Our golf course has an artesian well and we've always used our own water. The greens and tees are looking good, they get watered over-night as the sprinklers are on timers. The fairways are looking a bit parched, but the ball's travelling a long way. Probabably why I had a good score in a...

OK, ClaraLou, that sounds fair enough, I'll crack open the piggybank and see how much i can scrape together.

It's a date. :gnthb: :yho: Thanks

Taxi for Capney...:hehe:

Well done, Doghouse :gnthb: There are lots of scams out there that you can do little about but you can at least make sure your credit card company deal with your complaint the proper way. Do what Doghouse has done and don't let them push you around. You don't need paperwork for them to...

Lunch with (at) The Marquis of Granby (Stetchworth, Newmarket) tomorrow. I have an extra 19miles to do, as my car is going to the garage tonight due to brake failure Saturday. It would cost £90 for them to collect it, but my next door neighbour said he would take it on the trailer normally used...

Clare you have my sympathy.The councils are rotten with overpaid do gooders that go home to their expensive homes that we buy them from our taxes, while they spend all day finding ways of fitting undesirables into areas where normal people have to live.

I agree Freddy, but it`s usually from your fellow countrymen. All Welsh people I spoke to were behind the English team. It`s just a pity the players weren`t.:gnthb: We have had an update here, according to BBC Radio Wales, there are still 149 shopping days to Christmas.

Ooo! That takes me back, how old must it be now?

I discovered the Molesworth books (Geoffrey Willans and Ronald Searle) when I was roughly the same age as the fictional Nigel. He was the only way to make double maths followed by triple games bearable. For those of you who haven't met Nigel, he's a fifties schoolboy with terrible spelling but...

Update. I had an e-mail on Sunday, to say the replacement had been dispatched and the new one arrived this morning whilst I was out playing golf. I've printed off the returns label, re-packed the faulty one in the orginal box and it'll be collected tomorrow. Well done Amazon.
