Tagging along with the trainees from work once again we hit the Dodgem Cars and Bowling Lanes at the Trocadero in Picadilly Circus for a night out. The last time I went out on a dodgem car I had some young Spanish kids really gunning for me … tonight the only difference was that the kids were English!

Jenny and I decided to get in a car together which I think was much more fun because it basically gave us two rides. I didn’t time how long we were driving for but it felt like it was over just like that. Great fun.

I took the above video footage whilst Jenny was tearing around but for some reason it seems much more gentle than it actually was!

We then moved on to the bowling. I love bowling at the Trocadero – all tacky glow in the dark and ultra violet lighting and tonight they were playing some decent music. Of course the cool shoes are the bomb as well.

With fourteen of us playing over two lanes it took a surprisingly long time to get through our frames. I think it took over two hours to play two games each. As usual lots of ribbing during the game. Pauline even resorted to kicking me in the butt and screaming with laughter to distract me. ha ha. She didn’t really need to though – I could bottle it myself. In the first game I basically only had to take down a few pins to win over James C but ended up throwing down two gutter balls! The second game was a funny mix of strikes (three!) and spares (two!) and gutter balls. Strangely my best bowls were when I nearly fell over.
