Quick Britpick and General Whining

[amberfocus]

Okay, U.K. people, do you call bowling something other than bowling?  I'm thinking...ten pins?  Or is it just bowling?

Also in general fail on the part of the internet today, only two people have managed to amuse me (one being mrv3000 with this entry:  http://mrv3000.livejournal.com/1078773.html) and I am now BORED.

For those keeping score:

Killer Snot Monster from Outer Space:  3
Tobias:  0

He's missed 3 days of school and it's not a lot of fun.  I think it's going to be a loooooooooooooong weekend.

Thank you to those who have sent me early b'day greetings and v-gifts.  They are loverly.  I will try to respond individually, but I kind of suck at that.

Tosh is starting to become slightly more reasonable.  John and Rose are still making out in the corner.

That sounds more like the French sport of boulles, to me, a kind of lawn bowling with palm-sized balls. I'm wanting more of an indoor, thing with special shoes done on polished wood floors and you throw the ball down a lane to try to take down as many pins as you can at the end without it falling into the gutter first

I can just use the Americanism if I have to. It is an AU world and some things are different..

In Australia we just call it Ten Pin Bowling or say we're going bowling.

Happy Birthday by the way!
