    What I think of when you say McNulty


    Surely...

    I think the only golfist I could confidently identify is Tiger Woods...
    That's not him. 🤣
    I concur that I have no idea who the golfists is, other than presuming McNulty.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Yeah I mean I assume this golfist is called McNulty. But when I hear McNulty, that ain't what I think of.

    I'd back myself to name at least 70, maybe 100 over the last 40 years, but I can't name a McNulty

    16 European Tour wins, tied 14th on the all time list with Sergio.

    Maybe I'm just getting old...

    I'm thinking 'Mark' but with no conviction. South African perhaps? Or 'Zimbawean'?

    Edit: Google says I'm right. But listing golfers I would never have said his name. The Wire though, top the list

    I've just learnt that I have a lot of second rate tennisers and golfists mixed up. Obviously I know many of the famous tennis ball hitters. But the second rate ones may as well be golfers.

    I was trying to name a second golfer apart from Tiger Woods and they all turned out to just be slightly shit tennis players.

    Strangely I will always know that Mark Calcavecchia won the 1989 Open as I was in Florida at the time and I was surprised that LeMond winning the Tour the same day was higher on the sports news.

    At the time LeMond won the tour I was busy shitting myself and screaming because I was about 14 months old.

    Rory Mcilroy! He's a golfer. He is in charge when they do that Europe v America competition. There you go.

    I do know two golfers then. It's still unspeakably dull.

    Yeah. Still not interested, and preferred The Wire any day of the week.

    Well I knew the golfer but not the other bloke. The Wire is on a long list of programmes I keep thinking of trying to watch then realising there's simply too many to catch up along with the likes of Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Dexter, GoT etc.

    Add The Shield on to that, a personal favourite. I'm on Peaky Blinders at the moment. But The Wire is peerless. It's the Merckx of TV shows. Others will go with Coppi's Sopranos, Hinault's West Wing or Armstrong's Breaking Bad

    Made it to the start of series, sorry "season", 3 of Peaky Blinders. The only thing I've successfully binge watched is Big Bang Theory, got through it all in a month after seeing odd episodes here and there.

    Shouldn't Peaky Blinders be matched with Dan Martin?

    Stop watching Dexter after the season with the trinity killer. Think it's season 3.

    Game of Thrones, you'll have to unfortunately go through the heart break of one of the greatest and most fun TV shows to be ruined towards the end. Probably the last 2 seasons. It's hard to define a good cut off point to get out beforehand.

    Breaking Bad is just epic if you can manage sitting through the slow episodes.

    Mad Men is surprisingly funny and really well written. Not sure what the final point is though or if there is even one.

    Mad Men is great. Probably my second favourite after The Wire though, probably the best TV show going. The Wire seasons are also pretty different to each other, so you can watch a season and leave it for a while. The first season is incredible, best series of TV going I reckon.

    Game of Thrones is good early on but I probably wouldn't bother, the last series is a waste of time.

    I couldn't get through Breaking Bad, I don't like all the cancer stuff, reminds me of my own mortality... (obviously getting killed by drug dealers or dragons doesn't count...)

    Peaky Blinders is fun but it's hardly on a level with the other shows being mentioned is it.
