A bit of a prang

My skittles playing was somewhat curtailed this week by a blithering idiot who decided to drive head on into my car. Pootling back from band practice nice and safely my car got smacked in the front by a driver "swerving to miss a deer". Hmm... sure you were mate, most of us swerve to miss deers by going on to the wrong side of the road for some distance at 80mph.

Anyway check out my destroyed car (pictured right) and then you will realise why I couldn't play skittles this week. I couldn't miss out on writing this blog though so I pass over the keyboard to team member extraordinaire Pasty for a report on the game:

Team Clothier have won again and this time by another massive margin of 57!! Our pin average is looking a bit good this year!! We were back at our home alley at the Poacher's Pocket and hosting A Bown, an all-women team, that put up quite a spirited fight, but couldn't quite match our fine form of late.
Also we were playing with a weakened team without the likes of Lethaby Jnr and DJ, both who had been involved in car accidents. They really must stop hitting people, or is that the other way round?!! Nashy top scored with 53 followed by Skipper with 46. The rest were close behind and in the 40s. Except at the other end of the spectrum was the Fat Controller who hid a shocking 32. He seemed more interested in chatting up the ladies on the opposing team - what a Leg End!!

Thanks for that Pasty, a fine report I think all will agree?! Our next match is Monday at the Lamb Inn, Clandown, which is miles away! Hopefully I will be fit enough to resume in the team. Anyway, until then...

Go for wood!
