How did that bloody R get in there?
Meant 'shot'......
Thought so mate, but you know how it is when you are gifted the chance to take the P.

What rules do you play by? I have found there are different ones over here.
I used to be a bit of a pool shark when I was in college, good for making beer money ...
Darts was my money maker to be honest Mike, I'm an average pool player, until I really concentrate then it's different. Rules vary in all the local leagues around here, the people who run them generally change the game rules just to "spice" things up a bit each season, which I don't really like as it causes arguments and friction on a night when you're out for some fun.
When my old mate Ken first moved here some years ago I used to play like Higgins did snooker, just flair and luck I suppose. Anyway the first time I played Ken I 8 balled him and the landlady's daughter went to the bar and said" Tony just 8 balled Ken" ( I didn't know then he's a superstar back in Rotherham) and to which he replied "He won't f***ing do that again!) and to be honest I haven't. But I have still beat him now and again.

What really pishes me off is when the other bloke drops the black during the game and thinks that he can continue.
That is end game in my book.
Also, when you are on the black at that point in the game, you have to choose a pocket and stick to it.
No knocking it about the table until it goes down a hole.
But where's the locked cabinet that holds all the good stuff?? Is it in a bunker somewhere guarded by barbed wire and patrolled by armed guards with big German Shepards?? But they're only on duty when Members rent the place as I've been told. Beautiful spot for sure!! JIM
When we played in the Winter league 2 years ago you had to nominate a pocket for the black on each shot. Any foul shot on the black was game over.
Tony.
To easy, nominate a pocket and stick to it. One choice.
This was done simply because matches were taking too long to reach a conclusion mate, you can take forever if you play that rule, which was thought not to be fair on the landlords.

Hi Tony, I think you should be awarded a medal for putting up with such hardship and living in terrible, squalid conditions. You are a hero.

I absolutely agree Colin. It's tough, but someone has to do it mate.

A bit like the villa we stayed in at New Port Richey many moons ago, when our daughter was 14. We had an outdoor pool and a boat dock onto the creek at the bottom of the garden, ideal for swimming off and fishing from. I seem to remember swimming amongst lots of little Pipe Fish, and how warm the water was......Daughter is 42 now and mother of 3. How time flies!

We had lovely blue sky like that in Norfolk today. Mrs. Bonzo and I drove over to Blickling in Z3lda , top down of course and had a walk around the lake.Then we motored over to Heydon and had lunch in the tea room there. An MG Midget dared to park in front of us!. As we left we saw an Aston Martin Vantage V12. Very impressive until it started up,..... the exhaust note sounded like a high pitched fart! Listen to a Ferrari 250GT or a 275GT, or any V12 Ferrari of the 60s or 70s to hear how it should really sound.
