    See that ****ing baffles me tbh mate.

    Everyone I've met who plays snooker has absolutely rinsed it on a pool table as it's so much smaller, they just find it easy.

    I'm pretty good (but inconstistent) at pool, but shocking at snooker, though saying that, I've never really it played it enough.

    Not worth bothering ... the fool has managed to drag the IQ everage of the board down to a single digit since he appeared <laugh> ... although in fairness it probably wan't overly impressive to start with <whistle>

    Maybe you weren't then, there was definitely people inferring worse than him being just strange. Perhaps you weren't one.

    That's quite correct, I played snooker as a teenager quite well but when pool became the craze I rinsed a lot of players due to white ball control.

    No he wasn't but quite a few of us made references that his cartoons using a young fawn being buggered by a family member could be seen as advocating child porn. Of course it was all tongue in cheek and to my knowledge no one accused him of that crime.

    He aims 'Bambi' at me ... apparently because I was naiive in thinking that our good start to last season might be maintained <whistle> ... in terms of nicknames it has an ironic beauty to it, given how last season concluded ... indeed I'm quite fond of it - a constant reminder of the finest time in my club's footballing history <laugh>

    Indeed buddy .... very difficult to describe ... saw my first home game in the 1969/70 season and have watched them yo-yo between divisions ever since, with only the hope of a decent cup run as the likely pinnacle of success ... didn't think it could possibly get any better than the League Cups under Martin O'Neil ... but it did ... and however else the rest of my life as a supporter goes, I'll always be able to say I was there the season we won the EPL. <ok>

    PS Still got the last 16 of the UCL to look forward to - so this season hasn't all been disappointing by any means ... irrespective of how we get on in the game against Sevilla :cool:

    Just back from the garage, £1047.50 lighter and the problem still isn't fixed <cry> Basically having problems with the AWD on my car and chasing issues, now narrowed down to the differential electronic module being fried. Was quoted £2058 from Volvo main dealer for a new one ! Just scouring some forums and there's an indy in London who can repair or refurbish them for £360 ... phew

    Totally different games, mate. Different rules, not as much room to manoeuvre around a pool table and I like to play a good safety game, you don't get that in pool.

    Same as playing football at 5-a-side and 11-a-side, completely different formats of the game with different tactics and skill sets required.

    I'd try and find some reviews on Volvo forums of that company before buying mate, there's loads of ECU 'refurb' outfits out there who are nothing more than scrap dealers who have no idea on the compatibility of the units they shift on.
