Carrom Association

Carrom is a board game that will bring to life any dull evening when you’re too tired to go out, there’s nothing on the telly and your PC is playing up.

What are the alternatives?

1 You could read a book. (But you’re not in the right mood)

2 You could tidy up. (Again!!)

3 You could have an early night. (You’re not tired enough.)

4 You could sort out all the bits of paper, receipts and bills that have been multiplying in the kitchen drawer.(Too depressing)

5 You could start an arguement with your partner or flatmate, just to relieve the boredom. (Not recommended)

6 You could bake a cake. (Remember, a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips.)

7 You could make a few phone calls. (Who would you call? Bored/boardbusters?)

8 Play a game of monopoly. (It takes too long and can lead to too many disagreements. Isn’t it always the same where money is concerned?)

9 You could play a game of chess. (Too complicated. It requires you to think too much.)

10 You could put on some music, dust down your carrom board and have a few games.(Recommended)
I guarantee you’ll feel better.

I’ve yet to play a game of carrom that hasn’t lifted the gloom that settles around us, sometimes for no good reason.

We always end up laughing. I’m not very good at the game, but I don’t mind my opposition making jokes at my expense.

If you don’t feel better afterwards you really are bored with life. Don’t worry about it too much.

Tomorow is another day.

Things can only get better.

When did you last hear that song? Oh yes I remember, it was Labour’s anthem.

Things may have gotten better for some members of the Labour Party but…..

I don’t need to remind you, surely.

Oh my goodness, I’ve really depressed myself thinking about it all.

The wars, taxes, scandals, lies, fines, ID cards, MRSA, Big Brother, both the TV programme and the State.

I’m off to have a few games of Carrom before I get too miserable.
