I'm going to shadow the England football team's performance in the European Championship. That is, I set out to do well this evening yet my performance led to an unsatisfying conclusion. This is quite common in a few aspects of my life.

There was a small child bowling on the lane next to me and he was loving the atmosphere in Ocean Bowl. He cheered every ball he bowled and high fived his Mum when she got a strike, something I'd love to do with my family but unfortunately I take the game far too seriously. My children sit in a darkened room when we return so that they don't have to look at my gloomy face.

Here's the score that compliments a heavy weekend on the beer ever hopeful of an England win. Come on lads, I need that perfect game.
