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.

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.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By HeadNun · Posted

      Yep CRP Dave. It reminded me of Jess Phillips a couple of weeks ago, when the grooming gangs enquiry started going tits up.  It's not very statesman-like to lose your shit like that in the chamber. It's one unedifying display after another.

      He should be. His behaviour has been appalling. Refusing to comply with a Speaker's request to come back to the HoC and explain himself shows utter contempt to parliament and the electorate. If he had any any integrity he would resign. Nothing to do with the prisoner, but all to do with his arrogance and contempt. This Labour party don't have any integrity at all though. We are two weeks away from the Chancellor of the Exchequer breaking a fundamental manifesto commitment. Breaking promises like demeans the entire contract between voters and MPs. If she doesn't resign for breaking those promises (she won't) then all manifesto promises going forward have to also be treated as lies, not worth the paper they are written on.  She should have already resigned herself for the breaking the law over her failure to register as a landlord. They are an absolute disgrace. And whilst all this farce plays out in Downing St where the fuck is the Prime Minister? Nowhere to be seen, unanswerable to the public about this disgraceful shambles.

      Dell Autos is closing tomorrow

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      That's a shame. I tried to take my car there for an a/c issue a couple of times this summer but they seemed to be closed on both occasions so I gave up in the end. Hopefully they'll enjoy their retirement proceeds from selling their site to a property developer! The garage in Upland Road (Pitstop) is good for servicing and repairs. Kwik fit in Grove Vale is also good and they do the diagnostics tests too.
