If anyone of you are keen to see the ONLINE FREAK SHOW, please make your way to www.team-fos.cjb.net ... but please do only on an empty stomach, so you won't vomit your contents on the keyboard after viewing our pictures.
Great job, Mich! I think the next step for us will be to design a team logo for ourselves ... but I don't think we'd include faeces as part of the logo of course!! -

2) Highest game is a 289 on a graded tourny
3) 300 games ah..managed 2 but they are 9 pin tap
4) using 15lbs ball (previously was 16lbs), so the older i get the lighter ball i use. Maybe going down to 14 soon also
