i am still the only person i know who's done two negative strikes in a row.

― The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 27 February 2006 14:27 (twenty years ago)

negative strikes? i believe the technical term is GUTTERBALLS.

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Monday, 27 February 2006 14:36 (twenty years ago)

you hit two strikes for your opponent by throwing the ball to the other lane and hitting all 10 pins?

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 27 February 2006 15:18 (twenty years ago)

I fancy this too, I think, if we are definitely talking Rowans Finsbury Park.

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 27 February 2006 18:39 (twenty years ago)

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Monday, 27 February 2006 18:55 (twenty years ago)

(but then phoning ahead is your department!!!!)

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 00:26 (twenty years ago)

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 13:38 (twenty years ago)

I can do that.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 19:38 (twenty years ago)

I'm theoretically on for this, but my plans rely on unreliable friends, so I can't commit to it.

My internet at home died last night, and since I have been given a cast-iron guarantee by BT that it will be all better within 48 hours I confiently expect to still be offline into next week. I may have to text or phone someone to check on what is happening on Saturday.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 2 March 2006 12:51 (twenty years ago)

I might come.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 2 March 2006 15:06 (twenty years ago)

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 3 March 2006 00:51 (twenty years ago)

stupid..really

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 3 March 2006 00:51 (twenty years ago)

Is the Bloomsbury Bowling the one in Bloomsbury Square under the old Liverpool Assurance building or is that another one?

― Ed (dali), Friday, 3 March 2006 10:14 (twenty years ago)

Bloomsbury Bowling's under the Tavistock Hotel on Tavistock Sq. There is also POSH Bloomsbury Bowling but I can't remember where that is (or find the link).

― robster (robster), Friday, 3 March 2006 10:21 (twenty years ago)

the one mentioned here is underneath the tavistock hotel i think

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 3 March 2006 10:22 (twenty years ago)

One in Bloomsbury Sq, posh (All Star Lanes).

One in Tavistock Sq, under hotel, less posh (but lanes are too short and a bit noisy and the pins don't always reset properly).

That looks classy. We should give it a try when feeling flush.

― Ed (dali), Friday, 3 March 2006 10:44 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I have your number, Ken - I'll call in the morning.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 3 March 2006 13:31 (twenty years ago)

Ed, it had a glossy launch so your sis has probably already been.

― suzy (suzy), Friday, 3 March 2006 14:01 (twenty years ago)

Sorry to miss this - and not just the bowling: I didn't get out for my South London social event last night either. One of those bad days.
