It’s very classic. I did not grow up with them at all, yet walking into one for the first time last year it felt like a warm hug? It’s a simple ol’ institution. My wife and I are going to do some barefoot bowls next Friday night with some friends, really looking forward to it

Let me know when you’re in QLD sleeve <3
Someone come to bingo with me next Wednesday at 9:30am. $100 jackpot and $500 on calls (whatever that means!)

not sure what the AUS equivalent is but I think that is a "windfall" in UK parlancehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bingo_(British_version)#Windfalls

“Do some barefoot bowls” I guess I don’t get the connection to the bar

Okay sorry, I’ve finally figured out how to do images after a decade of messing it up. Three cheers for me.

Bocce to bowls is like softball to baseball. Mostly the same, with one being a bit more difficult and holding a bit more prestige

i’ve mostly played bocce on an incredibly uneven grass field at a family gathering years ago. not a lack of challenge, there

Point taken!
I’ve gotta say, this is a lot of fun to watch. “Great shot mate, yep, yep, you’ll get through that, yep just a bit more to the right, that’s it mate, good effort, push it, good effort mate, yep nice one Jimmy, fuckin dreadful mate (from the bowler), that’s alright mate next one mate, *clap clap*, well done Clark, you really just gotta bowl them over, *clap clap*.
I’m having more fun watching this than seeing my dodgers take the Red Sox today! Couple cheep beers and this $1 membership is paying off big time! Let’s go mate *clap clap*
“Yeaaah mate you just ummmm……. That much overdraw *holds hands out to signify distance to change for next time*

Thank you for tuning into the live commentary of the Caloundra bowls club. All quotes were taken in real time. The *clap clap* seems to be an essential part of lawn club culture., it’s heard multiple times every 10 seconds. Really adds to the aural atmosphere

There is a bowls club in my town and they've recently discovered social media, so there are lots of posts in my local FB group about trying a cool new sport!!
― kinder, Sunday, 27 August 2023 12:14 (one year ago) link
One of my worst memories ever was laughing at a bowls club poster when in middle school, and then turning around to see the bloke from the club who had put them up and been trying to promote it to the school, stand there dejected. Maybe I’m just making up for my sins with this new fad

seriously, if you have 'one sip' left in your pint and you're on your own at a table. Don't disappear somewhere and not expect your drink to be dispelled to the washing machine.
