Couldn't make the match due to work but two points from the full forward line looks a poor return or am I being harsh?

Is the money on the LIV tour still as lucrative?

My fear would be that whoever comes next (Vance?) will be worse.

Van Veen has beaten Humphries and Anderson to get to the final and if he can beat Littler it will be an incredible run. Littler hasn't faced anyone good yet but he will still be overwhelming favourite. The mental side is such a part of the game it is impossible to predict this one. All we can hope for is a great match.

I hope whoever bought the E-voting machines is not involved in the procurement process.

I've always thought Price was a tw*t.

Definitely no loss if we never went back. Good to see Ireland leading the way - once again.

I use the Lidl 5-blade razors and find they're grand. I always shave in the shower - two to three times a week. My routine is shampoo hair and beard, conditioner rubbed in to stubble and left. Wash the rest of me then rinse the conditioner, apply Nivea sensitive gel -always gel, never foam - then shave. moisturising lotion afterwards. Works a treat. The shampoo and conditioner helps soften the bristles.

I think C/B have every chance if they play to the best of their ability. Ballyhale have gone back a long way from when TJ et al were at their best. If they can shackle Eoin Cody it will be a big help. Best of luck to them anyway.

Mulladerg is great for a walk and Cloughglass is a lovely little cove.

When you put it away for the winter what do you do about the first cut of the season next year?

I got the Segway X315E in July this year and it has been brilliant. I have about 1000m2 of grass in two lawns, one of which has a decent enough slope and the other has several big trees. I just let it map the boundary itself and mapped where the septic tank is as a no-go area and gave it a route between the two lawns. It avoids the trees no bother. I had it cutting every second day with the weekends off. So far it has mowed 28.5Km2 and the app reckons it has saved me 141 hours. I need to bring it in for the winter soon but I think it will need one more cut at least. It cost me €2550.

I might run the ride-on over it just to tidy it up but will probably just bring the robot out and let it go.
