        We don't have to save the world. The world is big enough to look after itself. What we have to be concerned about is whether or not the world we live in will be capable of sustaining us in it.

          There is nothing like the buzz of scaling a fence with bouncers around. The Mrs finally stopped me bunking in. Just the odd round of free golf these days

            I was told about "Black Eye Friday" or something like it that was from round those parts.
            Black Eye Friday is the last friday before christmas

                Just seems to be people who never get drunk reminding everyone of why they should never get drunk.

                      Wander onto the first empty hole away from the clubhouse and start playing while forgetting to handover your fees !
