Standing in Pak 'n Save doing the bi-weekly shop I was left to contemplate the rising cost of the razor blades and the detrimental effect on my grocery budget. Why does the addition of that extra blade presumably for increased comfort and 'that closer shave' have to be reflected in the disproportionate increase if not in the initial outlay (they seek to trap you) in the ongoing cost? I was happy with my three blades before I was told I had to have four! I am firmly of the view there is a conspiracy or at best a cartel between Gillette and Schick!!
Caddying for the Woodward team on Sunday afternoon at Weedons against Weedons John Dickson and I were hiding down 14 fairway behind a largest shrub/small tree waiting for the tee shots when there was an almighty bang and an exclamation from JD "What the hell did that hit!!". The answer was simple the ball on the bounce had cannoned into my head and I can confirm it made a loud and distinctly hollow sound. Given JD and I both have suspect eyesight at the best of times there was some concern as to who had hit the ball and if it was a Christchurch player whether or not a penalty would apply - fortunately it was the Weedons no 2.
Footnote: I was subsequently fined for nodding the ball to a playable position in the rough rather than heading it into the tree. No blood was spilt and there appears to have been if no improvement in my mental faculties as a result at least no detriment (OK so the jury is still out on that and lets face it anything would be an improvement!!)
