If you suddenly found you had Rory's swing, what would you do with it?

Given the choice, would you:

A- Be able to identify all the birds and trees in the UK?

B- Speak fluent Spanish?

If you've only one wish left, use it to ask the genie for another three, then you an get all both the above and Rory McIlroy's golf swing.

Have to agree on the weight loss. That, and taking a bit of regular exercise are probably the two most beneficial things you can do.

Massive feel- good factor too.

No, no forgetting involved so enjoy your bird knowledge and kudos for being interested enough to accumulate it in the first place.

Trees are meh? How very dare you.

I can recognise most birds and have bird up, and trees are a bit meh.  I am not sure I'd use fluent Spanish much, but doing so will be a step change, so that.  If I have to forget all I already know about birds, it would be a different answer.

One on my mates, ( I use the term loosely) professes to be technophobe but posts pictures of everything he eats on our WhatsApp group.

He posted a picture of some crispy bacon and another mate remarked that lt looked good, but he hadn't eaten any for 20 years. When I asked why he said it was carcinogenic.

Now every morning I have two eggs on toast with two slices of thinly sliced processed ham cooked until crispy in the microwave. I've been doing that for perhaps the past 5 years. So I asked Google:

How much would my rates of cancer increase by eating two slices of bacon everyday for 10 years?

Considering the probable damage already done, the small increase in risk, and the amount of time someone my age has left, do you think I'm good to carry on?

PS- Decision already made, just interested to know what you think.

So if you eat "bacon", you have a 1% increased risk of dying.  But you'll already have accumulated much of that?  So increased risk of dying through eating bacon is about 1/500 for you?  Would just crack on. 

This assumes that it is only the bowel cancer that matters.  Would be other risks through heart disease and other cancers.  Think would just enjoy what you do.  Can recommend losing a few pounds as it has been great for me, but bacon isn't even high calorie.

Higgins v Xintong.

Great match so far, and not a shot-clock or flash of lycra in sight.

Will any player win 3 consecutive frames? I've backed NO at 11/4.

Weighed in

Ooooops

Lol. How did I lose that?

That fluke in frame ten was diabolical

Brilliant Tom.

You should really check out Manor house and Ashbury hotel complex. All those ranges plus much more. Also 5 golf courses at the Ashbury.

I've been taking my kids down there for over 20 years doing the archery, pistol and driving ranges plus other stuff.

Bending down for the last 8 years for a long weekend of golf with my eldest and 14 others.
