Off-Topic Pub Skittles

[Arfur Ap Llewellyn Europe]

What's your highest score?

Off your 5 rolls, or even just a single roll (I've got a zinger of an anecdote off a single roll).

Did you ever win the pub meat roll off perhaps?

Did your Mrs ever work as a sticker upper?

Plastic or wooden pins?

There's so much to discuss and it's often overlooked imho.

It's virtually nigh on impossible to get a strike, ball is tiny and the pins are too spread apart.

It's a dying game as pubs that do them, won't exist in 30 years time.

It's only dying as pubs are getting killed off one by one.

And speak for yourself. I got a 13 off one roll once.

Word quickly got around the pub about this new skittling prodigy and a large expectant crowd gathered around me for my next roll.

I came back with a 3.

There used to be an alley at the Butchers in Rhiwbina, now part of the restaurant area. I think the one at the three arches has probably gone. I don’t know any pubs that still has an alley tbh.

Railway in Llandaff North does.

Although they've done a very clever thing by also using it as a huge darts venue.

I joined that league and was over the moon to see all my potential losers were all under 20 years of age.

My record remains as:
