Random thought of the day. Has Melbourne had one of the driest winters ever? No thunderstorms, no storms, 4 or 5 days where it has actually rained and even those days cleared up fast and the forecast for the next week is one day where there is going to be light rain. The early mornings have been chilly, but a lot of those days have ended up being sunny.

You know that this is information which you can find right?

Should have used a wedge

You were asking a question and I'm saying the answer is available.

Sad what the world is letting them get away with.

Proud of Mo using his platform to speak out. It’s safe to say based on the way the establishment has tended to react to even the most benign criticism of Netanyahu that’s probably curtains for his Ballon d’Or hopes now!

Haha as much as I love the golden bear, hes talking about a different sort of lie.

 

[chef]

Great news.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Great news.

Conditionally though.

He is but I still think he's right.
I still refer back to my first thought, the mistake was missing long.

A chip from there would be just as hard if not harder. Bump and run likely ends up with same result. A higher chip requiring precision or you could be 20+ feet short and have just as hard downhill putt or marginally overshoot and the ball is in the same area.

In reality. You want to miss and hit the bunker.

You need one of those high angled lob wedges that Mickelson has, can get some serious spin on it.

From that lie putting uphill through the fringe i don't think is a high percentage shot. I'd be opening up up lob wedge and just flopping it on there, its not a hard shot imo.

Wind behind him, multiple undulation directions and a shelf 6 feet before the hole. I'd say as flops shots go that's one of the harder ones to get right.

Yeah I dunno, a put from there is an all or nothing option as we saw. **** around and find out moment.

Safer to flop imo.

There's only one way to solve this.
You. Me. That course Friday 8am. BE THERE.

Is it just me who thinks this is weird? So today I received my new credit card in the mail (commonwealth bank) and the expire date has changed from 10/25 to 10/28. The very first website I went to to edit my credit card details with the new expiry date was Amazon.com.au. So I go to edit the credit card and the expiry date that is already on my Amazon account is 10/28. Huh?

There's a thing called Account Updater service that the banks and big merchants like Amazon use where it updates your credit card details automatically.

I don't like it. It can be a pain in the arse to update all your credit card payments but it feels like you are in control of your accounts.

Thought I’d ask. Because for a decade I have done the credit card editing on merchants like Amazon myself. This is the first time it was updated for me.

Know a night shift Sergeant and Kennett is spot on.
They arrest young kids and days later see the same youths out late at night being a nuisance to society.

Quarter of a million live where I am and 1 of the 3 police stations is only open 9am-2pm...

Desperately need a new government but this shit bunch will get re-elected. Allen is no better than Andrews and he was a deadset campaigner to this state.
