The totally off-topic thread

Ok this is about as off -topic as it gets:
Tip for new players / parents putting contact on school books.
Spray the table with water, lay the contact on the wet table and then cover the books. Dry surface with towel.
No bubbles ever
Acknowledgement to a dear netball mum who told me this on the weekend and saved me an inordinate amount of grief

Really?

I spent hours of frustration contacting my books back in the day........

I still question to this day - why we bother contacting at all

If only you posted three weeks ago

I have two kids that have books that look like very strange......not to mention my rising BP whilst doing them.

Went back a week ago but I was too distracted looking for YUPPS to be bothered contacting

Any explanation as to how this works?

I used to contact my own books since I was in grade 4. Yeah, lots of bubbles.... but I couldn't care.

The water film makes the external surface of the contact adhere to the table,totally flat no lumps or bumps.
When you roll the book cover on top of the adhesive surface it is smooth and no air bubbles between the contact and paper book cover.
I always make a total @rse of book covering and now my books look like something Martha Stewart would be proud of

Drank 2 cans of Schlossgold from Woolies tonight. One of the more drinkable of the lead-free beers. Rather drink that than :shock:Bud:shock:.

Never successfully put contact on a book in my life. IIRC I tried once, but stuck the pages together and rendered the book unusable.

OK thats enough personal disclosure for one night

Nope. Too many times things often said and the result is a sticky situation.

An interesting game of golf at Nudgee this morning with my social golf club. It was flooded on Tuersday and we weren't sure about playing this morning - but two fine days made us confident.

Had 43 strokes on the front nine (22 stableford points). Then it got really hot and sticky. Was getting tired as I hit a 46 strokes (20 points).

Now to wave goodbye to 3 handicap strokes

That is very good going and much better than the time we had a game at Jindalee.

On my previous trip to Thailand I had a combined total of 90 over par for 10 games with my best a 77 and the worst an 87.

The last trip was not so good, but still OK, with a combined total of 89 over par for 9 games with my best an 80 (actually 3 of them ) and the worst an 85. The final game there at Pattana (playing A&B nines) on 26 January and I shot 43 on front nine (par 37) and had 8 pars and a double bogey on back nine for a 38. Most drives were between 260 and 285 yards and the ball was coming off the club face sweetly.

Now if I can only learn to putt consistently on bermuda (couch) greens and I can easily improve another stroke per round.

And to boot my handicap in Thailand is now 6.7 while in Australia it is 13! :shock: Says a lot for the golf course I play on in Sydney.

Looking forward to next trip in April but can only find the time for ~6-7 games of golf....

Nice playing as well JohnK. I now have to back it up next month, playing off 22 now so happier as I played without expectation. I'd like to get back to 18 by the end of the year

[QF WP]

No, don't mention the b*s

 

[beardoc]

Ah, the b*s. It's been a while since you've been here in this thread. How we've missed you.

 

[QF WP]

and now that we have mentioned it, how long do we give before somebody asks the question "what's the story about the bus"???

 

[PineappleSkip]

Don't ask, don't tell.

Seriously, you don't want to know it will only make feel sick.
