Hilly House's Own Agony Aunt

Dear House On The Hill,
Due to my inability to drive in a straight line, I have been left with broken ribs after being involved in a traffic accident.
The A’ Team captain agrees with my wife and doctors, who say that I should not bowl for several weeks.
I love my bowling, what should I do ?
Concerned from Priory

Dear Concerned,
Stop thinking of yourself all the time, it’s only broken ribs and the B’ Team are a player short this week. See You Thursday you wimp

Dear House On The Hill,
My husband has bowled on a Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday for almost 20 years, recently he had a fall at work which has left him housebound.
I am not sure that I can put up with anymore of his bowling stories, I may have to kill him.
How can I get him back bowling ?
Bowling Widow from Oakham

Dear Bowling Widow,
Unfortunately, I know who you are talking about and as we have suffered 20 years of the same stories, we don’t want him back. Kill him.

Dear House On The Hill,
I am getting married to a fellow bowler next year, it’s a summer wedding and I am very excited about it, I love my partner very much but I have got my doubts about his feelings towards me. Last night we were discussing our honeymoon which is expected to be in August. He has already arranged the date of the wedding on a Saturday when there is no bowling and now he is refusing to go on honeymoon during the season. Does he love bowling more than me ?
Upset Stourbridge
Dear Upset,
Don’t worry little lady, we’ll go on honeymoon as soon as I’ve made sure that Desperate from Priory will cover for me.

 

Dear House On The Hill,
I have been a regular in the Hilly House A’ Team for over 15 years.
Recently I have found myself befriending members of the B’ Team. The latest example of this is when I went along to a night out dancing in Gornal with six of them.
As one of the best bowlers in the club, I am worried that by mixing with the B’ team I might be dragged down to their level and start enjoying myself.
Worried Dudley
Dear Worried,
Lighten up big man, winning isn’t everything (I should know). Try enjoying yourself, it may change you into a crap bowler but you never know you may live longer.

Dear House On The Hill,
Having quit the club at the end of last season, I have been talked into making a guest appearance due to a severe lack of players this month. Since agreeing to play in this “one off” game, I have made twelve appearances and have been talked into playing on a Thursday for the remainder of the season. I intend to quit again after this season, how can I avoid being talked into playing again?
Desperate Priory

Dear Desperate,
You will play again next season, we know your phone number, we know your address, we know where you work, we know where you drink and most importantly, we know some very big blokes with some very big knuckles.
