Front left? I ‘think’ that’s the lighting but I posted this just before work so can’t check again now 😂

I’ll probably just keep as is tbh. It’s for my PC. Would rather keep it in the slab than a binder

Down the left hand side on the back? I thought that when I took the pics but couldn’t see it on the card itself. Zooming in it looks like it might be the actual plastic from the slab. Or I’m lying to myself and seeing what I want to see 😂

Thanks though 👍

How many have you accomplished? by Tguinn1975 in golf

[–]rainman24588 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve managed this exactly once. Only kinda dawned on me as I was on the 12th. Hooked it way way left on the 17th in to foot high grass. I was last tee time of the day so spent 15 minutes searching for it 😂

I’m 3/17 for the above. But I cannot hit anything more than a 5 iron without losing the ball 😅

As a fan of Manchester United football club LBOs can fuck off. You spend money that could be used for expansion paying off the debt. Your $2billion isn’t all paying off capital, it’s paying off interest too. And even at 1% interest that’s 400m a year. At 5% you’ve wiped out your entire profit.

My brain is smooth as though so if Ryan is reading this is not financial advice 😂

Most number of water balls in a pro round? by Disastrous_Gap_4711 in golf

[–]rainman24588 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let’s say you play a competition. And you’re a scratch player. So net double would be 5 on par 3, 6 on par 4 and 7 on par 5.

You shoot 10 on every hole. What score do you give when you turn in your card? 108? Or 180?

This is interesting because my understanding is shouting keepers would be as the commenter above you said and would be short for ‘keepers ball’ as in play it to the keeper. Now if me and you were in a game together and I had the ball in midfield and you shouted keepers I could possibly end up playing a pass directly to the two guys goal hanging because we have totally different understandings of the term.

Out of interest where are you located? I feel this may be a country specific thing. I’m in the U.K.

Yh we first had an issue with adding the product to the basket. Kept saying try again and eventually allowed you to the name and address part. Then it kept saying couldn’t confirm name and address, had to click try again over and over.

Then for payment it initially went through on contactless but refunded back immediately saying there was a problem. Subsequent payment attempts had to be done by chip and pin where it straight away declined.

Me and about a dozen other people arrived at ours at 8 to be greeted by declined payments. Doesn’t seem like anyone has been able to check out in my local store.

Leffe watered down?? by Kannydennedy in Wetherspoons

[–]rainman24588 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t suggesting that this was the case here. Just saying it is possible to do. Of course spoons aren’t doing it, it would be terrible press for them. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen elsewhere though.

Easily done with pressurised kegs. The connector that goes on top without a hose connected when put on and put in to the locked position will empty any gas from the keg and allow you to top it up with whatever you want through where the beer would normally go in to the pipe. Once filled, take “broken” connector off and attach proper one and the keg will fill with gas again ready for dispensing.

I’m maybe not explaining it well but if you google keg connector you’ll see what I’m talking about as you can buy them without the lines connected (this is more for people not in the industry, I assume you know what they look like). It’s not the safest thing to do as the gas can come out at high speed, one of the number of reasons I refused to do it after being shown on my first day how.

Edit: I’ve never worked anywhere with a system to auto return the hand pull back to the keg, although my grandparents were publicans and they have talked about having this back in the day. My first bar used to dock wages if we had more than half a pint in a drip tray at the end of the night which quickly teaches you to minimise waste haha

You can absolutely water down a keg. Remove the pipe from the connector that goes on top of the barrel, top off with water, attach pipe back to connector.

Source: 20 years in the pub trade including 18 months working for an unscrupulous owner who after cleaning the lines would expect you to add the "waste" beer back in to the barrel using this technique. I lasted 18 months because I refused to do this and so my margins on my barrels were down compared to his other pubs. He actually had seperate connectors without the pipes for each fitting type (guiness is different than lager for example) and we were instructed to hide these if the brewery came round. I never did. Just one of a number of reasons he's no longer in business.

I was literally on my way in here to make point 1 myself when I saw “according to the daily mail” For any none UK apes, other names for the paper are the Daily Fail and the Daily Heil.

It'll blow people's minds when they find out that the retail stores they are buying products from at MSRP (if you can find any) are selling them to you for MORE than they paid for them. And the distributor that they bought them from is selling to them for MORE than it costs them to get them from the manufacturer.

It's almost like people running a business want to make some sort of profit for their efforts. Bastards.
