What grinds my gears today - Proper bowling alleys no longer exist in Melbourne. They've all got flashing neon lights and big stupid screens and blast horrible shitty commercial dance/pop music. A bowling alley should look like this:

Yeah, and they should play songs like "The Man in Me", "Tumbling Tumbleweeds", and the Gipsy Kings version of "Hotel California".

Well that's because bowling allies are no longer the haunts of old gents.

Nah there were still a few around here until relatively recently. My fave (and closest) alley was bulldozed to make way for apartments about 5 years ago and I had to travel to the outer burbs to bowl. Now the ones that are left have been modernified.

YES

It's a shame.

Last few times I've been bowling were at a big mall in DC. No flashing neon lights, but it does have big screens and shitty music, and it's packed with couples on dates or otherwise overdressed yuppies. Very noisy. I'm not serious enough about bowling to look for other places, it's just something to do in DC after seeing museums and shit. They have Sam Adams on tap too.

don't normal compalin, I get SSI and it is not enough to cover my electric bill and have to move and am not going to get get a fulltime job because will make about half of what I get, so am waiting for my year lease to be up in a few months and need to get a cheaper place,luckily do not have nearly as much shit as other people when moving, so it's pretty easy, it still sucks though, it can be a pain in the ass to even find a place.

Coming from an armenian actually only makes more sense. I don't see your point.

yup. the jews are the biggest "occupiers" on this planet. The azeris occupied the Armenian lands(Artsakh/Karabagh) until we took it back from them. They also occupied Nakhichevan, which they fully succeeded in taking over. A piece of land that does not even border their country.

It would make sense if he was Palestinian, or at least Muslim. Aren't Armenians almost always Christian?

that means absolutely jack shit here. Most of Armenia's history with their neighbors predates Christianity(which btw is a very small part of Armenias ancient history which goes back to 900BC). Are you saying christians(Armenia was the first official christian country btw) are supposed to automatically like jews or something?

Ready to quit my job. So tired of fixing other peoples mistakes. Just got to a new jobsite and not even a week and half in and they find out there's a major problem. None of the balconies on this building have any pitch or worse they're pitched the wrong way. These things get tile and the tile guys refused to do anything unless the problem is addressed. This is 40 stories, brand new construction, and these balconies range 150 sq. ft. to.3,000 sq. ft. , million dollar units. So I got tasked with fixing these things within tolerance. Lot of work, will take me to next year plus with winter coming everything will have to be tarped and heated.

I've done one so far, about 450 sq. ft. Had to go from a 1/4 in. to zero! Sucks, took me a day and a half.


Work in progress

And finished....

 

[no country for old wainds]

[TechnicalBarbarity]

We have lots of those around these parts. I agree with you though. That is super distracting for someone who already sucks at bowling haha.
