Hi rusty
At least we will be spared the inane patronising commentary from Peter Alliss.

Hello, Chris,
Yes, I am not an Allis fan!
I think he was in favour of Muirfield not letting women become members.
Hope Sky do a good job!

In fact he was quoted as saying "If women want to play Muirfield, they should marry a member"!

I find Sky commentaries on the sports I follow far better than terrestrial TV - rugby, cricket, golf. The only exception is cycling, where Eurosport's Sean Kelly's "Yes, well" etc. irritates, which is why I prefer to watch the highlights on ITV4.

...not all of them marry the same member, obviously....

Chris, I find Sean boring. ("GIve it 100%,") is one of his more annoying phrases
ITV commentators are much better, I think.
Great scenery today, and fine weather!

I am sure I just saw a couple having a game of draughts on top of a precipice sort of thing.

Good afternoon, Rusty!

I had a homophone in The Times QC, to which I took exception this morning.....

Mark Cavendish came out of nowhere and managed his second sprint win - great no?
Contador is still not looking too good but at least he was among the first 40 or so runners.

Hello, Elle!

I pronounce them differently.

I have the golf on. Quite breezy up North.
Getting a visitor soon.
My son. Think Miss La Bamba has shopped me!

Hi, Rusty!
Is your son still with you?
Were I Miss L-B, I would have "shopped" you, too!
Yes, "horse" and "hoarse" - yes, to me they also sound completely different!
