I used to play billiard but the moment I played Snooker I was hooked. Other snooker players? Me and my friend are so equal we end up playing the black ball to win the frame. I though like playing snooker and chess. All the best Yours truly
Bruno Rutigliani used to come to the base at Sigonella to play pool with Americans. He was amazing at any that involved balls and a stick.
A game first played in India in Indian Army Officers messes. Invented by Sir Neville Francis Fitzgerald Chamberlain, KCB, KCVO, KPM (13 January 1856 – 28 May 1944) in Jubbulpore (Jabalpur), India in 1875. Apparently he got bored by billiards.
The first time I was scared of the size of the table some 3 meters. Then I loved it. Now give me the points flor colour balls. Easy.
Should try the version played by Arch Chancellor Ridcully of the Unseen University where the balls can switch dimensions in order to pass through obstacles. See Terry Pratchett's Disc World series
Most who died did so in their first year there. If you survived your first year you were "seasoned" and likely to do your full tour which was about 3 years
The other Trump is a bogie man for Ronnie O´Sullivan. When Ronnnie said he was back for only the money I started hating him. You love it or you don´t. Money is not the big picture. It is your small picture.
Ronnie O'Sullivan Lost in the semi-finals first being down 10-6 and then leading twice but Lost with the last black Ball in the world champions tournament.
I struggle at snooker for many reasons, though I always blame my glasses. I need to find out were Dennis Taylor got his... Used to play pool quite a lot in my younger days (was never very good though)
