I recently found myself with nothing to do one evening. Well that's not strictly true, I am still putting the finishing touches to the launch of a new company, and I always have some internet promotions work I can be carrying out, but for once I had nothing urgent screaming at me to be done. The upshot was that my wife, daughter and I jumped in the car and nipped out to the xscape centre at Castleford for a couple of games of 10 pin bowling.
Midway through the second game I managed to drop the ball and bowl it backwards, away from the pins. A bit like Arthur after a heavy drinking session really. Anyway it reminded me of years earlier when my (at that time) wife to be and I went out bowling. At the lane adjacent to ours was a competitive match between two teams. As the last ball of their competition was about to be bowled, I slipped and somehow managed to throw my ball into their lane. It rolled ever so slowly down the lane and clipped a single pin, promptly losing the match for the home team!
One thing that surprised me was how quiet the Xscape centre was, in the past we have had to book a lane and then come back anything upto an hour later. This time not only did we start to play immediately, but many of the lanes were empty. Similarly the bars and restaurants around the place were only about a quarter full. It was on a weekend and during the school holidays so I expected the place to be heaving.
Saturday saw me at the second of our Galaxy radio events. This time in the Quest nightclub in Wakefield. I finished at 1 am but couldn't get our cart out until after 3 due to fact that the place was absolutely packed. We took one of our larger carts with the twisted brass poles at each corner, which resulted in one young lady attempting to pole dance. Unfortunately this unbalanced the cart and I had to stop her.
