Hedgecutter Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) Of all the sports to watch on television golf must be the most pointless. You don't even follow the same player shot for shot so it's not as though you see tactical development of their round. You just see a swing, a camera-shot of the ball against some clouds, then another showing it thudding against the ground and rolling to a stop. People criticise those who watch cricket, but at least that has constant action of sorts and can produce some sort of instant drama. The same is true of snooker. But GOLF? Why? What is remotely appealing about that? In snooker and golf every hit counts. In cricket (and more so in baseball) they constantly throw balls and nae c**t hits the fucking thing most of the time. Maybe it would be more exciting if the golfing partner took to the fairway and tried to catch it in one?

Breaking Decency Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 High class wine bottle opening: Wrap it in a dishcloth and smash it off your cast iron bath a few times, then drive a serrated blade knife into the cork. Turn until the wine corks itself and the knife goes straight through your thumb. Time to buy a corkscrew I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Just caught the tail end of Jurassic Park and can't believe that it's 19 years old. Effects still hold up pretty well though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 High class wine bottle opening: Wrap it in a dishcloth and smash it off your cast iron bath a few times, then drive a serrated blade knife into the cork. Turn until the wine corks itself and the knife goes straight through your thumb. Time to buy a corkscrew I think. If the wine is corked it will have nothing to do with your convoluted opening process. Corking is where the wine has reacted with the cork and gone bad - how you take the cork out would have no effect as the wine will already be off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jambo-rocker Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Made a day of it yesterday and spent my Sunday in the pub. I still managed to sober myself up perfectly to drive into work at 20 past 6 this morning. Only downside (other than the fact I'm working and tired of course) is I'm dropping the most pungent F-bombs that I didn't even think I was capable of. I can't even stand my own smell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that he meant the cork has dropped into the bottle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
