Damn it, why do I do it...
« on: August 18, 2004, 02:57:20 AM »
I'm sat at work... got a tournament qualification round tonight (just a local one), I cant help it, I've chewed off my thumb nail, and now it hurts.

I get so stressed out, I'm fine for league action... that doesn't bother me before hand at all.

Any Tips?

Super Glue doesn't sting like that Robby's patch liquid stuff does.

sounds like an old druid ritual ... lol

well what it is, is that the nail is down too low now... so it just hurts a bit at the tip... which isn't bad for bowling... to tell you truth, I didnt really notice it last night.

but yes, that sounds like a great tip, one to bear in mind.

thank you

Well, I started off good, played 3 games to get into the quarter finals for the handicap tourney, did a 657 series .

I got into the quarter finals, but has an appalling game.

But I also got did good in the scratch, go into the quarter finals  with a nice 200+ game, then they matched me up against the best local player in the alley... doh...

I started out with a 129 , he got at least 50 pins up on me.. doh, good start. then I found my form (well, some of it) and had a nice 199, but only won back about 20 pins... oh well

Still, over the last 2 nights I have had 7 200+ games...
Out of 10 that is.
