I just watched the BBC News headlines and they said "Northern Ireland's Darren Clarke". Maybe you should take them to task on that.


Golf in Northern Ireland has boundaries. I played Ulster Boys and Ulster Youths. Those competitions begin and end in Ulster. All interprovincial competitions are exactly that, played firstly within their provinces. Likewise we have the North of Ireland Amatuer Championship.


In Northern Ireland we have few great sporting heroes who are known internationally; George Best, Alex Higgins, Barry McGuigan being a few. Its great to be able to add golfers Graeme, Rory and Darren to the list.


Who would have thought NI would have had 3 golf majors in 13 months having only had one (Fred Daly) in the previous 100 years. Brilliant for such a little place.

I know you Alan M/LM we had met a few times.This was only a jock but some people think is very easy to wash

their hands in cold water after carpentry so for that rason I am out for good and once for all.

I enjoyed the docu on Rory late Sunday night, did anyone else see it?

It was good to see how his family keep him grounded and that he still maintains strong links with the Province, such as going back to his old school with the US Open trophy.

The news yesterday that he has recently split up with with girlfriend might explain his demeanour and strange comments after the Open about the weather...he should be used to the rain and wind.

Yes - it was excellent.


I spotted a Range Rover and an Audi Q7, for a guy who has no kids yet. Not to mention the Bentley.


Seems a very settled guy and its a shame he has split from his girlfriend - but he must be tempted to take advantage of some of the offers he gets and may be better in the long term if he enjoys himself for a few years before settling down.


With that hair, he must get a lot of offers.

  • 3 months later...
  • 2 months later...
  • 1 month later...
  • 4 months later...
  • 1 month later...

It's his choice. He is I think from a family of mixed religion, so no clear indication there and so he really is going to find it difficult to choose. I don't think his choice will actuallly upset anyone.


If he chooses GB he might get to play with Gmac, but more realistically 3 English players. If that is likely to happen he may be swayed towards Ireland, if Gmac does not get picked for GB.

    • I'm pleased to have gone onto a meter as it has saved us money.  When first fitted we found there was a leak and TW replaced the old lead pipe with plastic (we had to pay the last few metres into the house but some geezer did this at a fair price). No doubt others have positive experiences too.   Otherwise I'm no fan of the private utilities but that shouldn't colour our opinions.  
    • I recall that when the meter was installed it it was not set at zero. Presumably it had come from elsewhere or was a recon one.    Same here. I phoned TW today to ask if there was a meter at our property (even though I knew there was) and I was told quite categorically that there was not and that our bill was calculated on RV value When I asked why we used to get our meter readings shown online in our account, It they could not provide an explanation. Our RV value according to TW is 547 which equated to a 4-5 bedroom property with a large garden. With just two of us living here then our consumption must be well below the expected volume. Given the facts, I am totally convinced no that TW have an algorithm that hides the actual meter readings when the actual consumption is below the RV based consumption suggesting they are a bunch of shameless rogues!!  
    • Let me get this straight . The OP  was hit from behind by a small person out of control on a bike whose father was not only not watching him but could not watch him, because he was not in a position to see him. Are you disputing that "side of the story"? Why would someone who rarely posts on here come on here to post that? Then the OP remonstrated with the father. What would you have done in that situation?  You seem absolutely determined to put the OP in the wrong.  What exactly is your motive in doing that? Do you always assume that someone is lying when you haven't heard "both sides of the story"? Do you always disbelieve anything you are told because there are so "many possibilities"? The father in question is hardly likely to come on here to defend his lack of care of his child, is he?  And btw there were no "casual onlookers". The people who laughed were apparently the child's father and those with him. Who did not witness  "someone being smacked into by a 4 year old on a bike" because the child was out of their line of sight. It seems that you can't even get right something which is posted on a forum and there in writing for all to see. Let's hope you are never called as a witness in a court case.
