The closest I got to golf at St Andrews was overlooking #17 during dinner.

I have a massage chair thanks to Costco in the US. It works great because I ordered it with Australian power.

V8 ??

It came with bells and whistles like cars do that I will probably never use. I love it so much I can fall asleep if I put it on a 30 minute cycle.

"F Troop"

Why oh why isn't it on TV, free or otherwise, given that there is so much other cough shown.

I purchased the full box set for my brother for his last birthday - he thinks I'm the best sister possible now

That looks like a sugar bomb Denali. New thinking is that sugar rots our brains.

If someone invades my personal space I really don’t like it. A crush on buses, trains or lifts I really notice. A massage in the QF First lounge can be relaxing so l will do that.

The RR Sport and Velar (high spec versions) have a massage function in the seats. I think the Costco one would come in a lot cheaper especially as you would not have to pay extra luxury car tax and stamp duty

Just completed Netflix Binge watch of that new series which I can’t mention here otherwise I have to move it to the TV shows thread. No ancillaries like junk food were involved either. Luckily for me my 3 Mbps ADSL was able to keep up with Netflix plus 2 screen-agers apparently doing school work via YouTube

Am sitting in the outdoor area of the Holiday Inn at Santiago airport. Fly out tomorrow morning (it is 10pm here now). I have picked up a cold/flu and am miserable. Having a bottle of merlot to see if that helps. The anti-flu pills (pseudoephedrine etc) seem to have no effect. The speakers are playing a collection of 1980's music - very depressing.

Just sharing my misery

In my little semirural area there was an IGA for years - very small one size of a chemists in floor area. Then came in Franklins (subsequently closed) and Aldis but the little IGA is still going strong

Difficult when you are married to an accountant..... and as I do all the bookings, and pay for everything while on holidays, he has no idea how much it has cost. He only wants to know at the end of the trip.

What and not at the end of the 13th period?

Why 7 victorians died on road last 24hrs?

I just want to be able to open the door exiting the toilets without touching door with hands (after washing)

Yes I would like to know why almost universally, the door to a public toilet opens inwards so you have to grab a handle to open it to get out. Or why there has to be a door at all in most places. And while I'm at it, why there are no paper towels for hand drying in Australian airports (last week I took 8 flights in a week and there was not a hand towel to be had in any of the airports), as they can be used to grasp the handle afterward. It's gross to grab a handle that someone before you has left it wet! (something I'm also guilty of because I do not like Dyson hand dryers - they have been shown to be even more gross and germy than the other types. And who has the time to use the old-fashioned type).

I won't forget the 35, 2 under, I shot at St. Andrews, Rayong on the front nine last year. Could have been a real special day but followed up with 48, 11 over, on the back nine.

That’s why I don’t play Golf. That scenario would do my head in
