I feel your pain, Andy. Last week during league I left a cold 8 pin, spared, and then went off the sheet for 290. Followed up with the front 5, then a 10 pin (the 7 fell late), spared and went off the sheet for a 279. FFS!

You've nailed it there, Marto. I have no illusions of being a Rachuig bowler (though I have tried out in the past), but if I laid out the best part of $3000, took a week off work, and fulfilled all the other (some of which are frankly bullsh*t) commitments, I'd be expecting to be a bit more...
Funnily enough, I was at my parents' place in Sydney last weekend and my Dad and I were going through all the old balls in the back of the garage!
We found my old black U-Dot that has to be at least 20 years old.
Ah, so that's what all the noise was about earlier. I just thought "Adrian's getting fired up again, what else is new?".
Congrats again Adrian. I'm just going to start copy/pasting these messages from now on ;)
My Dad's been bowling the Galstar league at Campbelltown on Monday nights since I was in primary school, so he'd be going on 20 years now. I'm sure a couple of the guys from the Scratch Singles on Thursdays have been going for about as long as well.
I'm pretty sure it managed to find its way back to Sydney. You might be lucky if my olds haven't had their long-threatened clean up yet. I do have an Animal Untamed with a nice big crack around the circumference that makes the Ipswich Sinkhole look like a pothole if you're interested though :p
