Aker Bowling Night - 30/09/2013

Another event in the Aker social calendar. It's going to be a busy end of the year
in actual fact, which is a good thing.

Tonight was the Aker Bowling Night. I've been to one of these before and this one
was of the same standard. A couple of drinks upstairs with the gang, then downstairs
to the lanes to start bowling.

I was a team with my usual lot, there was seven of us, and there were quite a few
other teams as well. I think there was about 70 people there but I could be wrong.

A bucket of beers/alco-pops were put on the tables, then plates of chicken wings, pizza
slices and onion rings - yum!

I lost track of the scores even in the first frame, not being very competitive and then
bowed out of the second frame completely due to having to answer an on-call call!

After that we had a shot on the dodgems (free) and got taxis into town.

About six of us then proceeded to paint the town red, with visits to Bar 99, Revolution,
(not Espionage due to one of our party being slightly too tipsy - a gentleman from another
department, we are all too sensible of course!) then the Moorings.
I'd never been there before but it reminded me of some of the places I used to go to when
I went out in Edinburgh. Dark, dingy, full of heavy metal kids and the like. Not unpleasant
though and a nice enough place to be in for a while.

That was the last place we went to though and after a visit to McDonalds it was home
time and a long stand in a taxi queue. Home by half three ;)
