Morning News

focus-ratings-mornoing newsGood morning...

A reasonable day of the week and I even managed to get some work done despite a day trip to the beach.

Following a request form a new member...

I have added the PBS selections PDF link to the Ratings Page so, if you are having problems picking up email, you can always download the PBS selections from there.

Following another request, I have also added the FC SP to the Builder CSv file that you can ask to be emailed to you showing the actual selections for your system.

I'd like to thank all of you for your sympathy and condolences.

I shal be going back to England on Thursday for the funeral on Friday.

I'll be back home about lunchtime on Sunday but will have my laptop with me and will have wifi for most of that time.

So, let's get on and take a quick look at yesterday's results in more detail....

Something to make you chuckle

New Golf Shoes

Bert, at 75 years old, always wanted a pair of soft spike golf shoes like Freddie Couples, so seeing some on sale after his round, he
bought them and he was so delighted with his purchase decided to wear them home to show the missus .

Walking proudly into the house, he sauntered into the kitchen and said to his wife, "Notice anything different about me?"

Margaret, at age 73, looked him over and replied, "Nope."

Frustrated as all get out, Bert stormed off into the bathroom, undressed and walked back into the kitchen completely naked except for the new golf shoes.

Again he asked Margaret, a little louder this time, "Notice anything different NOW???"

Margaret looked up and said in her best deadpan response, "Bert, what's different? It's hanging down today, it was hanging down
yesterday, and it'll be hanging down again tomorrow."

Furious, Bert yells out, "AND DO YOU KNOW WHY IT'S HANGING DOWN, MARGARET?"

"Nope. Not a clue", she replied.

"IT'S HANGING DOWN, BECAUSE IT'S LOOKING AT MY NEW GOLF SHOES!!!!"

Without missing a beat, Margaret replies, "Shoulda bought a new golf hat, Bert."
