Our group of girls its a bit like going on a school outing, some girls on principal more that anything, brought some small bottles of wine,
they were charging five pounds a glass at this hotel, it was great fun
Laughed all the way through what is usually a very boring afternoon Sam:D

Hi Wrong Bias sorry I was nattering on a bit got carried away, know what you mean sometimes when I have been busy all I want to do is put my feet up,

Hi Surfer, my parents moved to NZ in I think 1951, stayed 2 - 3 years then went back to England. Then decided they would come back to NZ.
So my oldest brother (born march 1950) and third oldest brother (born june 1954 - same day as wrong bias) were born in England. I was born in Birkenhead, Auckland in 1957 so I am a Kiwi.
My oldest brother is doing our family tree and has found lots lost relations and some interesting facts.
He also went over to England and Ireland earlier this year, to meet some of our relations and try to fill in some missing gaps.

Hi there, it's a bit noisy here tonight being Guy Fawkes night. But we will be doing ours this Saturday evening when our boy gets to stay up later.


We usually go to the display put on by one of the local villages, much safer they usually have a good firework display lots of stalls and hot dog stands etc kids love it costs about two pounds and you meet all the neighbors and Friends end up coming home with a few people for a drink Surfer :cool:

[mary]

Afternoon Everyone

Went down the Village this morning and they were getting the Bonfire ready on the green they had a large lorry full of wooden pallets
Had the posters up all over the place letting us know it was on Wednesday night
Its a really good idea brings everyone together and less dangerous than people letting fireworks off themselves
Should be a good evening lets hope the rain stay away:roll:

[Angel]

http://www.julianhainesbowls.co.uk/forum/images/avatars/7963.gifHi Love Fireworks night so looking forward to going out Cant beat a nice crisp winters night with some friends gathered round a fire
Someone has started to let off fireworks already can hear the bangs, not a good thing if you have any pets should keep them in
Have got to go and get ready now hope everyone has a great time and be careful out there

As they say on Hill Street Blues

[Sam]

Hi Angel I'm going to sit and watch through the window, got some display going on outside sure the kids are enjoying themselves:D

We usually go to the display put on by one of the local villages, much safer they usually have a good firework display lots of stalls and hot dog stands etc kids love it costs about two pounds and you meet all the neighbors and Friends end up coming home with a few people for a drink Surfer :cool:
Hi surfer, that sounds great and yes there are places arround that have displays on, but we like to have our own one too.
When we were living up north in a small community we had a similar affair to yours which was run by our local fire brigade. No cost but each family was expected too take a bag of fireworks and the firemen lid them. There was also a free saugages sizzle with bread etc.

[snapper]

Love the sound of the sausage sizzle there will be a big clear up today
A lot of people will have fireworks and barbecues next weekend but
It was great to see all the kiddies dressed up last night
Am going to have a few people over on Sat night because no one has to get up for work the next day:D

[Angel]

http://www.julianhainesbowls.co.uk/forum/images/avatars/7963.gifGood Evening Everyone had a lovely time last night went down to see the Bonfire and Fireworks display wasn't cold at all think everyone enjoyed themselves group of us went down to the Local and had a drink outside did seem a bit strange sitting outside at tables in the middle of winter, wish I could do it every night :D

[Surfer]

Good Morning from a sunny Cornwall weather is good this morning got a game this afternoon just a league game but good practice for the County and National Competitions
Keep trying year after year hoping to win some time, would be like winning the Lottery if I did Surfer:cool:

[firer]

I'm lucky if I get anyone who wants to enter with me, have been called in at the last moment only because there is nobody left that isn't in a team wonder why i bowl sometimes

[snapper]

Hi Bowlers lovely Weekend its sunny but cold in Cornwall this Morning the weather forecast looks bad sound like we have got some strong winds forecast
Hubby bought a Computer of the net it was a good make he couldn't get the one he wanted so had a reconditioned one with a three month warranty after having it a week one of the keys came off, we phoned the company up for advice and were told they would repair it but we would have to pay the cost of sending it to them, we took it to a shop who said we had to have a complete keyboard costing eighty five pounds,
We are now in dispute with this Company has anyone else had this problem about having to pay to send item back to be repaired:roll:

[Surfer]

Sure if its under Warranty they should pay the postage, but anything is possible the small print is unreadable a lot of the time would need a magnifying glass to make sense of it Surfer:cool:

[Sam]

Hate things like this can cause you no end of trouble, I think its always best to buy new and then you are definitely covered usually for twelve months
Sounds like this Company is trying to pull a fast one worth pursuing fair bit of money to get it fixed :(

[Blondie]

Best way is to buy locally epically a computer, then you can take it back without all the hassle:roll:

[Surfer]

Good Morning from a very wet Cornwall am getting fed up with this weather
Sure if this goes on half of this county will end up in the Sea Bowling this afternoon not looking forward to it
Got some new Bowlers in the team no I sound awful but they seem to be there because its an afternoon out
Keep talking all the time and don't concertrate putting all the other players off their game Frustrating feel like pulling out of this team Surfer:cool:

[wrong bias]

what a day gales and rain and i do ten hour shifts in it,i must be mad,never been so glad to get home:)

[Angel]

Hi Wrong Bias thought you must be busy, ten hour shifts is something else I would only make it as far as the armchair before collapsing, so easy not to eat properly when your tired, you must make sure you have sensible meals lots of veg, don't want to lose the Scottish Humor if you get run down Angel:wink:

By the way Angel I make a very nice Apple Crumble too, so if you are passing by I would make some specially for you:grin:. With custard and icecream:grin:
Been having lots of Strawberries and icecream this week as lots of road stores selling them:grin:

[Angel]

The Apple Crumble was bad enough but Strawberries and Cream thats yummy glad I don't live near you could end up sitting on the pavement out side your house looking very sad and hungry

Well at this time of year with all the xmas parties etc it's very hard to lose any weight. I think the best time to go on a diet is after xmas:grin:

[Surfer]

Right idea Kiwi bad time of year to be struggling trying to get weight off only going to go mad and eat everything in sight over Christmas, will worry about trousers fitting in the New Year going to enjoy myself over the Festive Season Surfer:cool:

[Sam]

Not going to worry about my waistline until after Christmas could be another New Years Resolution coming up:D

[Angel]

Going to have to get stronger wings to keep the weight up after Christmas Angelhttp://www.julianhainesbowls.co.uk/forum/images/avatars/7963.gif

[Angel]

Hi Wrong Bias how are you keeping still doing the long shifts at work watching tele the bill has finished its getting worse used to be good must have changed the script writer Angel

[wrong bias]

yes still working/watching the darts on itv4 at the moment

[Blondie]

I cant watch tele and be on the computer at the same time, hubby has the knack of doing both

Or else he is only pretending every time I go to change over he says I was watching that

Not convinced think he just likes control of the tele:(

[Surfer]

With you on this one Blondie no good putting the television on when I am on the computer
Get nagged all the time have to log of to get any peace Surfer:cool:

[The Duck]

Good Evening Everyone

presents are getting bigger every year don't enjoy all this fuss half the family don't want what you get for them anyway am I turning into an Old

Misery ????

[Sam]

Not going to say a word Duck you could be on the Christmas menu if your not careful

Sorry couldn't help that got a funny sense of humor :D:D

[mary]

Good Evening Everyone

Well I love Christmas its the best time of the year and I look forward to it every year
Marked a game of County singles this morning our girl was eight nil down and came back to win
Went home highly delighted for her she played a brilliant game went right thought one card and onto the next :D:D

[Surfer]

Good Morning form a Sunny Cornwall

Wonderful weather today bright dry and crisp its the sort of weather I love going to have a walk on the beach the dogs are allowed down there in the Winter lovely to see them running the full length of the beach and into the waves Surfer:cool:

[Blondie]

Know its a shame not to let them run around all year, but with so many kiddies and a lot of Dog owners not willing to clear up after their pets its

something that has to be done

Its only a few thoughtless owners of dogs that get these bans put in place:(

[Crabie]

Good Evening Everyone

Marked a game last week some Pratt told this new bowler he only needed to book the rink for one session
Guess what started at ten and we were still there at twelve and the disabled Bowlers arrived ready to go onto the rink
Total fiasco ruined what was a good singles game and our Bowler lost the game
Had a few choice words to say if this Pratt didn't know what he was talking about he should have shut up
ALL Singles games should book two sessions can easily take this long:confused:

[Surfer]

Had this happen to me one year think my opponent knew what he was doing only booked the rink for one session

Think someone told him I would not put up much of a game or he was too mean to fork out the money for the extra session

Ended up playing the game with all the other Bowlers standing on the end of the rink waiting to play Lost the game not sure if it was the extra

pressure of having spectators

Or he could have been using tactics could do with a firm rule on this one Surfer:cool:

[Angel]

http://www.julianhainesbowls.co.uk/forum/images/avatars/7963.gifHad a very good teacher have been told to always book a double session when playing indoors
It takes twice as long to play a singles game and if you get an opponent who keeps walking up to look at the head or slows the game down you are going to need it Angel:D

[Wicker]

( quote Crabbie ) Marked a game last week some Pratt told this new bowler he only needed to book the rink for one session
Guess what, started at ten and we were still there at twelve and the disabled Bowlers arrived ready to go onto the rink
Total fiasco ruined what was a good singles game and our Bowler lost the game
Had a few choice words to say if this Pratt didn't know what he was talking about he should have shut up



If this Chap had lost the game he would have had grounds to complain could say he was harassed into playing a game when enough time had not been booked on the rinks
Not saying he would have But we all can learn a lesson from this:(
