Exactly reet, as if there isnt enough choice. BBC only has eight days of golf a year and those of us who love the game really relish Sunday at Augusta. I'm sorry Mick that there is no celebrity reality show on this evening but I'm sure you can find Come Dine with me somewhere.

Ironically my series reminder for Come dine with me has just appeared on screen - but tonight I have to decline. The Masters is my favourite sporting viewing of the year Tone.

It's been an almost perfect day. 25 mile time trial this morning in Kent at 7. Back for lunch in the park with the family in the sunshine. United at 1:30 (would have been nice to get a win). The Paris-Roubaix all afternoon with suitable beer on the side. FA cup semi-final magic then The Masters until bed time! I'm in heaven.

Peter Allis on Mickleson's daughter being congratulated....


He's just my Dad

He may be a superstar to you

But to me, he's just grumpy old dad....


I like Peter Allis and Martin Johnson's column criticising him in today's Sunday Times was way off the mark. Allis is the best british golf commentator there has ever been.

mmm...I think his commentating is ok BUT his opinions for journalists are largely sh1te and far too about his set of outdated values and prejudices...I suspect someone else will do just as well when he's gone and I wouldn't be that bothered if that's tomorrow.

The little Italian amateur sitting in the Butler Cabin waiting to receive his medal alongside Mickleson was wearing his sweatshirt and shiny white trainers.


Most gof clubs in England have a strict "no trainers" rule so that was quite funny.

I've said I've not a problem with his commentary (although it's not actually that informative for us 'non-golfers' who couldn't give a shite about the 19th at Lower Worslingham etc etc etc)but his comment about Woods last week were disgraceful, he didn't say that the Matsers committee should have the balls to bung out Norman who shagged anything that moved or Faldo who hardly kept his clubs in his own golfbag did he? He comes over and is, I suspect, a nasty old home counties snob....

I saw your coment on this already Quids but you are barking up the wrong tree on the racism thing, I believe.


With Woods it is not the fact that he slept around - perhaps Faldo and Norman did too - its the fact that he did it with prostitutes and porn stars. Pre arranged contracts with professionals in the sex industry.


In short, most believe, he let the image of the sport down.


Most people make mistakes in life but Woods was into deviant behaviour.

Well, I think Allis is an embittered old snob well past his sell by date...


He must have said "Does Mickleson get his haircut by the same barber as Jonathon Ross?" about 5 times. All good shots are lucky, etc etc - Ken is infinitely more informative and interesting...put Allis down I say.

    • Vispring, I'm not a poet so I don't have enough vocabulary to gush about it, best money I ever spent. Open your wallet, they say you spend a third of your life rafting on it (probably more these days with Netflix).
    • Ah wonderful, I'll pop in and see him One more day and then the fundraiser will close. Just £70 needed to get to £1,500. Thank you all for your generosity and support. Private messages have been lovely. 
    • Time will tell if H&B are loved or loathed, the footfall they get and generate will determine if they stay or go. That's the nature of businesses, they come and go dependant on usage. Examples are M&S, Poundland Local, Co-op, Superdrug, Mons, the chain restaurant/takeaways, the chain Estate Agents, Toolstation, Screwfix to name a few.  As much as people would like to see Lordship Lane remain a high street of independents, it is becoming clear that due to Landlords hiking rents, some are unable to survive. This leaves empty units which some of the chain brands considering it to be worth a "punt". I'd have thought that businesses operating in shops is a better alternative than a high street with multiple empty units, but what do I know, they are just thoughts on the subject.   Take a look at Croydon and Bromley where what were once thriving high streets are in decline.  I have to say that some of the prices charged by the independents are eye watering, and incomes i'd have thought have to be substantial to afford their prices. Personally I'd love a Lidl to open on what was the site of the Harvester, but I guess that would get shouted down, oh the thought of Lidl in Dulwich. Whatever next. 
    • IMO, Sealy, the best nights sleep you'll ever have.
