Good morning UK bowlers

[kiwi bowler]

Hi all, it's good to see there's now a UK heading, seeing us most of you are from the Uk:grin:

[Angel]

Yes this is a good idea, i should think a lot of members are from the UK,i definitely am hope you get your game this weekend.Angel:D

[wrong bias]

i come from the cold and rainy part of the uk:(

[Bigbear]

Good evening, not going to say where i come from, in case someone at the club, catches on, its a bit wet here, and warm ??:rolleyes:

[Surfer]

Got to put a post on this one, supporting the UK, anyone from Ireland out there, got one from Scotland, some from Cornwall, Devon,Australia, and New Zeland, must be some welsh, as well, good to keep in touch,8-)8-) better not say where I'm from in case I Spy in out there.

[kiwi bowler]

Hi Surfer, I thought I Spy might be from arround your area:grin:

[Surfer]

God you're right, never took much notice of the pics, only notice the women when they are at the other end of the rink,, might have been taken on the Jersey Tour, perhaps the Jersey ladies, don't like our Cornish, Maids, will have to watch out, hate to have my pic, with me eating a Pastie,not a pretty sight.Surfer:cool:

[Sam]

You never know who is watching you surfer, better bowl well, could be a Cornwall selector, with the camera out there.:D:D

[Sam]

Know one lady bowler, who got a trial, for the County team, she wrote on the bottom, of the letter, your twenty years too late, would love to have been a fly on the wall at that meeting.:D:D

[Silver]

Got to laugh at this one, would love to get the chance to say your twenty years too late, to the mens selection committee, only problem is i never will,:(

[mary]

Hi everyone, how is the bowling going, has anyone won through in the county competitions, would love to have someone to cheer, epically if they get to Lemington, always go up there for a week to see the finals, so fingers crossed, great place to go.:D Mary

[Crabie]

No not so far, love someone from the club to get through, got a triples who lost in county quarter finals, awful lot of good bowlers, to beat before anyone gets through, the friendly sounds good the sandwiches better,:D

Well I'm in a different country (NZ):grin:, but someone from my club won the Auckland Men's Champ Singles

[Devon Bowler]

Thats great, good news for your club, how many clubs do you have in your division, over here we go by County's, Devon Cornwall,Gloucester etc, each County is divided by divisions, north south east west, long way to go to get to Worthing, not a lot of players make it, interesting how different Bowling is around the world:)

[kiwi bowler]

Hi there, in my division or Centre (Auckland) as we call it there are approx 50 clubs and in the whole of Auckland there are 3 Centre's: Counties, Auckland and North Harbour.
Our guy who won the Auckland single's will be playing against the winners of all the other centre's around the country. But I don't know if he's done that yet or not.

[Angel]

Hi we got four divisions, all depends on the area if you are rural, could be twenty clubs each just depends, had a ladies fours play in the county semi finals yesterday, got through to the final, and had to stop fifteen ends, the score fifteen fifteen, strange, the green was waterlogged, and they will have to play the next six ends on Sunday morning, got something good to look foreword to, if they get through, they will go to Lemington, and represent the County. fingers crossed. :D:D

Got to be a brilliant Bowler to have gotten this far, very talented, lot of clubs to win your way through, the club must be very proud of him , hope he wins, we haven't got anyone through from our club for a number of years, still trying:(

[Crabie]

Did very well getting that far, think our club is going down hill, hard to get any new members, just got to hope for a miracle, think thats what it would take for any of our chaps to get to worthing.:(

[Bigbear]

Hi Kiwi Bowler, do you have a lot of Youngster, start to bowl at a young age, just wondered if thats how you get such good bowlers, wish i had taken it up years ago.:)

[kiwi bowler]

Hi Kiwi Bowler, do you have a lot of Youngster, start to bowl at a young age, just wondered if thats how you get such good bowlers, wish i had taken it up years ago.:)
Yes they are starting to play now when they are in High School as part of school sports programmes. Then a few carry on playing when they leave school and some of these are very good bowlers.
There are no very young bowlers at my current club, but yes our guy has been playing for over 20 years. He is one of the younger players at our club in his late 40's, I think.

[Silver]

Good to know there is a programme, to get young people bowling, not got anything like that, know one club with about twelve youngsters, they approached the local primary school, and had a bowls day, did the trick, seen a lot of little kids, about seven or eight, out practicing on the green, :D

[Sam]

Sounds a good idea, got to keep them, thats the problem, they get to a certain age, and girls, football, etc take over, not sure what the answer is:(

[Devon Bowler]

What we need is the fifty's plus sports people, who have given up golf football and cricket, make great bowlers, and good club members, not sure how to find them, would be a good idea if every member, tried to bring a friend along, for a fun bowling day, not a bad idea surprised myself, think i will suggest that to the captain.:D

Yes Devon Bowler, I think it's an excellent idea, think I will also suggest it for the start of our season in September.

[Angel]

Just saying good morning, think i will suggest we do what they did years ago in the navy, go and collect a few ladies out of Tesco, and take them to the bowling club, sorry just a mad thought, would make good headlines, Angel. think the rain has gone to the brain,:rolleyes::rolleyes:

[Lardy]

Hi the rain has got to you, not a good idea, Tesco would have the store detective waiting, think you need a bit of sun, to get back to normal, LARDY.:D

[Sam]

Not a good idea Angel, could take you off to the funny farm, think thats where they take Bowlers who start to mutter to them selves ,on the green, got to say they might be full by now, think the rain has got to me as well, Sam:D:D

[Bigbear]

Hi starting to look like a duck, will have webbed feet soon, wading through the water on the green, what we need is white wellingtons, someone could make a fortune.:D

[kiwi bowler]

Hi, do you guys always get a lot of rain in your summer?

[Angel]

Seems like it, never used to be so wet, think its global warming, last year at the beginning of the bowling season we had a full month of non stop rain, this year its been about four weeks end of June beginning of July, used to be long hot summers, now its more like winter.havent had a chance to wear any summer clothes yet.:( but sunny at the moment, weather forcast is rain later,:(

[Angel]

The white wellies:( sounds a good idea, got waterproof trousers now, better than the skirt, rain just ran off the ends down into your shoes.:(

[Surfer]

Hi everyone, down in Sunny Cornwall still raining, should think all games are canceled today, not sure how they are going to rearrange, so many games, just listing to the local news, some roads are closed due to flooding, and weather warning and local ferries are canceled, not good, another day watching tele, cant do anything out side, fed up.:(

[kiwi bowler]

Amazing and it's the opposite in Australia, my work has had one of it's suppliers over from Australia and he was telling us all about the drought they have over there.:(

[firer]

Hi Everyone, its really strange Kiwi Bowler, cant imagine, Australia having drought, sure the weather is changing over here in England, its July should be right in the middle of our summer, but we have had nearly a month of rain, and more forecast, :(

[Sam]

Good morning everyone, still a bit of drizzle but not sheeting down like it was all this week, why weather this summer is so unpredictable, July is usually the hottest month of our summer, keeping my fingers crossed for this evening.:D

[Foot Short]

Hi all, it's the first time I've seen this site and not sure if I recognise names from some of the other forums. Got the fours semis tonight but pretty sure I've just seen Noah's Ark float past with the weather up here in Manchester

[Sam]

Welcome Foot Short


Thinking of building a Noah's ark shall need it soon, brightened up this afternoon, lost again, one minuet the suns out the next its raining, groan, one less club comp, to think about, should be playing this evening, clouding over not looking good, think i will emigrate to Australia. Sam:(

[Sam]

Hi Foot Short, good luck with the semis, keep it going, doing well to get this far, shall keep my fingers crossed for you.:D

[kiwi bowler]

Hi and welcome Foot Shorthttp://www.smilecity.co.nz/img/smlWave.gif (javascript:aS(':)*'))

I hope you enjoy your time at this nice friendly forum:grin:

[Angel]

Hi Foot Short nice to welcome a new member,

This is the first site i have been on, guess there could be a few Angels around, but only one of me, hope your bowling is going well, looking for
word to some sun, Angel:D:D and some chat:D

[Angel]

Hi everyone, nearly quarter past nine in the evening, bowled in the two wood pairs this morning in the rain, lost second game with an extra end by one shot, disappointed again, if we had won, would have had to play five games, would be crawling off the green, only consolation is, could have lost on the fifth.sad Angel:(

[Blondie]

Hi Angel
Hate two wood pairs, need another wood, awful lot of game to play, in one day, don't think i could have managed it, mind when the Adrenalin gets going, never mind, always tomorrow:)

[mary]

Hi everyone, thought i would say hello, know what you mean about two woods,Blondie:( i definitely need another wood, not going to enter any more two wood comp, just get hammered,,would rather play in teams.:(

[Surfer]

Morning again, from Sunny Cornwall, its just gone half eight,bit of drizzle, got a lot of holiday makers around this part of the world, sad to see them dragging the kiddies around in the rain.:(Surfer

[Crabie]

Evening everyone, went down to Cornwall a few years back, stayed in Newquay, not bad hotel for the money, but the town at night, was not good, two many stag parties, lots of drunks staggering around, lovely beaches and scenery, but i prefer somewhere quieter, sorry Surfer

[kiwi bowler]

Hi Surfer, just been looking at cornwall on the net and it looks a great place for a tourist to visit. If things go to plan it will be on our list of places to see when we come over in a couple of years.:grin:

[Surfer]

Would love to see you, when you come over, lot of places to visit down here, no where is very far, got the Eden Project, attracts a lot of visitors, Prefer the the beach and sea, scenery is fantastic, look forward to seeing you, put faces to names,Surfer8-)

[Flyfire]

Good evening, weather has at last started to clear, thought i would say hello, been down to Cornwall a few times over the years, had a great time, St Ives is a lovely place very quaint, but think i would not go in the middle of Summer, gets very busy.:rolleyes:

[kiwi bowler]

Yes, it's going to take some working out when we go?
As we have at 10 year old still going to School. The main holiday period here is January which is your winter:confused:, the other holiday periods schools only close for 2weeks and we want to go for a minimum of 4 weeks.

[Surfer]

Hi Kiwi Bowler how long is the flight from New Zealand, not worth coming over for less than four weeks, bit tricky with school holidays, always a problem, the weather here in Cornwall is not too bad in winter a lot less colder than the rest of the country, we very rarely get any snow, but do get frost but not a lot,Surfer:D:Dwill look forward to seeing you.:D

[Foot Short]

Angel, am I right in guessing you're based in Tonbridge from your name?

[Angel]

Hi Foot Short, no but i would like to be from Tonbridge, but I'm from the West Country, Angel:D:D

[Surfer]

Hi everyone, half eight in the morning, another lovely day, got to go shopping this morning not my favorite pastime, went to Porthleven, last week lovely little fishing village, great shame nearly every house is a holiday let, know the Cornish economy need the income, but the local kids cant afford to buy a property, least of all pay the high rents, that are asked, know a lot of local families, where kids are living in caravans, summer houses etc, most of the places are owned by people living in London, the wages in Cornwall are not good, sorry just letting off steam:(:(.

[Jane]

Do sympathies with you Surfer, Cornwall is a beautiful place, but the house prices are a lot higher than other places, and the wages a lot lower, my daughter moved down there with her boyfriend, about a year ago, she is paying £600 a month rent, for a two bed plus bills for heating council tax, they are just surviving, and cant save up enough for a deposit, never mention getting a mortgage, unless we give her some help, they will never get on the housing ladder.:(

Hi Surfer, not sure how long flight will be as we might be having a stop over on the way there and back. Originally we were going to come over when my son finishes High School, but with the way petrol prices are going up:(. We have decided it might be too expensive then, in 5 or 6years.

Hi, is this high for a two bed room, in Manukau City (30 minutes from Auckland City) 2 bedrooms rent for between $280 to $340 a week, plus power and water.
Also just out of interest what would the average house in Cornwall cost for a first home buyer?

[Surfer]

The house prices in England have been falling for a while, the problem is the building societies are not giving out so many mortgages, a starter home in Cornwall is about £190,000 pounds, for a two bedroom terrace the average wage is twenty two k, there is more below average than above, its nearly impossible for a young couple to get on the housing ladder, without help from parents.8-)

[Angel]

Hi Foot Short, wondered where you had gone, Towbridge, Sumerset is it near Bath, used to live Bristol, Bath, way in between at Hanham, Angel.:D:D

[kiwi bowler]

A bit different here, if you can show you can afford the repayments it's quite easly to get a mortgage from a bank. Some banks will lend up to 95% subject to a house valuation.
But the house prices in Auckland are high so new home buyers either have to buy on the out skirts of auckland or an apartment in a big block. Or move out of Auckland altogether.

[Sam]

They used to give you up to three times your wages, but this has stopped now, and mortgages are very difficult to get for first time buyers, house prices are falling in England, and houses are not selling so well, you also need a hefty deposit, not easy for first time buyers,:( Sam

[Sam]

Hi everyone thought i would say hello, just gone ten O'Clock and its pretty dark outside, going to draw the blinds, got a club singles game tomorrow lunch time, had a bit of trouble getting a marker, everyone is so busy, Sam:D

[Angel]

Hi Sam
Know what you mean about getting markers, i end up marking all the time, guess I'm just a soft touch, when i try to get one, everyone seems to be busy, know it a busy time with everyone trying to catch up on games, sorry just having a moan, not long out of bed, going to have another coffee and cheer up:D:DAngel

[Foot Short]

Hi Angel, sorry for the delay, the joys of work! The reason I'd asked is I used to play at a club in Kent called The Angel and it was a random male intuition thing, typically wrong lol!

[Angel]

Hi Foot Short, think you might have got the wrong Angel, never played in Kent, sounds like a good club, hope you don't stop talking, to us, Have you been playing long.Different Angel:D:D

[Angel]

Hi Foot Short, have you ever bowler abroad in any Tournaments, Angel:D:D

[Sam]

Morning everyone,
And yes i won my singles game yesterday, green was dreadful,a real challange, only problem is got to play the best player in the club next, wish me luck,lovely day sun has just started to come out:DSam

[kiwi bowler]

Morning everyone,

Congratulations Sam:grin: and wishing you all the luck in the world for your next game:grin:

[Surfer]

Hi everyone, yes Sam congratulations, don't worry about who you are playing, just do your best, know some people who have lost the game before they go on the green, good luck next game, let us know how you get on.Surfer8-)

[barry]

Good Evening everyone, glad to say the rain has stopped, gone ten in the evening, and getting dark, playing the club singles, tomorrow morning, knock out competition, don't want to be beaten by a woman,nothing worse never hear the end of it, know what i mean chaps, :roll:

[Bigbear]

YEP know just what you mean, i beat him last year, thats all you hear, women have selective memory, only remember what they want to, Bigbear:D

[Sam]

Thats naughty Bigbear, us ladies never remember beating you men, We never forget, can live on it for years, at my club we do an awful lot of Shouting especially if we get one of our girls through to the final, know its only a club comp, but it gets like a world cup final, :D:DSam off to bed now good night everyone.

[Angel]

Hi everyone, just gone half seven Saturday morning, up early, could do with another couple of hours sleep, going to watch the Bowling down the club, but the rain has started, might clear up for later, play a great game from the clubhouse, never short,Angel:D:D

[wrong bias]

good morning,no work today thank goodness,going down to the coast to take pics with my new camera,hope the sun comes out,fed up with all this rain,

[Sam]

Hi Wrong Bias, have a great day, if you get any interesting shots, let us see, sun has just come out, but think we will get rain later, fed up with this weather, where has the summer gone Sam:D

[wrong bias]

[Sam]

Sorry your day didn't go so well, but nice to be outside bet it had some fantastic views, know what you mean about the weather, should be sitting out sunning ourselves, had a thick coat on today, not right in July.:roll:Sam

[kiwi bowler]

Hi Sam, tell me what happened in your single game against the best player in your club?

[Angel]

Good night everyone, going to have an early night, been rushing around too much, shall watch with interest how you get on in your game Sam.:DAngel

[Sam]

Good morning everyone, got a fantastic summer morning, sun is out, and i haven't got anything to do, I have got to arrange my singles game yet, its a play by date,2 Aug, we are just so busy if she is free, I'm not, trying to catch up on rearranged games, all we would need would be another week of rain, keep your fingers crossed, we want SUN, Sam:D

[Silver]

Sun whats that, haven't seen much of it this year, still hoping August will be hot and sunny, have promised myself a good book and sit in the garden.:)

[Angel]

Sun whats that, haven't seen much of it this year, still hoping August will be hot and sunny, have promised myself a good book and sit in the garden.:)

Hi Silver looks like you're going to get your wish, weather forecast is for a sunny week, think i will join you in the garden Angel:D

[Devon Bowler]

Glad someone has got the weather right, keep on wishing silver, right sort of weather for a game.:D

[Surfer]

Keep up the good work Silver, think you could be a fortune teller, then again you might just have caught the weather forecast on the television, Surfer:cool::cool: l

[Sam]

Good morning everyone, its a great day today,

Sun is shining, and i am playing in our ladies league game today.

Can not wait to get on the green, so nice for a change.

Got a great weather forcast for the weekend, Bye Sam:D:D

[Devon Bowler]

Hi Sam have a good game, let us know how it went, got the weather for it,Devon Bowler:D

[Frogett]

Good evening, think our summer has arrived, just getting dark, been a really hot summer day first for the year, playing in a Tournament this week, some very good bowlers, we are still in, have got to play tomorrow.:)

[Sam]

Hi lost by three shots, on our rink, but won overall, two rinks of ladies triples, had a bad game, couldn't get my weight one of those games, Sam:(:(groan.

[Angel]

Good morning everyone, nearly half nine, and a lovely sunny day, got to play a rearranged game this afternoon, its going to be very warm but I'm not complaining, brilliant to be out in this weather, shall sit and watch the men playing this evening, should be good fun Angel,

[Surfer]

Morning here from Sunny Cornwall, Surf was great yesterday, yes i do surf, but not very well, the other half reckons I'm getting too old, guess Ive never grown up, got a league game this evening, hope i haven't gone stale:cool:Surfer

[Flyfire]

Hi Surfer, sounds good, where do you surf in Cornwall.:)

[Surfer]

Morning from rainy Cornwall, hi fly fire, i try to surf at Perranporth, which is on the north coast,
If you don't know it, its a small place, but pretty good for the Surf,
Parking is really bad, just put the main car park up to £3 50, a day, but its three fifty if you stay half an hour or all day, 8-)Surfer

[Blondie]

Good evening everyone, have just gotten back, best sunny day of the year,
Have been watching the men play, two rinks home two away, one rink was down nine twenty six,
Decided the tele would be more fun, so frustrating, Blondie

[Blondie]

Hey Surfer, thats a bit steep if you only want half an hour, is there any other parking around. Blondie:(

[Crabie]

Parking is getting worse,
They are coming and parking the cars for the day, and getting into other cars and going to work,
The people who live here, cant even leave the cars out side their own house, if you say anything, get a load of abuse,:(

[kiwi bowler]

Have you seen the bowls movie "Crackerjack"?

Well any the Auckland Bowling Club makes money by leasing out parking spaces during the day to city workers:grin:

[Surfer]

Yes bril movie, just as good as blackballed,
Think i can place every member of the club in the cast, someone did their homeword,
Really funny, people would not believe some of the things that go on in the bowling world, Surfer

[Angel]

Seen blackballed went to the local Cinema, great could watch it again, think i could write a book, i did the teas on day for the mens, county game all their wearing badges etc, went to put the sugar out, filled up all the pots, on my way out, when someone stopped me, A do you realize you've put salt in them pots, oops it was so close, can you just imagine all the spluttering, someone had got the containers mixed up. not me Angel:D:D

[Crabie]

Glad i haven't had tea at your club, don't fancy salt in my tea, Crabie

[barry]

Have you seen the bowls movie "Crackerjack"?

Well any the Auckland Bowling Club makes money by leasing out parking spaces during the day to city workers:grin:


Wish we had a large enough car park to rent out,

Always been a problem with people blocking others in,

Causes a lot of complaints, about how people park, ;)especially the ladies, Barry

[Sam]

You cheeky devil, us ladies are much better at parking, and a lot more careful ,
Should see how some of you chaps park, think they are the only ones who should be there,
Lovely day again Sam:rolleyes:

[Devon Bowler]

Come on now Sam, some of the ladies take at least two parking places,

Because they cant maneuver the car around, know one elderly lady,

Who passed her test, many years ago, who could not reverse,

Heard she spent ages going round and round in the supermarket car park,

till she found a space she did not have to reverse out of, Devon Bowler:(

[kiwi bowler]

Hi Devon Bowler got to aggree with you as far as parking is concerned by the ladies. I also remember one lady member who forgot to open the car park gate and just drove straight into it.

[Blondie]

Oh thats naughty Kiwi Bowler, too hot a subject to be discussing, when the weather is so warm,
Started to rain, and looks like thunder storms, not talking about the parking,
Know one chap who lost a game badly, drove off and forgot to take the wife with him, was he in trouble, had to come all the way back, Not joking about this. Blondie:roll::roll:

[Odd Della Robbia]

How many of you have been to Argyll (Scotland)?

[Brian]

[quote=Odd Della Robbia;2086]How many of you have been to Argyll (Scotland)

Hi Della is it all right to call you this, or would you like the full title,

Never been to Argyll, but had a great week in Edinburgh, loved every minuet,

People were so friendly, thinking of going back sometime, for another holiday,

What is the weather like in your part of the world, Brian:D

[kiwi bowler]

Hi Della and welcome to the forum:grin:

Strange, have been to Ireland, and Wales, shall have to take the time, to visit,
Have been told the scenery is stunning, :)

[Surfer]

Good Morning from Sunny Cornwall, well sort of, bit of both at the moment,
Welcome Della, good to have someone new, been to Scotland, but that was some years ago,
Never been to Argill, is it a large place, tried to look it up on the net,
But will need more time, just off out, Surfer:cool:

[Angel]

Hi Everyone just pottering on the computer, is there anyone out there, need cheering up, Angel:(

[Devon Bowler]

Evening Angel, yes you've got company, this weather is getting everyone down,
Bound to get some summer weather soon,
Take yourself off round the sales tomorrow, should cheer yourself up, Devon Bowler;)

[Surfer]

Hi Angel, sorry i missed you last night,
Been a bit busy lately, go spend some money girl,cheer yourself up,
The other half is an expert, tells me there are a lot of sales on at the moment, and some good bargains,
She never shows me what she bought, things just appear, Oh Ive had this for ages, not sure who shes trying to kid, me or herself,Surfer:cool:

[kiwi bowler]

Hi Angelhttp://www.julianhainesbowls.co.uk/forum/images/avatars/7963.gif

Hi Angelhttp://www.julianhainesbowls.co.uk/forum/images/avatars/7963.gifThanks for that Kiwi Bowler, was feeling a bit down last night, sort of cheered up, went shopping today, not really a shopper, but did get a few bits in the sales, game canceled tonight, green water logged, rearranged for tomorrow night, dying to try the new shoes out, in a proper game, Angel:D

[Surfer]

Hi,
Thanks, what great photos from around the world, shows that bowling is universal and some truly magic scenery in the world that we live.

Just been away for a few days on holiday staying at St Ives in Cornwall England, photo below!

E T :wink:hope you dont mind,the water is running to the left of pic:)

[wrong bias]

hope you dont mind,the water is running to the left of pic:)like how the pic gives the impression of the sea running up close to the road

[Surfer]

Great picture, thats down in my part of the world, been there a good few times,
Going to lunch at the pandoora near mylor, will take the camera, see if i can get a few pictures, really busy at this time of the year,:cool:Surfer.

[Devon Bowler]

Hi everyone, love the picture E T keep forgetting to take the camera,

Think i must be getting a little forgetful, keep leaving things everywhere, .

Just as well i put my name in things, bit like being back in school,:)

[Surfer]

Good morning from a wet and miserable Cornwall,

Never mind Devon bowler, join the rest of us, keep going up stairs,

Then cant remember what i went up for, think they call it age,Surfer:cool:

[Surfer]

Went for lunch yesterday, to the Pandora at Mylor, bit of a disappointment,

Looked good, and nice tables outside with wonderful views,

Think thats what you were paying for,

Couldn't get a steak, only did them in the evening, had checked on their website, and yes it said steak,

Took some really good pictures will put them on when i get a bit of time,

But ended up going to the local for some food, menu bit too fancy, at Mylor, Surfer8-)

[Devon Bowler]

Hi Surfer, some of the prices, you pay at these fancy restaurants, are ridiculous,

Its just the same food, done up in fancy sauces,

Any where you get boats, you can treble the price of a meal,

I always look for a busy pub, bound to get a decent meal, Devon Bowler :)

[Angel]

Hi everyone, half nine in the evening, and getting dark, weather hasn't been too bad today, got my last league game tomorrow afternoon, and the bowling is slowing down a bit, looking forward to some sun Angel:D

[Surfer]

Hi took these pictures on Sunday at Mylor, in Sunny Cornwall,

Didn't get a good lunch, but the harbor looks good,

Wouldn't mind owning one of these boats, or the cash,

Surfer:cool:

[Surfer]

Forgot this one folks, Surfer8-)

[kiwi bowler]

Some very nice pictures, it's just like being on holiday but with someone else taking the pictures:grin:

[wrong bias]

nice cloud there,we get cloud aaallllll summer up here interspersed with rain,,hows your winter going kiwi?not to bad i hope:)

[wrong bias]

good morning to all.been up since dawn,planning my day,fishing and photography for me:),or it could be a tour of the dreaded garden centres:(
pic of the weather in the valley where i live ,,excuse the wires

[Surfer]

Hi Wrong Bias, not the dreaded garden center, get the same problem,
Only its clothes, hate :confused:hate standing around in stores,
Sure someone is going to think I'm a store detective,
Why does it take so long for a woman to make a decision,:cool:Surfer

[wrong bias]

:) it is mind numbing

[Surfer]

Hey Mate, bril views, can see why you wouldn't want to move,
With views like that, shall take the camera out,
And get some of the old mine workings,In Cornwall,
They are the best places to go for a walk, no offense meant,
But the tourists, haven't found them yet, Surfer:cool:

[Surfer]

Is that the view, or the Women,:cool:Surfer
Must get off now or i wont be able to park, bye S

[wrong bias]

both.mate:)

[kiwi bowler]

pic of the weather in the valley where i live ,,excuse the wires
Hi wrong bias, I like the picture very much and the scenery looks far more interesting than ours here, maybe because it's an older country?

[Blondie]

Views, look great, wish i had some like that, Blondie:)

[wrong bias]

why thank you kind bowlers,afraid it was garden time today,not my choice but one has to do as they are told:(first stop Logan Botanical Gardens at Port Logan,some pics,,then stranraer garden centre for coffe and a few plants,of course it started to rain as it always does when im on holiday

grey sky not so good for pics

[Angel]

Love the pictures, wish my garden looked like that, got some monster nettles, as well as weeds, trying to tell myself it one of them, organic natural gardens, that the farmers get grants for to attract wildlife, thinking of applying for a grant,Angel:D :D

[wrong bias]

had all sorts in my garden,.like the birds though;):mad:

[Angel]

Yes must admit love to hear, them in the morning, are you a gardener, think the plants look lovely in the garden center, when i get them home, don't think they like me,Angel:(

[wrong bias]

no
the wife likes to potter about,i only cut the grass,with a scythe:)

[Angel]

Wouldn't like to see you with a scythe, bet you take all the roses and bushes down to the stalks, Angel:D:D

[wrong bias]

the grim reaper8-):)

[Sam]

Just came on line, got this vision of you with a black cape with a scythe, and a kilt, shan't sleep tonight, Sam:D:D

[wrong bias]

neither will i:grin:

[Surfer]

Morning everyone, from an overcast Cornwall, hasn't started to rain yet,
but i expect it will soon,
Went up to see the surfing comp yesterday,
Only way to describe it was manic, if you didn't get there early, you wouldn't have stood a chance of parking,
Know I'm getting old, watched the kids on the beach,
They were wearing bikinis in the rain, didn't take my waterproof off all day,
Had a great day, but glad to get back home, Surfer:cool:

Still raining, has done all day, supposed to be playing tomorrow,

Bound to be canceled,:(

[Angel]

Evening everyone, just gone nine O'Clock, got a two wood competition tomorrow, quarter final, being picked up half eight, hope i wake up in time,
Bit of a sleep walker, if i have anything on my mind, Shall be playing in my sleep, Angel:D

[Blondie]

Good luck Angel with the two woods competition, have you always had a problem, with sleep walking, Blondie.

[Angel]

Hi Blondie, yes Ive always had a problem, don't remember anything, know when i wake up, it happens when i am stressed, had visitors for the weekend, got up in the night went round and collected all their clothes, woke up the next morning, with a room full of strange clothes, not funny, had a couple of wines before bed, Angel:(

[wrong bias]

is there anything you can do about sleep walking,you could hurt yourself,

[wrong bias]

morning to all good bowlers ,and not so good bowlers(my level) its still chucking it down up here in depressing ayrshire,not doing much today as i cant move my shoulder,must have been sleeping on my head last night,intended to get a bit of practice in today using a size lower to try and iron out my delivery problem,but not going in the rain,plus i could not throw a tennis ball never mind a bowl:(

[Devon Bowler]

Good morning everyone, not a bad day, no rain yet,
Sorry to hear about the shoulder, Wrong Bias, have you been to the doc yet,
Went clay pigeon shooting a couple of years back, done the shoulder in,
Think it was holding the gun up, didn't have any kickback,
Couldn't bowl for a good three weeks, doc told me it takes time no treatment, only painkillers,:(

[wrong bias]

no doc,dont think he could do much,just painkillers for me,,used to clay shoot years ago,and always ,well maybe not always with a hangover,not nice

[Surfer]

Hi Wrong Bias, bet you enjoyed your evening, hate the next morning, hope the sholder is better soon Surfer:cool:

[Surfer]

Went up to Newquay, could not face trying to park, took a few pics of Tranance Bowling Club, its right beside the Zoo,Surfer:cool:

[Surfer]

Sorry about this folks, forgot a few, put it down to age,
Could be the fact we had real sunshine today, got a bit sunburned, I Dont Believe it Sunshine,Surfer8-)

[Bigbear]

Great pictures, best weather Ive seen in a long while,Bigbear:D

[Sam]

Hey Surfer, can you send us some of your sun, forgotten what it looks like, love the Pictures, Sam:D

[Crabie]

Morning Everyone, Hi Surfer,

Love the pictures, nice one of inside the Bowling Club,

Is this your Club Crabie:)

[Devon Bowler]

Hi Everyone, Sorry to hear about the shoulder Wrong Bias,

Might be you've been in an awkward position , when you were asleep,

Woke up one morning, couldn't turn my neck, never had anything like it,

Don't realize how much you move until it hurts,

Took at least three days, still not sure why it happened, Devon Bowler :)

[Devon Bowler]

Bet its busy up your part of the World Surfer,

See they've got the big surfing competition on, in Newquay,

Is the Newquay Bowling Club, near the beach,

Pictures are very good Devon Bowler:)

[Surfer]

Good morning, from a very wet Cornwall, not the best holiday weather around,
Trenance Bowling club is about fifteen min walk from the beach, through the town,
It is right beside the Zoo, with the indoor and outdoor tennis courts next door, lovely to see the kids summer and winter out playing,
Unfortunately it is not my club,
They have a great tournament each year, and get people from all over England taking part, Surfer8-)

[peter]

Good Morning, everyone, Weather is very bad, another day of doing things indoors,
This is the most depressing summer ever, Peter:(

[wrong bias]

well torrential rain has stopped up here,and i agree with peter,its depressing cos i,m not away fishing up the western highlands,for the first time in years,,,,,

[Wet Gear]

Thats a great picture, Wrong Bias, rained all day, when is this weather going to change, starting to get bad tempered,:(

[Wet Gear]

Think i might give the fishing a try, stuck in doors,
Ever body and everything, is starting to get on my nerves,
Could do with an hour or two, on my own, peace:D

[wrong bias]

drives you insane stuck inside,and everybody gets on each others nerves:(

[Angel]

The picture is really good, should have played selected ladies pairs, one O'Clock start, no phone call, arrived down in the pouring rain,
the powers that be, decided we should all arrive so as they could make the draw, no way we could play green waterlogged, another wasted day, Angel:(

[Angel]

Starting to talk to myself, its when i answer, know Ive got a problem, getting really boring started to watch the free DVDs from the mail.
Middlemarch, etc,:)Angel

[wrong bias]

there is a bowls match just finished,across the street at my club i can hear the applauding from ny pc it was delayed this morning due to the rain ,,,getting dark now,,,

[Angel]

Greens are waterlogged here, went to town, after canceled game, had a look at the sales,
Must be getting desperate, bought a top, waiting to go over the crossing,
and the heavens opened, thought the bag was waterproof, ended up with just the handle, dye had run all through, the new top,
Absolutely soaked, spent half an hour when i got home trying to get the dye out, Not the best of days:(Angel

[wrong bias]

G&T for you angel feet up and relax8-):)

[Angel]

Managed to wiggle out of some very wet jeans, and am now having my second, gin and tonic, going to make this my last, wont be able to work the disk thing, and miss the next of Middlemarch, getting sad Angel:)

[Angel]

Must have had to many G and T,just realized what you meant, got the feet up anyway, tomorrow has got to be better, Angel:D

[wrong bias]

no drink for me tonight ,driving tomorrow,will have a few becks tomorrow night hopefully,,:)

[Devon Bowler]

Evening everyone, sounds like a quite,night for you Wrong Bias, and an early night, are you working tomorrow,
Think Angel is a bit down, and needs cheering up,
Great if the weather clears up. keeping my fingers crossed Devon Bowler:)

[Devon Bowler]

Didn't reconsigns World Bowler, think admin has been tinkering, not bad needs, a few minuets to work your way around,:rolleyes:

[Angel]

Hi Wrong Bias, have you had the becks yet, would think you were on the wrong site, Angel,

[Angel]

That is brilliant, tell her well done, quite an achievement, photos look really good, have a few drinks to celebrate, love it when someone i know wins, Even if it on the net, Know the feeling a win has, epically over someone who thinks they are the cats whiskers, you must be really proud, not too many becks mind Angel:D:D

[Angel]

Hey Wrong Bias, she could be beating you soon, watch out for the club singles competitions, Angel:D:D

[wrong bias]

forgot to say the pic with her with the pint in her hand ,is taken along with her brother who is president of the club,hes a bit down in the mouth cos he didnt win,which is not like him:) onto my third becks now

[wrong bias]

we are in different clubs angel...:p:confused:

[Angel]

Reckon the third Becks feels good, though the picture was of you, quite a handsome chap, know a few men who hate to play the wife, like world war three, love cheering the girls on, :D:D Angel

[wrong bias]

might be in the same one next year though:)

[Angel]

Good idea, usually someone doesn't like you, and will do anything to make you move, seen it happen, best way is go back, annoys them no end, Angel:D:D

[wrong bias]

if i dont get my delivery sorted angel i,ll not be in any bowls club,i will need to get my finger out and start playing,,,,,;)

[Devon Bowler]

Hi Wrong Bias, pictures are great, glad to see somebody is winning,

Haven't done anything this year, sure some years are better that others,

You are going through a bad patch, Know i am, have been beaten,

In every competition this year,

Only got the club tournament left, Devon Bowler:(

[Devon Bowler]

Good Morning everyone, its seven O'Clock here, and looking very overcast,

But no rain, keeping my fingers crossed, have so many games, to catch up on
Getting to the end of the league games, don't know why they cant spread them out a bit Devon Bowler:rolleyes:

[wrong bias]

took the pics off,wifes a bit shy,:):) if you go shopping with the wife keep looking at very expensive cameras,and tell her you want one,she will not take you shopping again:)

[Angel]

Hi Wrong Bias, did the right thing, i would be mad if someone put a picture of me on the net, us ladies have ways of making you men suffer, hide the becks in the fridge,:D:DAngel

[Surfer]

Afternoon everyone, had a busy morning, rain has started again, should be playing tonight, not looking promising, will have to wait and see, Surfer:cool:

[Angel]

Morning everyone, still raining, going to get the wellingtons out, and paddle out side, might put my bathing costume on, and pretend the sun is out, would probably get frost bite, Angel:D

[kiwi bowler]

Amazing this is your summer, yet you are getting all the rain also:confused:

[wrong bias]

suns just come out,not a good morning though just been cited for jury duty next week,suppose its better than work

[wrong bias]

Morning everyone, still raining, going to get the wellingtons out, and paddle out side, might put my bathing costume on, and pretend the sun is out, would probably get frost bite, Angel:Dphotos please angel:)

[Surfer]

Wouldent mind seeing some pics Angel, got a great imagination , can lend you some flippers and snorkle, Surfer:D8-)

[Silver]

suns just come out,not a good morning though just been cited for jury duty next week,suppose its better than work

Not sure i like the sound of that, could be a murder trial,

You will be sworn to secrecy, no way of getting out of these,

Still will be different for a few days, and no work Silver

[Angel]

Will get the camera out , see what i can do, think they forecast sun tomorrow, had enough rain, went down today two rinks closed, because of damage, two others underwater, another game canceled this evening Angel:(

[Angel]

Night everyone, got an early start tomorrow, doing teas half eight in the morning, for the ladies game, thats if it doesn't rain, Angel

[Devon Bowler]

Will get the camera out , see what i can do, think they forecast sun tomorrow, had enough rain, went down today two rinks closed, because of damage, two others underwater, another game canceled this evening Angel:(


Morning everyone, shall keep a look out for the pictures,
Thinking of taking snorkeling lessons, to find veg in the garden,
Sure the slugs got there first, Devon Bowler:(

[wrong bias]

not a good day torrential rain,all pics taken from my house,this happened in an hour

[Sam]

Oh my God, hope you are all right, thought our weather was bad, but thats something else,
Looks like a lot of damage was done, have never seen anything like this,
Must have been some downpour, to cause so much damage,
Really frightening,Sam:(:(:(

[wrong bias]

every body is ok,this happened exactly a year ago and ist happened again,its the result of a small stream running down the hill it goes under the main road and into the river well the tunnel got blocked with debri and this is the result,bowling clu across the road is playable to:rolleyes:

[Devon Bowler]

Just logged on, couldn't believe the pics,

Must be a bit of a shock for it to happen again, you would think some sort,of measures could have been taken,

Did you have any damage done, wouldn't want to be the owner of the cars, Devon Bowler

[wrong bias]

my car is ok,the local council say they have done things to help,obviously not enough,one of the residents just moved in three weeks ago when his house got flooded last time,he will be moved back out today as his house was flooded out,it cost £135,000 to repair pics of his hhouse below ,breaking wall down to release water

[Angel]

Wow, thats some rain, must have been terrifying, hard to imagine, what it feels like when something like this happens, the pictures are awesome, would take a lot of getting over, and clearing up, real sorry Angel:(

[wrong bias]

hi angel,hi light of my holiday eh?:)thats the services just finished cleaning the rubble and sweeping the roads,only thing is the drains are stillfull of sand,im for a becks , started raining again:(

[Angel]

Not a good holiday, lot of clearing up to do, thought the wife had hidden your becks, or have they been washed away, cheer up can only get better,Angel:D:D

[Surfer]

Don't know what to say, some mess, pictures are real action shots,

Bit of a miracle the green is still playable, anything in the way of the water, would get washed away,

Got to be a few insurance claims, the cars will be right offs got the odd wet suit you could borrow Surfer:cool:

[Oldie]

Hi Wrong Bias,

Such great 'Photo's', strange old world have been staying with relatives in O.Z. & part of the outback they have invested in wine growing over the years, now it's blistering heat and NO RAIN, a really big problem for everyone.

When you have finished with all that water send it 'Down Under'.
Do love the photos shows with your bowling green a short way away what
diferences you have to play on.

Great to be home,

Oldie, (hope the photo comes out)

[wrong bias]

hi oldie see what you mean about drought,wish i could send some of the h2o down your way,,:)

[Sam]

:(Morning everyone, one extreme to the other, think i prefer the water, at least you can drink that,
Our weather has definitely changed, this last two summers have been dreadful, never sure what will happen next, could get tornado's in the winter,:(Sam

[Sam]

Hi Oldie love the picture, hope you had a good holiday, wish i could have gone with you, could do with some sun, Sam:D:D

[kiwi bowler]

Hi wrong bias, thanks for the pictures it shows what seems to be happening everywhere in the world. Last year we got stuck up in the far north of NZ, because of floods and slips and we also ended up with no power.

[wrong bias]

[Surfer]

Pictures are amazing, think i need more practice with the camera, getting the hang of downloading , took a while, Surfer:D

Hi Wrong Bias, up early this morning, still a bid down after yesterday, lost a bit of confidence, did have a drink think my opponent felt sorry for me, We are playing top club one thirty, got to do the four wood singles, not looking foreword to it, shall do my best,
Am going to take more notice what sort of camera i use, have got one that i download into picture package, which is very easy just plug it in,
Not really good with a camera, have only realized it got a switch that zooms in and out, a while back, if i took a bit more notice it could be a nice hobby, wish me luck will take the camera today, and get some practice, should be off the green pretty quick if yesterday is anything to go by, Angel :roll:

[Angel]

I'm boring myself now:)managed to make the bbc news website, scotland section,clearing up after floods,,,,,morning everyone is it going to rain today,,,,again?:)

[Angel]

Thanks Wrong Bias, can only try, going to be heavy, got to remember to swing the arm,
Only got one girl in the club talks a bit jolly hockey sticks, but shes really nice, took a while before the girls realized it, Angel:D

[wrong bias]

off fishing,hope im better at that,than bowls at the moment:)

[Devon Bowler]

Good luck with your game Angel, cant do any more that try,
Singles are always difficult, would rather be in a team, can hide my bad bowling, and blame everyone else Devon Bowler;)

[Angel]

Well guess what, got my wish, game canceled, rearranged first Sept, green waterlogged, all that worrying for nothing, that teach me, nice day in front of the tele Angel

[wrong bias]

[Surfer]

Evening everyone, bril pictures, love the views, thinking of trying a bit of fishing myself, looks real peaceful, Surfer:cool:

[wrong bias]

cheers surfer,would have been nicer if the sun had come out

[Sam]

:rolleyes:Love the views, can see why people take up fishing, can imaging myself, sitting there,relaxing,
Think i would be allright untill i caught something,might panic a bit,
Used to seeing fish in the supermarket, Sam:rolleyes:

[wrong bias]

a bit chilly today sam:)

[kiwi bowler]

Hi wrong bias, nice to see the fishing pictures. I just love the sea, by the way what type of fish are they?

[wrong bias]

they are called mackeral,they come into our shores in the summer months very easy fish to catch and onlight tackle they give a good scrap,they are a member of the tuna family,they are also good for you with omega 3 oil,one thing if returning mackeral back into the water on no account touch the fish with your hands just shake them off the hook, if you touch them they will die in a couple of days,,,,,,bet you wished you had,nt asked:)

no, I have found your reply very interesting:grin:, our fish that I catch alot of, off the beach or rocks is called Kahawai, but it's a bit bigger than your mackeral - which we only get here tinned.

[Angel]

Morning everyone, love the fishing pictures Wrong Bias, handsome boy, bet your real proud, lovely to see youngsters, with an interesting hobby, never thought about fishing, but have been looking at taking more pictures, starting to look at things and thinking, that would look good,could end up another David Bailey, Angel:D:D
