This is the weblog of Brian Curd. A lot of it is written on the spur of the moment and any benefit you gain from it is worth exactly what you paid!
I bit the bullet the other day, and after about 3 months of putting up with an old Nokia phone, I bought a nice shiny Sony 610 on Ebay. I made the decision after visiting Carphone Warehouse and being treated to their obscure pricing regime. It seems they think that an advert for a new [...]

On Friday I was picked to play in the weekly North Wilts Golf Club swindle in a four with my father. He’s now in his 75th year and has been playing there for some 30 odd years. Unfortunately we were picked in opposing teams but none the less I was there when he managed a [...]

Friday was good…… Sunday was bl**dy awful.
How is it possible to score 36 points in one stableford competition (off 3/4 handicap) and then score just 14, yes 14, in the next? today was a complete disaster. I actually hit about two good shots in the entire game, the rest, well, let’s just say they were [...]
