There's a lot to be said for swinging easier, I mean nobody wants to come up short of the green now do they. Surely if you're using your putter you're already on the green or have I as ever totally missed the benefit this video :?


There were two tips, primarily amateurs often over-estimate their length, so they're a lot better off playing a longer iron and swinging easier.

The second tip was concerning hitting the ball before the turf, thus imparting greater spin on the ball.

Personally, I dont think we should oppose fare increases.

I think its been proved over the years, only the retarded oppose fare increases, or of course, those with absolutely no investment.

Fare increases are needed every so often, of course they are.

But. In hard times I think you can generate more jobs by freezing your fares for the odd year. Every year the London Evening Standard goes to town on any increase, followed by the usual barrage of loonies on the online comments section reeling of the usual crap about taxi costs etc.

I think the odd fare increase refusal would be fabulous PR.

Miniscabs can make it up as they go along, and depending on how busy they are or if they can be bothered. We have no choice bu the meter for jobs within the MPD.

Fixed fares should also be optional to Airports etc, and should be made common knowledge to our users.
