		<description>Sunny, I see a good PP golf competition in the making! 

But a round of 26? That&#039;s below par dammit...jeez, I may as well throw in my golfer&#039;s hat and burn my collection of diamond pattern socks. And to think, here I was happily ecstatic that I just today went around on a tough par 3 course in 30...bah.

Riz swings at Rohin&#039;s head with a driver a misses, as he always does with this club.</description>

		<description>26! Did you see that Riz? 

Rohin&#039;s thrown down a gauntlet and said that the milk we drink isn&#039;t from real cows (well, I mostly drink soya but that&#039;s not the point) and that compared to the Bengalis everyone else are wimps if we can&#039;t beat that score. I think it&#039;s a challenge to be honest.

It&#039;s about time we took out our drivers..... and beat him over the head with them.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s the thing about golf...nothing else matters. We never talk politics on a golf course...it&#039;s poor form don&#039;t you know, a what, what, what. Decisions concerning company take-overs, flotations, international expansions, and other business matters are conducted between holes in a quiet whisper, never interfering with the game. And this is just on a par 3 pitch n putt!

Rohin, looking forward to the sports thread. Hey, cycling is excellent cardio, but as you say, might be good to supplement with some bone stregthening and muscle building exercises...perhaps get off your bike every time you see something reasonably heavy that can be lifted (eg: (large dogs, small people) and give 10 reps. Another way of building up the muscles is to take a bit of creatine. This gives more strength but it also makes the muscles hold on to more water so you get bulked up pretty quick. Of course, stop taking it and the water mass disappears..but keep taking it and you make end up as a Creatine based Frankenstein! Bah.

Sunny Jim, I hear these calls for Ealing but it&#039;s going to take certain folks some 2 hours to drive there. Let&#039;s see, if these people don&#039;t want some action next week we can pile it in. Otherwise, Stanmore it is, or indeed another excellent Par 3 course in Hendon, but this is even further north!

ps - he who cracks 30 shall be worshipped as a minor god!</description>

		<description>I just have this image of a room. In it there is a massive fight going on between various regulars- chairs flying and suchlike. Occupying one table, and blissfully unaware of the whole thing are three Brits dressed in golf clothes and talking about the 14th hole, as bottles fly past their head.</description>

		<description>Douglas,

&quot;If you or Sunny want to delete the entire correspondence, both here and on the Desmond Tutu thread, Iâ€™d have no objection whatsoever.&quot;

Irony is fast becoming my favourite word. The whole dialogue captured the issues perfectly - from Sunny&#039;s header to the last post, and some.

How do you frame and hang a PP thread?</description>

		<description>We play at a pitch and putt, not a regular 9-hole, so unfortunately it is sadder than you envisaged. Although Riz has a mean swing and I can play a full 18 holes quite easily (though it&#039;s been years).

30 on a par 27 should be do-able (he says, optimistically).</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not much of a golfer. 33, 33, 34? Are you referring to a half course? 33&#039;s fantastic! But I feel you&#039;re not as Sunny says he wants to crack the 30 mark, so it can&#039;t be.

Riz, did I say I was lazy? I meant I&#039;m your second category, yes yes too busy to be at the gym. THAT&#039;S what I meant. You know, I might get a personal trainer. That&#039;s one way I may finally do something. I&#039;m fit - don&#039;t get me wrong there, got my resting pulse down to 50 with all my cycling - but I&#039;ve lost weight and I&#039;m too skinny. Need to pump some weights. Or inject that oil into my muscles. Or take loads of drugs.

I&#039;m planning another sports thread, but I have to get to bed and wake up early to fit the new saddle. The thread will be posted tomorrow.

People see the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ultrabrown.com/posts/flagpole-position&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;other F1 news&lt;/a&gt;?

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Because you waited for someone to condemn her at a time when most people were not around&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I think that is a lame excuse. Not around? Most of us know Bikhair and her extremely limited and distorted view of the world - I don&#039;t really care what she writes, and I suspect I am not the only one. Which is the reason she is usually ignored. 

And I am surprised, Katy, that someone as smart and insightful as you is asking why 90% of of the ire is directed at you, when you are equating ignoring trolls like Bikhair as supporting anti-semites or harbouring anti-semitic views.</description>

		<description>Clairwil,

I had deliberately left this alone for 24 hours or so. It is not me that raised it on the Weekend Open Thread, I think you&#039;d be forced to agree.

And I am frankly defending myself against what I see as a ridiculous attack.

If you or Sunny want to delete the entire correspondence, both here and on the Desmond Tutu thread, I&#039;d have no objection whatsoever.

But, I won&#039;t forget it, and I&#039;d be astonished if Katy Newton did either.

I will not be bullied.</description>
