Site Supporter FrancisFogarty Posted August 5, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted August 5, 2021 Well done Victor. After 30 years supplying boozer you've done your bit. Stand down. It's great, once you get used to it. I struggled at first, but there was nothing to do. Absolutely nothing because of Covid but once things started opening up I was in my glory. We have Fogarty juniors dog two days, I bowl three afternoons, there's the match, and my bus pass ensures I never miss a chance of a session.

leigh white Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Was getting grief off my sons mother in law who is still abroad about not getting a taxi from Manc airport. I said what's the point of forking out £ 50 for a one way ride to Leigh when I can use my bus/train/tram pass for fuck all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be all over it. 36 Meldrew. Spend more time with your grandkids. Offer to have them for days or trips out. Your kids will appreciate it! 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An old school mate of mine is playing and he's only 43 the crazy fucker. To be fair though, it's like a cross between 10 pin bowling and snooker so maybe we are doing it a disservice? We used to play similar as kids with pool balls along the hall carpet, was quite good fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has now got a lovely place for the same money a little north east of the M25 in what can only be described as Midsummer Murder territory. He's been there less than a month and is already on the cricket team yet failed badly but excelled at darts so the local loves him. I could retire somewhere like there.

Actually quite enjoy parts of it. But if someone could say live in moss side comfortably without working I'd probably do it. I lived in Rusholme and shopped at hulme Asda back in the day. I can survive anything! The Horwich riveria is like Monaco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
