McGinley trying to explain that Rory didn't have a club in his bag to make that second shot on 18. So why the feck did he hit 3 wood off the tee, Rory surely would have known this ?

    Bizarre shot selection.

    Mr. Horschel for the win.
