As Starmer is in the process of being replaced, Politicians of all Parties seem to refer to the "good old days" when people voted in, and removed, Prime Ministers. However, the reality is very, very different.

Since 1940, there have been 18 (soon to be 19) Prime Ministers. How many were initially elected into that position? 7. Just 3 since Thatcher in 1979.

How many were both voted in, and voted out, by the electorate? 2. The last being Edward Heath (1970-74). The last Prime Minister to actually last for an entire term was Cameron (2010-14)-shortly before being forced to keep quiet about his Opposition to Brexit.

This constant need for change is not primarily due to Politicians. It is the electorate being unwilling to give anyone time to deliver the actual manifesto that people voted for. Conservative and Labour alike.

We get the Politicians we deserve.

Better, but it was a game of two halves. 40 out, 49 home for 39 stabbos.
Going to persevere with the new grip and swing though.

Great card though Tom 👏👏👏

I used my new driver yesterday and never hit it so far. However the rest of my game got left behind and shot 102 😪😪

Tony is the real bandit. I wouldn't be surprised if the federales carted him off one of these days.

Out in 40 with a triple-bogey is some decent golf Tom, and 39 stabbos with another triple at the last is borderline bandit territory.

just caught up with the diary, great read, guess your bracelet ceremony will have to wait until next time…

Cafe Rouge, Gatwick.

Must have been pre-Smartphones judging by my camera on the table.

There were 4 of us, at least 2 of whom were Luton regulars, embarrassed to say I've forgotten their names.

I do vividly recall there was a short fat bloke amongst them. Anyone care to guess his name?

Impressive, we went there because you wanted to watch the planes whilst you ate your breakfast.

Table for 4, you, me, Chinese Gav (pizzled) who is sadly no longer with us if you didn’t know 😢 and the short fat one was Deano (the Sicilian) who is sadly still with us.

The year was 2011, my last trip to Vegas. Don’t miss it either. Will probably return one day though.

I did notice Victor Hovland rocking a pair of trousers at The US Open that I felt might appeal to Tikay.

Or, indeed, look in a mirror

Dress sense still remains the same

Ahh, bless, thank you very much Trevor, most kind of you to commend my sartorial clothes sense. It's one of those things that comes naturally to me, I don't have to think about it.

Nothing wrong with your dress sense Tikay, anyone who goes to the trouble of coordinating their T-shirt with their watch strap is a fashion icon in my book.
