Great news and well deserved Tenpin Bathurst! Jason Doust for B squad please! (What more need I say..?)

Try "Sybervision" - there's some exerpts here... Not textbook styles, but hey, who am I to argue with Petraglia and Holman? Besides, I've never seen the textbook make the TV show...

Hi Chris, As discussed, sadly I can't make this one. (Have to work in Canberra on the following Monday.) But here's the recipe for the banana pancakes... (Probably multiply all quantities by 6 for about 20 people after a daybreaker with bacon and eggs based on last time around, but this will...

That will be the Masters. Says it in the release. I like how they go from Austria to Australia. Reminiscent of so many jokes about how Americans think they're so close to each other! I have been asked that in the US, more than once! (There's a famous D-Gen sketch where they play The Thunderbirds...

Just moved house, bowled a tournament with no practice, worked 4 x 15 hour days in a row (inc driving to and from Canberra) and had a tumble running full tilt for the bus two days ago... (Minimal skin loss - Good thing I was wearing Winter clothes and learned how to fall over properly as a kid!)...

I feel so enlightened now! (Haven't seen it, but Ron Burgundy and Brian Fantana sound like they have big, bushy mo's!)

Of course, HUGE thanks to the Price family and Jemmo (who let's face it, is part of the Price family these days!). You all put in an amazing effort to make this tournament run better every year. Bar one scoring hiccup, the centre ran like a Swiss watch all weekend. It takes a lot of...

Big congratulations to Dale, George and Shaun. Well bowled fellas. Big thanks to the sponsors, Bathurst Real Estate (who my wife and I just purchased our new home from!), as well as the many minor sponsors who donated cash, time and products. I was very excited to read that you have obtained...

Hmmm... I'm on a work computer. I'm not going to search that term... That's significantly less in both frequency and duration to the number of times I've listened to you complaining about it, Cow! :) But I think I'll resurrect it whenever I'm in your presence from now on.

"Yeah, you just do it with weights, don't you, Brenton..? Don't you..?" Then as the awkward look comes across your face, the desperate look comes into their eyes. "Can't you sand it or something..?" My standard reply these days is "Meet me half way. Touch the holes at the bottom of the swing...

Yes, Mary. There's going to be quite a few offended concreters out there when they read that! Rob, if you've bowled a 230 or higher with one of those things, that's worth 300! Geez, they were terrible in urethane days!:) And tough! Like drilling masonry! Rob, you must have bowled a million games...

Jason Doust for B Squad please, Leanne! Coming for sure and would love to see the same pattern used, as a holiday onto the RHS of the approach would be lovely!

OK, here's a place to post what you've always suspected about life's little idiosyncrasies as if you knew what you were talking about. A bit like playing Balderdash. 2.34 Hrs - The average total time lost looking for the marking pen, tape or knife while packing boxes to move house. (Found...

Oh for God's sake! Bowl your ass off, Jezza and put a bloody sock in him! (Gonna need a pair of those Holeproof Mountaineers to plug that maw!) ;) Good luck everyone. I'm betting that a BOWLER wins the event.

Congratulations fellow bowling Geek! :) I've heard of worse ways to get 300!

Your eyes aren't deceiving you Luke. Colder oil is thicker oil. It will actually slow the ball down on the lane as it tries to plough through, like a bow wave on a ship. So when it does come into friction, the ball reaction often gets "jumpy". I remember bowling in the first squad in the ACT...

Pattern Info Just a heads up everyone. I played on the proposed pattern last night. I could use a weaker ball (900G Hook!) from outside, around 5 board, a medium strong ball (Momentum Swing or QZ-2 or Times Up Solid) around 7-8 board, a stronger ball (Super Cell) swinging to 7-8 board and a...

For those folks who weren't here last time, this pattern held up quite well, playing particularly well for the guys who played up the boards. (Note the "top up" zones in the midlane.) There is an old pattern preview on my site (link is in my signature below) it's still quite relevant. I wish I...

Ah, good... you can drill some Storm bath bombs as well then! :)

That's a pre-conventional one finger grip. Heard of them, but that's the first time I've seen one. What a classic old film! And aren't they the most pristine wood lanes you've seen? I love how there are different sized balls to use too. The pin boys aren't worried about atomic messenger pins...

Ha ha, I've been called worse! Bloody spellcheckers...

Good to see the list growing. And great to see so many deposits paid! I'm really looking forward to this weekend. Guess I'd better dust off some gear. Haven't touched a ball in 4 weeks! (Practice time...)

Sad to say it, but many bowlers don't want to get better. They want to buy a ball and a robo-wrist and have the lanes walled up so their scores improve. I hear a lot of guys crowing about scores and when I ask them the most basic of questions like "Wow, that's great. Sounds like the lanes were...

Whoops. Touched the holes! I agree, John. The guy up the back must have had money (or amphetamines, methadrine, PCP) riding on that shot.

The spotting rods (don't know their real names) are from pre-pinsetter days. Well before bowling in Australia. Modern pins still have the countersunk holes in the base for that express purpose. A good pin boy can get your ball back and rack 'em faster than a machine! Dangerous work though!
