yoyoyo Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 30 games. How much did you spend on that.It is good fun, but it always takes me a game to get out of the gutter things and back in to the swing of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boon racoon Posted November 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 (edited) 30 games. How much did you spend on that.30 games at normal prices would be £120 :|30 games at student prices (me) would be £60but 10am til 330pm is unlimited bowling for £6 good f**kin job!so we had 25 - 27 games thenthen went back this eve with our other housemate for 3 more at £2 eachwe've been going like 3 or 4 times a week for like the last month and a half :|but today was a new level haha Edited November 23, 2006 by the boon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quick_spider Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 I love bowling, but I don't go that often. I'd like to go, but it's the venue of choice for when people leave/get made redundant at work, so I'll have to make more people leave work Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 After 3 games of bowling my arm is usually killing - dunno how you managed 25+ . Probably doesn't help that we spend the last 5 minutes 'speed bowling' - my top is a measly 22mph. Speed golf.. thats a proper game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus, thats mad, takes me *a lot* of effort to get it up to 22. Have you got one of those wrist support things you see the pro's wearing? If your not careful soon you'll be renting out 2 lanes at once and playing on your own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orgun_Donor Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Yea id say bowling is addictive, but working one is a shit job(worked their for 3 years).Bonus is though, free bowling used to be able to get about 10 or so games in before work, everyday. Then a few games at lunch through college.Great fun, but to expensive. Will never bowl if i had to pay for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
