I'll probably be shite too, since it's been years since I played anything like regularly, and besides, I have ripped the complete fingernail from one of my fingers, so I'll be watching that == shite bowling.

But still enormous fun!

You can add me to the list of those who have never done any bowling. I don't mind having a go at it though.

we went in the daylight, far safer!!

bowling is on and the "fun" park is open but all the outside rides seem to be shut. its no weather for fun fairs anyway. good news is they have a pub :D

theres a massive empty car park round the back of the travellodge that we can meet in initially and then head to one of the little scenic car parks round the edge of the water.
that is if me and VDG aint banned for screamin round the car park with me hangin out of his boot trying to locate the rattle from the back of his turbo :lol:

will i put you down for the meet strangegame? your only half an hour away?? :D

Well it's good to know it's there. I may take the chance to pick up an oil filter. It would be good to have a photo if everyone does turn up there :)

It would look really good to have a picture of our cars lined up outside the dealer, murf, VDG do you think your dealer would let us do that? Might be worth a try.
