XRW-147 Activity: Bowling Venue: 'Thunder Bowl' on SZR near Interchange 1 / Defence Round about Date: TBA - decided by poll Time: TBA - probably evening Please post ONLY if you are coming so we have an idea of numbers. Anything off topic will feel Arnie's wrath.
Wafaey
Hey I had just posted a poll to see which day its going to be constantine i am in
little details on the cost breakdowns and other stuff
1 hr for 5 people = 70 AED
OR
1 person 10 AED- Per game
if we play teams of 4/5...which option do you think is better?...i personally think option 1 is... XRW-147 Agree with u there C, option one easily. You can get 3 games per person in an hour playing 4/lane. easternjewel I am stuck with ball 8 & still suck at bowling. Can I have bars in my turn & team up with the Big strong guy of DFs if I come? :wink: geraintindxb i got sucked to play bowling too. but i am interested to be there an have a try. Chocoholic Darn it, I always break my thumb nail bowling. xibit lolz i hang out with friends at thunder bowl all the time have any of u all been there before ?? constantine nope never been to the one in dubai...heard its pretty good..20 lanes and all...anything we should know? cadmus

Anyway, no I'm not in Dubai yet - Coming over at weekend for the first time! I'm a Dubai virgin (unless you count the airport, which I've visited before!). Got and interview on sunday and a "meet and greet" session with a company out there, so fingers crossed!! I'd thought it was going to be in a few weeks though, and that I'd get to come along to the forum meet. Hopefully next time!!
Hope you all have a great time though!! And try to play nicely!! :lol: XRW-147

I need two more days to confirm for my hubby at least. Sorry! arniegang I hate everyone who voted for the 12th. :lol: :lol: :lol: XRW-147 C, hats off to you for taking the reigns of organizing this. Might be a good idea to have a reserve activity, a feed at one of the restaurants near by perhaps, in case you are (touchwood) unlucky and don't get a lane. Enjoy! kanelli Constantine, if my hubby can't come I should try to hitch a ride with you, if that is okay. Liban I will be out of town on Friday so I will not be able to make the meet. I hope that those attending will have fun. Take some pictures and email them to me!! :) constantine thanks x...resturants any recommendations nearby?...so i can book a table perhaps...in fact feipo was saying we could drop by where she works so we can meet up with her...feipo is it really far from the thunderbowl area?...kanelli in most probability fayz is going to swing by my house to pick me up...which is in springs...i am sure its perfectly fine if we drive there togeather...and me and fayz were planning to go there a bit earlier...like 4...hope that is ok with you and hubby... XRW-147 No worries mate. I would say Applebees, good range of food for everyone there. And walking distance from Thunder Bowl. kanelli Okay, I'll let you know. If hubby is coming, we have a car, if not then I need to mooch a ride with you and Fayz. Thanks! :) Liban
Applebees is "walking distance"... :lol:
Hehehe... Apparently the heat and building humidity do not deter you from "suicide walks"... :lol: constantine thanks x...will do that...and K no worries...you're more than welcome.... kanelli
Nah, we should all just bring a change of clothes and have a bird bath in the restaurant washroom. :lol: XRW-147
I said it was walking distance, never said it was a walk in the park ;) terranova can i come? :( constantine terranova sure you can mate...pm me with your contact details...and you know the rest of the information... IMJ Hey, C, cought a cold a few days ago, trying to get better, but it is impossible, coz every day i come to the office it is ALASKA or Siberia, so, not sure it i will be ok to come to play with you all. Will do my best though. constantine hey IMJ No worries...hope you feel better...i am sure there will be other forum meets... ^ian^ Wish I brought my bowling balls from Australia with me. Scarlet has RSVP'd on my behalf - see you guys there. XRW-147
It's not Dubai pro-am mate :) ^ian^
I haven't bowled properly in years, I'd probably do better with a house ball. constantine i've bowled twice in my life...heavily under the influence of spurious liquids...i can vouch for the fact that it makes me aim so much better...i actually dont hit no gutter balls... :lol: ...afternoon beers before the game anyone?...hmm :lol: ^ian^ Like playing pool, bowling definitely follows the bell curve of alcohol consumption. IMJ
i have also noticed that alcohol helps bowl better, lol wannabe hhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!...(....long sigh...). i want to be in dubai! :( IMJ
JLo is not coming here, so, why would u wanna be here? Liban Ummm.... yyyyeahhhh... :roll: Wafaey
Count me in Costa fayz
The fact that there is no J lo here was a big factor in me moving. Jenny can may be from her block just stay off a my street. IMJ
lmao, i am so sleepy, that i am confusing threads, sry, ppl, did not meant to post anything about JLo here. IMJ anyway, u guys gonna get some boosters before bowling? Wafaey It seems you have been taking alot of cold medicine ;) IMJ
u know, i have noticed that way too many things seem to you. constantine
beer=best cure for cold
and if there is any hangover i recommend some more beer! :lol: IMJ
i know it might seem weird, but warm beer heps at the beginning stage of catching cold, i went and got that treatment the first day i felt sick, next day felt better, so, thought would go to swim, which i think brought me back to reality, lol wannabe imj ...why would i want to be in dubai for Jlo :? , i want to be in dubai for dubai ......im bored....off work after having surgery......and at the moment the sky is sunny here in the uk.... but its still cold! IMJ
i already said that JLo came in there by mistake geraintindxb Thunder Bowl is the first of its kind in the Middle East, and its concept is based on similar centres in America and Europe, which have proved very popular. Thunder Bowl has successfully incorporated the traditional game of bowling, with state-of-the-art technolgoy from the Brunswick Corporations, USA. To further enchance its appeal, Thunder Bowl also offers its customers a complete leisure entertainment package. Located in the former Safestway Supermarket, on Sheikh Zayed Road near the Defense Round About, Thunder Bowl allows easy access to its customer with ample car parking for over 300 cars. fayz Thank you Constantine for organizing a great day and thank you all for attending. Below are the best score rankings for those that played. ^Ian^ 163 Fayz 113 Geraint 111 Intimacy 99 Constantine 91 Wafey 80 Palkid 76 Kannelli 73 Corcavado 69 Scarlet 62 Congrats to Ian for humbling us all.

I really enjoyed meeting all of you :) constantine same...was really nice connecting the faces to the avatars... :D Intimacy Well, my scores are bad because i couldnt continue, i had to leave. and unfortunilty i couldnt join also for the sheshah place constantine it was a great effort man to arrange such a nice gathering. thanks dude. constantine
intimacy
you are welcome buddy....thanks for the 4 wheel drive experiance...now that was awesome!! ^ian^ It was a fun day, as well as the ensuing shisha and dinner. Thanks everyone for coming along and making it an enjoyable outing. Lets hope to catch up soon. geraintindxb
You were quite good at bowling.
Thanks for your coaching for my bowling. geraintindxb
It was nice. thank you very much!(xie xie:)) ^ian^
I did have an unfair advantage, I spent a lot of my youth bowling in Australia in competitions etc. Although it has been a while, it comes back very quickly. Was a bit sore in the shoulder the next day though.
You picked it up very quickly Geraint especially for a first timer.
:D :D
