Genie Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Just back from a game of bowling with my lad. They aren’t making you change shoes now ‘cos of Covid. Makes you wonder what the point of that whole debarked is. I looked up and down the lanes and nobody was doing the Bambi on ice routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going to walk up and drop the ball and attempt make a crater in the lane then you don't need shoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what way was it full of weirdos? Was going to respond on a TBAR thread I found but it was locked. I can't remember the exact details but as @StanBalaban suggested they had very odd ideas about the 2016 takeover and used to ban people for all sorts of daft things. I only became aware of it because of people on here taking the piss out of it but it now seems to have expired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted June 27, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 27, 2021 (edited) Apparently I've earned some awards and ranks on Villatalk. Assuming that's a new thing? My badges are 'rare'... That's exciting. I feel like I'm playing Pokémon or something. Edited June 27, 2021 by Rds1983 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
