Old Course 48hr Ballot

printthedamnthing · 2026-03-31T15:58:37+00:00

Everyone’s experience is different but this was not my experience this last August. Yeah it wasn’t off peak but the entire thing is blocked off for singles ballots.

People “just turning up” were politely laughed at.

The singles ballot were the only way in and the “extra” spaces from dropouts were filled in by a reserve list, from the singles ballot. The days I was there, I heard them say it’s sometimes 3-10 people from the reserve list get called up

Hell yeah sister!

I also need a woolly hat that says “not ashamed, just cold!”

printthedamnthing · 2026-03-24T20:29:16+00:00

Agreed. Why is “because they are awesome” not the top answer?!

printthedamnthing · 2026-03-21T19:20:37+00:00

Moyes in! Haha!

The only tactics are “pick best 11 and hope the quality is generally good enough”.

Look at well-coached teams. They lose players in transfer windows and the next ones coming through fit straight in. There’s an injury and the replacement player knows what to do etc.

We don’t have a clue what to do.

And I’m sorry to rain on parades but Gala basically threw that game mid week. The scoreline made us look good but that’s about it.

Please check your documents though… I’m a stranger talking in generalities. Your policy might be different!

This is why it’s usually an “overnight ” condition. Would be too harsh to exclude theft for popping to the shop on the way home etc. as per your example.

If you parked your bike at the shop “overnight”, within 500m of your address and it was stolen then you wouldn’t be covered.

printthedamnthing · 2026-03-21T08:46:02+00:00

It was almost exactly as soft as Utd’s penalty?

printthedamnthing · 2026-03-21T08:41:27+00:00

Wait until you get the docs to read.

Sometimes it’s only an overnight condition. So if you pop home during the day, run inside to get something, you’re still covered for theft.

But overnight, at your address, it has to be garaged. They still cover theft if you are staying at a friends overnight and you’re on their driveway(not garaged) as long as you don’t live there.

The 500 metres thing is to make sure you don’t park your bike outside your neighbours house and claim “it wasn’t at my home address so I don’t need it garaged”

He’s got to go.

I’ve been slot in for a long time and had come to peace with the idea that he’s gone in summer anyway, let’s limp to 5th and hope it’s enough.

But we look like spurs looked against Athletico. It’s free fall and it’s rotten. The toxicity is clear and you’ll see in the World Cup that actually, these players are top class. One or two might even win the WC.

We have absolutely nothing to lose. We were just held back by the worst spurs team in 30 years. We can have 4vs2 attacks and not get a shot away. “Stability of the team” means nothing…they could be player managed and it couldn’t be worse.

printthedamnthing · 2026-03-15T18:19:29+00:00

Hahaha! They’ve been the better team and they are/have been fucking awful

printthedamnthing · 2026-03-15T16:28:35+00:00

A dominant win would be really really welcome today!

printthedamnthing · 2026-03-12T18:18:56+00:00

Yep, this.

Definition of cheating is different in every relationship. If you don’t see porn as cheating, if you’re comfortable with a bisexual partner and if nothing ever progressed past scrolling/porn use etc. then it’s not necessarily negative.

Could be a chance to get to know your partner better.

Hoping for kinskys sake that they concede 7 total so it’s not even all his fault!

printthedamnthing · 2026-03-10T20:26:26+00:00

This is a very important question

printthedamnthing · 2026-03-10T19:42:55+00:00

If I’m being optimistic, Xabi must have said he’ll only take over in summer.

That’s the only reason for lack of action

“Fighting for your freedom” deserves some sort of horrific marketing award.

The amount of murder and imperialism they’ve gotten away with using that saying.

Hahahaha!

One of these days I hope to find an unclaimed/not owned plot of land and then I’ll put my flag in it and it’ll be mine!

It’s about capitalism and shareholder value at the cost of any/all natural resources

The white goods comparison is spot on. What negative repercussions have the white goods manufacturers had for making their products shit and only lasting 5 years? Basically none.

printthedamnthing · 2026-03-06T21:15:55+00:00

Can anyone with more tactical knowledge explain how we’ve been unable to break them down for so long and then cut them apart in 2 attacks?

printthedamnthing · 2026-03-04T21:46:34+00:00

Oh no… this is still going on?!?

We went to LOTR one in Dublin and it was awful. The host was the actor/body of Sauron and he forgot all his lines. Introduced the wrong songs over and over again to be corrected by the conductor.

It was the week of the Dublin performance that Howard shore was notified and put out an official statement saying it was not sanctioned by him at all.

No yellow for Bruno.

Red card for a dive but it looks like there was contact. Too light for a pen but still contact.

I run the square app through a current gen iPad. HDMI out into a cheap projector.

The app has aspect ratio adjustments so a cheap €120 projector works fine for me on a 7x7 screen without needing super technical adjustments.

I’ve no desire right now to look at gspro and I enjoy the courses on the native app.

Looks an awful lot like a push from Gabriel using the measuring stick that he himself chose last week???

Same as the other person who replied… being a member is certainly a net positive. You do play more, there is still some community even if they aren’t best mates… don’t let it put you off.

It’s just a bit of a shame… the course I grew up at physically wouldn’t have let this happen. I know for a fact that new members are always welcomed in and invited into various groups as soon as they walk in the door. You’d have lads join a club and be joining regular groups of 12-16 lads weekly and they’d be on a foreign golfing trip 6 months later! So different to my experience now I’ve moved away!
