It was a dreek day when seven hardy souls (FB, MC, DF, JG, TH, KS, and BY) turned up. Much I should imagine like Agincourt when absent MOHGS ‘lay accursed in their beds’. The true hero was The President who could only manage five holes but returned for the meeting. The Rabbi apparently could not make it because he was getting rid of his ‘old boiler’ – bang goes the Christmas corned beef pie. Anyway, on with the results:-
Champion, The Scuttler with a credible 44 points
Runners-up, Brains and the Prof with 41 points
Deputy Duffer, The Laird with 39 points
Duffer, Bumpers with 37 points.
No 2s were recorded and swears were dispensed with for the day, there were no toasts.
Last week’s minutes were accepted with some disquiet. The Clerk was criticised for failure to include the whole of the United Kingdom in Her Majesty’s realm. His subsequent attempt to blame the Competition Secretary for this ‘faux pas’ only exacerbated the situation. The meeting accepted that the Chair, on taking on additional responsibility had acted honourably, much like the little Dutch boy who saved the situation by sticking his digit in. In the circumstances the Clerk was issued with a severe reprimand, a minor reprimand was issued to the Cardinal for perceived disrespect to Scotland and the Scottish aristocracy.
Brains collected outstanding deposits for the Hunley Hall trip. Next week’s tee times are as per normal and the meeting closed at 12.50.

Interesting decision to have swears dispensed with. Let’s hope that funds continue to pour in for various away days and Christmas.
Am I the only one seeing pop-up adverts for Victorian Plumbing, or is this a potential revenue stream??
Three cheers for Lord Snooty for persevering with this little gem of a site. I was unaware, as were many other MOHGS that the blog was still up and running. It is really interesting to look back on our adventures and marvel at the way in which the society has developed over the years. I hope that other members will check out the site and make suitable observations and comments. Here is a recipe, well worth trying if you are a fan of Heinz tomato soup. Trust me , this really works. Heat up a tin of tomatoes, a tin of carrots and a tin of baked beans. Add a handful of pickled onions and a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce and blend in a mixer until smooth. Your taste buds will be tickled beyond belief. Add croutons if desired.

I think we’ll find that it was in fact “wily old crocs” who did all of the chivvying to applaud the efforts of Lord Snooty and encourage more use of the site.
Opening tins as a way of producing cordon bleu offerings seems a bit of a stretch. Just waiting for seasonal produce from the allotment for organic recipe section. Watch this space, although the small matter of an imminent complete roof rebuild might delay things.
I never recommended the product as a codon blue delicacy, only that for aficionados of Heinz tomato soup it was a dead ringer. I’m surprised this fact appears to have gone right over your wily old head.
Are we the only LOBS around? Lucky old Bloggers.
Hairy Bikers conundrum which came first the chicken or the egg?
I can feel recipe corner, poets corner and jokers corner entering the world of blog at some point.
It’s funny that you should mention jokers corner. Myself and Mrs Kwok were fortunate to be present at the Sage this afternoon for the stage production of “I’m sorry I haven’t got a clue,” when the Humphrey Littleton joke was regurgitated, about Samantha enjoying licking the nuts off a large Neapolitan. I appreciate that you had to be there to thoroughly enjoy the innuendos, but I did laugh (as the Chair would say), my Chucky orf. I may be required to go into more detail on Monday.
