[Surfer]

Ive noticed Wrong Bias hasn't been on for a while was wondering if he had giving up Bowling

Surfer:cool:

[John]

Hi, Think I remember Wrong Bias having computer problems, thats after he moved, do hope he gets back on line, don't think he will have giving up bowling, Surfer.

Mind you, looking at some of the weather in Scotland I would have web feet by now.:wink:

John

[Angel]

Sure Wrong Bias will get back to us, he was having a lot of problems with his computer I know how frustrating this can be
Hate it when mine is on a go slow could cheerfully throw it in the bin


Angel:D:roll:

[wrong bias]

Surfer:cool:put this way ,my fishing is better than my bowling.my local rainbow pond

[snapper]

Love the picture Wrong Bias think thats what I should be doing instead of trying to bowl
Went up and watched the Cornwall ladies Johns team know now why the men win
Only this year it was the Ladies we beat them at last. they try every tactic have a look at this pic:D

[snapper]

What do you reckon Girls if we can beat the men after this display of running, think they should do the London Marathon got more chance of winning that
They do look very determined but the game was played in good spirit and everyone enjoyed themselves

Especially the Ladies Johns Team :D:D:D

Bye From Snapper in Cornwall

[kiwi bowler]

Hi wrong bias, it's good to see you are still about, brilliant picture:grin:

yes I too are planning on doing a lot more fishing this year, now I'm not working. It will be salt water fishing mostly up north, for snapper and kahawai.:grin:

[wrong bias]

tight lines,cant wait for tomorrow going to my favourite lake:)

[Angel]

Hi Wrong bias

So pleased you are alright, and keeping well sounds like you are having fun with the fishing been very busy lately and havent had a lot of time to go on line
Having lovely weather now am looking forward to sitting around in the sun and reading a book when I get some time
Great to hear from you Angel:D:D

[Sam]

Hi Wrong Bias, only got back this evening have been away over the Bank Holiday weekend,the weather was brilliant good to see you are keeping well and into the fishing I haven't got time to breathe am really busy keep getting people phoning me up with dates that I cant possible do
Think I shall go away again to get away from the answering machine

Or give up Bowling Help Sam:roll:

[wrong bias]

hi kiwi,sam and angel,the weather is horrible up here,was fishing and bowling at the weekend and to be honest would have been better staying in the house on both days:(

[Surfer]

Hi Wrong Bias Glad to see you back mate, her indoors has been keeping me busy over the holidays the list gets longer
Did manage a few games the weather down here has been good, but guess what its freezing again its like back to winter
No fun to be outside even the thermals wont keep me warm, better in front of the tele with a beer

Surfer:wink:

[Oldie]

Hi Wrong Bias,

Thanks for your kind comments, just seen your wonderful picture of the fishing lake, it's what life is all about!!

Back bowling and have just managed 21 ends quite an achievement for me.

Pleased with my game, getting line and length, just working on the 'luck'!!!

Take care,

Oldie

[wrong bias]

hi all, sorry not been on for a while,bowling has been put on the back burner as i have been spending quality time with my son as he leaves today for RAF Halton to start his basic training before going to RAF Brize Norton we are just back from a camping ,fishing hillwalking tour of the scottish highlands and had a great time ,he has been my fishing and camping mate since he was eight we never missed a year going away in the tent or caravan, so i am going to miss him,he was even a better bowler than me(would,nt be hard though)so going to get ready to take him to glasgow airport,hope to be posting again,, good to be back neil

[E T]

Hi Wrong Bias.

Truly great to see you back again, have missed your posts the last few summer months although Bowling has been busy for me.

Hope all goes well for you Son in the R A F can understand the concern of any parent/friend but it's a great opportunity as well where in civi street these days opportunities are limited for the young.

Anyway great to see you back

E. T.:D

[wrong bias]

thanks ET,, thats him away. house is very quiet,
i know what you mean about civvie street,hes started a new phase in his life and he,s over the moon passing his entrance tests and he is very fit ,so i cant complain,, nevertheless i feel lost tonight,

hope you all had a good season.:)



maybe bowling next season but i think a change of club might happen;)

[Angel]

So glad you are back on line couldn't believe it when I noticed your post, just had a look at your sons picture what a handsome looking boy, you must be really proud Ive got to say I would be worried about him joining the army but you have got to let them go and, do what they want,
How have you been keeping yourself, it must seem strange being on your own, I did miss the Wrong Bias Scottish sense of humor and the banter,


Angel:D:D extra smile today

.

[wrong bias]

Hi Angel,how are you,well i hope.
he,s a good lad.and I'm sure the RAF will look after him,still a bit of a jolt him being away but i,ll get used to it,when he comes home on leave he will probably have an english accent,he can make up for that by taking me fishing then going to a good restaurant for dinner,:)
good to be back, missed you all.

[Surfer]

Often wondered how things were going with you Wrong Bias and thought you might have moved away somewhere new,
Its good your lad has joined the RAF he should get good training which will give him a trade for later in life,
Got to go now only noticed the time am going to watch the Mix Triples Finals at Camborne,


Surfer from a Windy and Overcast Cornwall:cool:

[wrong bias]

thanks surfer:),hope to move next year ,back to my home town,,maybe join a new club,if its any consolation it has,nt stopped raining here for 4 weeks,:(

[snapper]

Hi Wrong Bias

Know what you mean about the rain it hasn't stopped down here for weeks can understand what you mean its so quiet when they finally leave the nest, the only thing I can say is they alway come back and usually with a mate,
Wouldn't hurt to think of moving back near family and friends wish I could

Evening Everyone

This must be the only Saturday it hasn't rained this so called Summer my wife has been nagging me all year about the time I spend Bowling and

not doing what need doing around the house and garden, So I finally started to paint the house, and guess what happens

It rains words fail me the weather forcast on the television said a dry day,

Thinking of suing someone

[Surfer]

Wouldn't do you any harm to have a fresh start, now that your lad is away you can please yourself, sometimes old friends are the best epically if you have know them a long time,
Might have to sell some of your sets of Bowls bit heavy to transport did you ever sell the tiger11,


Surfer from a Windy Cold Cornwall have just put the heating on,

nope,there still in the box in the depths of a pile of fishing and camping gear,never to see the light of day again

[Angel]

Your up early again Wrong Bias still doing the same job, don't envy your early starts,
Back to your Tiger Twos, noticed they are getting popular with Bowlers who lead, one of our girls has a set and she is in both the Club Singles Finals,
Might be worth your while getting them out and trading them in or Selling them,
Something to think about

Angel:rolleyes:

Angel:rolleyes:still in the same job angel,:(as for the tigers i,ll just keep them as a collectors item as there is no way i,ll get near what i paid for them

[Barbie]

Done the same thing myself Wrong Bias got a couple of sets of Bowls tucked at the bottom of the wardrobe, paid a fair bit for them and just couldn't get on with them,
But you get very little for them if they are second hand,

Never know going to give indoors a try they might come in handy yet.

[Angel]

Have decided I'm going to bury my Bowls at the Bottom of the garden and take up knitting or line dancing,

Might be more enjoyable :(

Angel:(

[wrong bias]

i have started modelling(no not that type of modelling)aircraft modelling,thing is its more expensive than bowling

[Sam]

Gave my heart a bit of a flutter then, had all sorts of thought of you modeling perhaps even in the noddy for some Lady's Art Class, glad you explained,

Its always good to have some sort of hobby with the winter night drawing in, but I know what you mean about things being expensive, started

making greeting cards Birthday etc, and got quite carried away by the time I had finished I had spent no amount of money, they looked really

good and I did enjoy doing them, had a reality check in town one day went into a card shop they were charging something like sixty pence per card,

Haven't done anymore since still got a hundred or so cards hanging about will have to live a good few years to use them up.

Sam short for Samantha

[mary]

I dont think I would go there sam cant see Wrong Bias sitting somewhere with no clothes on bit cold for that in Scotland, sure i wont sleep tonight with that thought in my head,

:p:p

[wrong bias]

i got sunburnt on saturday,26 degrees at the raf airshow,what a day:)the old vulcan bomber brings back memories:cool:

[snapper]

Great Picture Wrong Bias,

Have been wondering if you were in the Armed Forces or RAF, noticed your son had joined sometimes they follow in dads footsteps,
You must be very proud,
,
Having a cup of coffee now and then off food shopping not something I look forward too

[wrong bias]

was in the sas,special armchair service:wink:,
never made it to the raf,got an engineering apprenticeship before i signed up

[Frankie]

Hi Wrong Bias,

Great sense of humor wrong bias, never heared that before, might use it down at the club!!!!

Did you sign up in the Army then, not clear from your post!!!?

I did 9 years in the Army (REME) rough engineering made easy, was a vehicle mechanic the usual Land rovers personnel carriers etc. Fully qualified with a big Hammer & a tube of aerodite!!

Off to Blackpool with the Misses for a few days

[Surfer]

Something I always wanted to do be in the Armed Forces, but some things never turn out how you think they will,
Lovely day down here in Cornwall but overcast the Holiday makers are still here think its the last bit of Sunshine and then they will all dissapear until Christmas,
Lovely to have the beach to myself and a few brave locals know the dog is glad to be able to run,
Looking forward to playing in a warm indoor green .


Surfer:cool:

[wrong bias]

weathers terrible up here,windy and rain ,:(

[snapper]

Not that much different down here Wrong Bias, I still havent decided if I am going to play Indoors or short mat, costs a lot to travel in Cornwall and the short mat, can be just as much fun,
Going to have to give it some serious thought.

Snapper lets hope the weather gets better still raining today,

[Del]

Hi Snapper,

Can be an issue no matter where you live, the cost of things including travel!!!

Have found many of my friends who play short mat don't spend a fraction on what it costs me to play indoors!!!

I can't get on with short mat, keep hitting that piece of wood!!!

[Surfer]

Evening Everyone, been away for a few days down to Devon the weather has been the best this Summer really hot,
Went up to Ilfacombe and took this picture they were fishing off the pier thought about Wrong Bias, hope you like it.


Surfer:D

[wrong bias]

now that looks a good spot ,very clean as well no litter too

[Surfer]

Evening Bowlers

Yes Wrong Bias the picture was taken off Ilfacombe pier down in Devon the anglers looked like they were enjoying themselves,

Her Indoors insisted we went on a Boat trip on the Ilfacombe Princess a small boat which took about one hundred passengers,

Spent an hour and a half looking for Sammy the Seal all you could hear was this guy on the loudspeaker saying Oh there he is can just see his

head no Sorry he has gone again, had all these poor holidaymakers looking round these caves and rocks in search of this elusive creature,

After an hour I would have gladly paid him a tenner to shut up or else produce a stuffed seal,

Got to laugh I was one of the poor twits who paid sure the only Seal anyone ever saw was in the Shops,


Surfer

[Bigbear]

Hi Surfer should have gone to Queek Seal Center got a good few down there, believe its not far from you

Bigbear:rolleyes:

[Sam]

Morning Bowlers

Haven't been on for a few weeks managed to get away for the much needed break after this Summer Mad Bowling,
Not that there has been much sunshine, got to get up and start practicing before our League games start,
Lucky we have a card that lets us use the Club when we want so going up late of an evening isn't a problem.


Sam short for Samantha:D

[Blondie]

good morning everyone

Just saying hi am off this morning to try bowling on a outdoor artifical rink,
And its started to rain I must be mad not sure if I am looking forward to this, will let you know how I get on, they are trying to talk me into joining for the winter,

Wish me luck Blondie:(

[Del]

Hi Blondie,

Have tried playing the artificial during the English winter, Cold is one word that comes to mind.

If you are near an indoor I would not hesitate, can't get on with short mat & I recon that indoor helps me outdoor when the greens are realy swinging!!!

Outdoor in the winter my hands just can't grip the woods thats when it's dry!!

best of luck

[wrong bias]

its a lovely morning,bit nippy,sons home on leave and just cooked a massive breakfast,life is good:grin::grin::grin:

[Surfer]

Morning Wrongbias

Must be nice to have your lad home again, never see much of mine he is always off doing something,
Its a really nice day here even got a bit of sun, her indoors has been nagging and I am going out to sort the garden out.
Not my favourtite pastime but it stopes her going on when I am going Bowling,
Be good for you to catch up on what he has been doing, always a worry when they go away for the first time.

Got to go now all the Best


Surfer from Cornwall:cool:

[wrong bias]

ah well,just back from airport,dropping my lad off to return to his airbase,had a great time .will see him in two weeks when i venture down to sunny england for his graduation parade ,cant wait:grin::grin:

[snapper]

Hi Wrongbias

Doesent seem that long ago that you told us your boy was signing up, and now look at how well he is doing, its lovely to see them getting on its the best thing he could have done, especially with the way the jobs are at present, lot of my friends children are hanging around not knowing what to do,
Sure you will have a lovely day

Wish him luck Snapper from Cornwall:D

Wish him luck Snapper from Cornwall:Dthanks snapper he,s made me very proud and happy,and it a shame for today,s young uns,in fact its a crime that there is no work for them

[Surfer]

Know what you mean Wrong Bias, its not getting any better on the job front down here, any jobs that are going are for minimum wage with dreadful hours,
Our youngsters cant afford to buy houses, while most of the village sits empty with second homes, can see trouble brewing in the future,
Feel sorry for Youngsters starting out today,


Surfer from a Wet and Windy Cornwall

[Frankie]

Hi All,

The forces always have and do provide solid employment unfortunately these days there are so few worthwhile jobs.

All that is built these days are supermarkets etc, I do have a great worry haw our grandchildren will be able to afford to shop in supermarkets as no investment for future jobs.

A lot of youngsters are coming into bowls around our way despite the great obstacles of 'child protection etc', many are also leaving bowling when education/girls come along but no doubt they will return in the future!! (there be no jobs to go to).

[Barbie]

HI Friends

Thanks for your support am still in mad wife mode, but girls if like me you a rat as a so called Hubby, I now have a big smile on my face, I have found someone new and younger guess what folks OLD Rat Face wants me back says he cant live without me, looks like the new love of his life has a temper:p
Could be the joint bank account or having to pay out rent for a so called love nest,

This is the best thing that has ever happened to me, :D I should have left years ago


A Very Happy Barbie:D

[Surfer]

Good to know you are all right Barbie, am so pleased you are keeping well and getting on with your life,
Got to remember all men are not like this but you do need to be careful as my Old Mum used to say, not to jump out of the frying pan into the fire,

Always take time to get to know someone,

Good luck Barbie keep in touch,


Surfer from a wet and misty Cornwall:cool:

Its always a good idea to talk to friends when you are having problems personal or otherwise,
Take your time getting to know people, and then make decisions have had a very good friend of mine who got herself into a bad situation
Always pays to be cautious,

Morning Bowlers:D

Do hope things become more settled in this world of ours, :)
