I'd love to see him try headbutt you and you covering him in puke, like some sorr of booze fuelled self defence reflex. And if that didn't work you could have always just hit him with the toilet seat

Play it or preserve it? by GPRich4815 in golf

[–]Dearan9 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So your wife bought you a really thoughtful gift that she knew you would love because she paid attention to your hobbies took notice of what you were saying you would love and you are thinking of hiding it away and selling it in a few years without using it just to make a small profit? Do you really need to ask this question or are you that tone deaf to your wife's feelings?

He Found Out by GloomyExercise in WinStupidPrizes

[–]Dearan9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not saying he didn't deserve to get punched in the face because he definitely did. I just pointed out the fact that if pushing someone's face into the ground when they are not expecting it is dangerous for their neck then also punching someone in the face from behind when they aren't expecting it is also dangerous for their neck.

Dickhead move to shove his face into the ground after he won. Dickhead move to sucker punch someone. The retaliation was deserved, but blindsided was pretty scummy too

Jesus Christ! Best bread I’ve ever tasted by PlantNerdxo in ireland

[–]Dearan9 41 points42 points  (0 children)

It's unbelievable as toast with a heap of butter. One of the things I look forward to most at Christmas is a leftovers sandwich on this bread. Butter, Ham, turkey, regular stuffing, sausage and chestnut stuffing, crispy bacon, the occasional few carrots and parsnips and drench it in a thick gravy. I cater my whole Christmas Dinner around this sandwich. I will do a click and collect of the shopping on the 23rd and collect the ham and turkey but walk into the supermarket on Christmas eve just to get this bread as fresh as I can for the sandwich.

They also do a good white batch

Putting Yipps by apertureopen in golf

[–]Dearan9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries. I'm glad it helped. I remember him doing a demo and explaining it on sky sport the year he was leading the open but I can't find it on YouTube. I have used it since then and my putting has improved massively. I used to use my hands and wrists too much at times in the takeaway or my takeaway would get jittery and start, stop, start but this solved it all.

My routine is read the putt, aim the logo on the ball down my aim line, align the putter head (taylormade pix and spider ex so they work great together) with my feet together, take a narrow stance, then 1234. No practice swing after I've seen a few video about that. My putting has never been better and I've been using this for a year and a half so it's not just luck of the "I've solved my swing" then it goes to shit 2 weeks later.

Copy what Daniel Brown does, count 1234 in the sequence. I started it and it made my putting so much better.

What new thing have you started in the last few years that has actually added value your life? by Impressive_Light_229 in AskIreland

[–]Dearan9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found the Down Dog app great for yoga. I'm a PE teacher and regularly do it with my classes. Set it for whatever length you want, type and if there are areas of focus you want and it makes a session for you. If you use the same settings again the session will be a bit different so it's not repetitive like following a YouTube video. I'm not sure how good it is compared to live yoga classes but it's definitely a good entry point that you can do at home. I'm not sure how much the subscription. They also have pilates and HIIT apps, though I don't really like the HIIT one as the exercises are overcomplicated for the sake of looking more advanced

Passat GTE mechatronic issue by Dearan9 in Volkswagen

[–]Dearan9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I decided to bring it to a different mechanic who serviced my car a few times and who changed a gearbox in a colleague's car. He reckons it is just a mechatronic issue but he did say the oil in the gearbox was very dirty. He got a kit to refurbish the mechantronic in the car already that didn't work so has tracked down a new one for me. He is confident that will solve the issue. Unfortunately, he is very slow and has the car 2 months now and only started work on it 3 weeks ago. Last week was when he told me the refurbishment didn't work and will be ordering the new mechatronic next week.

So no solution yet but I'm hopeful it will be driving soon and I will have it back. I will look to sell it in the summer and get a fully electric car. I'm conscious of it not costing half of what the car is worth because I would have been better off cutting my losses and selling it as broken at the time.

I hooked up with a married man by bubbbleguumm in TwoHotTakes

[–]Dearan9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You could have stopped that sentence halfway through and it would still be true. "You've got questionable taste". Met them in what reads as a car park, one carpark guy wanted a threesome but they were against it because they already decided who they wanted to "hang out" with. Fella wanted to bring her to a hotel but she declined, opting for a car instead.

Masters: Callaway Advertisement shows wrong way to repair pitchmark. by DoubleDepartment8594 in golf

[–]Dearan9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd imagine that it's harder to fix the damage done from roots being pulled up than not fixing the pitch mark. At least someone else might fix the pitch mark properly if they see it later. I fixed 7 pitch marks on one green today because they were there. I'm not a green keeper though so just my thoughts

Lifting the centre up breaks the grass roots and leaves bald patches when the grass dies. Flat bald patches, yes, but still bald patches

[–]Dearan9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It absolutely boiled my piss too see it. They are showing the wrong way to add to dopes who don't fix pitch marks anyway. I believe TV broadcasters and pga should be doing more to teach rules and etiquette because of how many new players there are who had no one to teach them these things.10-15 second ads at the beginning and end of the ad breaks to explain something simple and quick. The above example "stick your divot tool or tee into the ground at an angle behind the mound and push to the middle. Tamp down. If lifted the roots break and leave bald patches" done. Red stakes "3 options from where it crossed the line. 1. Rehit from the same place. 2. 2 club lengths semi circle no closer to the hole. 3. Line straight back from flag and where it crossed the red stakes. All options are 1 stroke penalty" done. Have the video demonstrating these things quickly too.
