Thats easy - you just have to insert a vowel between every third Consonant

That works.
I think Bletchly park would have struggled with these kid's text messages.
I sometimes have to ring the message sender up and say "WHAT?"

You like travelling Rondini? Where have you been? Love it myself. Can't stand package holidays.

BTW How much plaster do you need to take a cast of a beach

JohnDotCom · 27th November 2007, 20:57

The whole Plaster of Paris.

Can you all please stop talking in code on this thread so that the rest of us have a fighting chance of understanding?

Pretty please

OK sorry,

Well - bitter is a slightly brown coloured alcoholic liquid usually consumed in pint units...

Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. Role playing the old fashioned way with pencil, paper, rules, dice but most of all...imagination.

Depends on how big the beech is!

I used to shoot clays, but they tasted awful.

now older and overtaken by the younger "wizz kids" I'm Still averaging 190 per game, just not good enough now.

Me too!

I only started in my second year at university though (so a bit of a late starter), so been playing about 5 years now. Not seriously though, just once a week at uni and now once a week in a league. In-fact just got in from playing, we won 8-0 (which will mean nothing to the masses unless you know how leagues are scored and even then they differ.)

Never had any coaching and I only average 180 or so. I've won some student tournaments, including hitting a 301 handicapped game! Best is probably the top 50 finish in the British University Championships.

I also took up a bit of road running earlier in the year, again nothing serious, done some 5k, 10k, 5mile, 7mile races. I'm looking to do a 5km road race in under 20 mins (last race was 20.15) and maybe then a 10k in under 40mins!

I would absolutely love to take up Clay Pigeon Shooting - I recently had a day out with my Wifes bests friends partner and his friends ( did you follow that !!

) for his Birthday and it was a Clay Pigeon Shoot and I really enjoyed it.........moreso, because I was actually quite good at it too !!!!!

I came in Second in the Competition............

- I still have my Score card and a Spent Cartridge !!

Not a hobby so much as a pastime, I have a WW2 Flight Sim for the PC, 'IL2 Sturmovik' and the follow On's to it...........I love Flight etc

Gardening, nothing better than sitting in a Beautiful garden in summer

Dont currently have proper Hobbies, but used to do a lot of "Sketches" and tried Photography, but lack of money meant I couldnt fully appreciate the Photography.

I used to build PC's and sell them on Fleabay

also, used to collect Vinyl records by Prince.........have owned one or two rare (real life rare and not Ebay rare) Items.......
