~Lynd~ Posted May 20, 2006 Report Posted May 20, 2006 Cool! I love going bowling, I use one of those ramp things, it gives me a big advantage, but still I never manage to win! XxX I use one of those things to,though i think i'd probably do better without it.Never know i might actually WIN for once,lol.

You would have a better chance at winning that way!

I use it becourse of my chair.I think i'd do better without it,but still wouldn't be able to carry the ball and push myself over at the same time,so i just let my friend put it on top of the ramp thing for me.It's not like i have much hope of actually winning anyway!

Oops! Sorry about that, I should think about what I say before I get facts!! Hopefully I didn't offend you! But I suppose if you aim it between the middle arrow and the second one either side, then push as hard as you can, you might get some pretty decent strikes out of it, as you won't have to worry about your wrist movements! I tend to bowl it straight, but my wrist might twist, therefore stuffing my game up!
Jess Posted May 20, 2006 Report Posted May 20, 2006 Can I ask a dumb question?? What is Eurovision?? Eurovision is a bit like a European 'Pop Idol'. A country has to be part of the European Broadcasting Union (but the country doesn't have to be part of the EU to be in the EBU (if that makes sense). e.g. Monaco and Israel have taken part, but they're not part of the EU. All the countries send in an act (who have gone through auditions I think) and then everyone votes for their favourite. Obviously, you can't vote for your own country though. All the votes are added up per country and points are awarded. The country with the most points wins. The winning country then hosts the next contest. To be honest, all the voting is political, regardless of the acts, the countries vote for their 'friends'. It has a reputation of being camp and lighthearted and the same person presents it every year - it's pretty much a British institution LOL. As far as I can remember, Britain have won it once, way back, and I think it was 'Bucks Fizz' but I may be wrong. In the past, we've famously had nil points! XxX
Elise Posted May 20, 2006 Report Posted May 20, 2006 Thanks for the explanation jeh-jeh! So it's basically a popularity contest of countries!! That clears it up then. Thanks

I tend to bowl it straight, but my wrist might twist, therefore stuffing my game up! No worries,you din't offend me.Like i said i'd be ok without it,but still couldn't carry the ball over and push myself at the same time. I wouldn't want to say anything becourse my friends do half the work.,asking for the ramp,putting the ball on the ramp and moving it for their turn.
Elise Posted May 20, 2006 Report Posted May 20, 2006 ^^^Nice! I suppose that's one thing that comes good out of it then! With bowling however, it is more of a technical thing than you think, If you do what I mentioned before, you should do nicely! It's all about position and force!

I've got the force thing don pat,lol,though stil working on positioning,what i think looks good dosn't always work! I think we get eurovision on sbs or abc in Australia though i'm not 100% sure.
