Overheard at the LFGSS golf club bar

Yeah but what's the value proposition?

I propose that if I should hit the timepiece and investor with a hammer, the value would decline. The world would miss neither.

Nothing wrong with watches as a hobby

Wouldn't anything Seiko related get sneered at on the 19th hole? Surely Rolex required.

These days it’s about having something which gives how many yards to the next pin. So a stainless steel Apple Watch because the aluminium ones are for cheap bastards who buy non-Quattro Audis.

Doesn't ones caddy provide this information?

My Garmin does that, and I've used it for that very purpose a few times. It's mostly plastic though.

Nope, that's pitch and putt level, municipal 9-hole at best.

Brutal.

I really miss Tommy Cooper.

work colleagues that show up at 7:30 am, only to make and eat breakfast at their desks, then pop out, grab a coffee, stroll around the office and chat shit until 9am then start work...how about you get your shit together like an adult and just fucking work the hours you're paid for.

I hate thread?

Spent 4 happy years doing that when I used to work for a local council.

Except that I got breakfast from the cafe next door, and didn't generally talk to my colleagues if I could avoid it.

As we had a time card system, hours built up and I could take a day off every other week. :-)

Paid by the hour? That's not very golf club. Unless it's a non-exec role?

I imagine it’s the exec talking to their exec friends at the 19th about their lazy workforce.

Oddly for NI, we did actually have a couple of Black kids in the school, who got no racial bullying (as far as I knew, and I was relatively friendly with one of them).

some of my best friends are.

Heh!

Presumably whoever wrote this posted it whilst on a work computer, during office hours?

The complaint was the other way around - apparently it's a problem if people want to turn up at 7:30 and chat shit / eat breakfast for 90 minutes before starting work at 9:00

Wow. Odd.

£400 gets you two bags of penne

our house is thatched

like the can of emergency soup you keep in the cupboard - when you're desperate enough you'll resort to it but the rest of the time it's forgotten about.

Ha! Excellent out of contextness but I don't think canned soup is very golf club even if it's an emergency.
