I've taken Friday off so I can see it all. Where did you get that stat from Mick? I'd have my doubts about it. In the UK it's only on Sky. How many European countries are that interested in it? In the US they'll watch if they're winning. Rest of the world, not sure.
Golf?s biennial festival of partisanship, the Ryder Cup, commences on Friday (26th September) at Gleneagles in Scotland. The event stands alone in the sport in its capacity to attract not only casual golf fans, but viewers who would not spend a single minute watching golf elsewhere in the calendar. In fact, it stands only behind the World Cup and the Olympic Games in terms of television audiences.

Not the same "watching" it on radio. Wonder if any pubs will have it on. Taken day off work so will investigate a bit later.


I was a waiter at Gleneagles years ago. Closest I ever got to the course.

It's nice watching it live on TV - and an excuse to spend all day in the pub :)

Few have played really well so far but it's building up nicely to Sunday's singles. Whatever about the numbers watching I think it makes for the best sporting event to watch which I suppose is helped by having a foot in one camp or the other. Wouldn't surprise me if they were level by tomorrow afternoon.

I'll be back...great afo watching today. Be there again noonish tomorra. Played 8 holes today. Aiming for a full round tomorrow. It's 3.5 to 2.5 isn't it?

Great days golf yesterday but the players found the breeze tricky and today the birdies are absolutely flying in with perfect calm conditions.


Amazing weather for Perth in late September HMB ?. The fans there are getting a real treat.


Poulter the postman is not delivering this morning though and possibly will be rested again for the afternoon, unless Stenson back problems flare up. Rorys on fire as are a number of others. Really warning up nicely.


Ryder Cup BBQ and a few beers may be a good idea tomoz.

    • I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.   
    • Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.
    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.
