Room 101: Will Robinson – London Welsh fly-half
I’d say my grammar and spelling are pretty good and I’ve probably no real need for predictive text. However I’m not sure I’d know how to turn it off even if I wanted to. So I guess I’ll just have to live with it unless it gets into Room 101. However, it’s a pain having to double-check certain words, like ‘well’, which automatically gets changed to ‘we’ll’. Also, when I write ‘haha’ it always comes out as ‘jaja’. Maybe my phone has just had a sense of humour failure!
TRP verdict: You’re right, it’s one of the banes of modern life
2. Hard Butter
Rock hard butter with soft bread is not a good combination, it simply tears it apart and makes what could have been a delicious-looking sandwich look a right mess. Even if you manage to scrape the thinnest layer of butter off the block with your knife it still destroys the bread in the act of spreading. Tell me, why would anyone put butter in the fridge overnight?
TRP verdict: We agree, it’s butterly frustrating.
3. Short Game Golf
As someone who is an erratic driver off the tee, having a good short game is important to me if I’m going to have a decent round of golf. By-and-large, I’d say I’m normally pretty good with my chipping in and around the green, but on the occasions when I do thin a wedge shot and the ball flies through to the other side of the green or, worse still, lands in a bunker, I really lose my patience. I get so tempted to drop the club there and then and give up.
TRP verdict: Life’s a pitch…and then you get a double bogey
