    Hey all,

    you've probably seen it on other fora so if its good enough for them then its good enough for us!

    So if its non golf related and you want to input from your fellow golfers, feel free to post away in here about anything.
    It will be lightly moderated, but the usual rules apply, play nice!

    GreeBo.

    We would not leave you hanging!

    My team Forest lost again today. Following games on Twitter and people want the manager sacked! He has been in charge since the Summer!

    Yeah this whole "sack him, ever since he came here ( 3 weeks ago) we have been crap!" is really pathetic.
    Id say Alan Pardew is delighted though, lovely long term contract with Newcastle...and they are playing so well lately :-0

    Now I know why ye mods are so moody :)
    Good times for Newcastle, I feared for them a while back but glad to see a settled ship.
    I thought Chris H was hard done by but Pardee has done a decent job (really don't like the chap though)

    A disappointed ManU fan here.... Well, when I say fan, I was a good one until a few years ago until golf took over and my obsession switched.

    Follow Sligo rovers moreso now, and yes, I've only been supporting them a few years but no, I'm not a complete glory hunter. Started following them as my younger bro was in the squad for a couple of seasons.
    (He still thinks Everton came after the wrong guy in Colman... Delusion runs in the family :) )

    Yeah, united were poor today, should have won easily, Rooney was bad...Vidic was a yard off the pace and RVP should have had 2 goals...made all the worse by City winning yesterday too

    Some score by Chelsea, but the keeper was at fault for a good few of those 8!

    Anyone seen that film Life of Pi yet?

    Any use? Looks spectacular in the trailers and is nominated for a lot of awards.

    An evening spent with the nieces and nephew, don't do it often enough but put me in great spirits!

    Never thought of you as an Uncle (Gaybo) Greebo before, or a dad for some reason.
    Anyway delighted you have fun with the kids, I find it's one of the best feelings in life.

    I heard the full story why CH was replaced with AP and i tell you its a shocking story!!

    In a bit of bother this year though, need a few more wins.

    P.S. seeing as its off topic, just got the laptop working after a damm virus and the kids are after knocking out a key, anyone able to fix it?!! You dont realise how many times you need the "E" button till its gone!!

    It should just push straight back on...just make sure its lined up and push it all the way down...it will give a little scary crunch noise but should then pop back up as normal...unless they actually broke it!

    Happy Christmas lads. I imagine there will be some shiny new equipment on the first tees all over the country on the 26th. Stay safe.
    Scrubber, missus scrubber and new baby scrubber.

    i knocked out my T button a while ago and when it wouldnt push back down, I went to charmap - copied the T in the char map and everytime I had to use T, i pressed ctrl+v. Annoying, but you get used to it :)
