World Snooker

[Shaggy]

I've cleared up all the colours for 27 a couple of times. Some buzz that.

Problem is for us at our standard that by the time you get to the colours the colours aren't on their spots and are absolutely all over the place. The twice I cleared up the colours were against much better players than me, so the colours were either on their spots or not far off. Otherwise it's normally carnage with balls all over the ****in place.

21 is amazing. Thats at least a 6 ball break if you were on the black after each shot.

I reckon mine is waaaaayyyy worse than that.

Hmm, when you put it that way, it was probably nearer 11.

[Buzzo]

I reckon I've put away maybe four or 5 balls absolute max and that needs one or 2 are literally hanging over the pockets.

I always get carried away after potting 2, then try and absolutely melt the next one in at 10 X warp speed, or try and put ridiculous spin on it. So mainly, yeah, I am ****ing terrible at snooker.

Whats mad to consider is that 18.5m watched Dennis Taylor beat Steve (yawn) Davis in 1985. 18.5 MILLION people watching the snooker

There was **** all else to watch.

That's my problem too - always smashing the **** out of everything. Hit everything waaaaay too hard. When they fly in witout touching the sides it's some buzz, so worth it imo

[Buzzo]

Yeah, we were only just getting used to have a mighty 4 channels to choose from back in '85.

Snooker players walked like Gods amongst us back then.

I think Golf will go the same way as Snooker. Who the **** has time to play Golf???

But when my old man was my age, he'd be off for a days Golf every Sat am. without fail. Roll in steaming late on a Friday, no mobile so my Mum wouldnt have known where he was for about 5 hours. Up early and straight off out for the Golf on Sat ...They ruined it for the rest of us that lot.

Re, my own abilities at Golf, see, my abilities with Snooker

I ****ing hate golf with a passion.

Yes, exactly. It was exactly that kind of carnage that made snooker on a full sized table like a never ending game of monopoly.

We were all too **** to get a decent break and a frame would last an insufferable eternity. Particularly once we were inebriated.

Hence the pool balls. On a full sized snooker table, that was a happy medium for all of us.

all the snooker balls just end up in un-pottable positions on the cushions after the 100th miss. And it just goes on and on (and on) to what ever time you've got the room for.

It's a proper waste of time. Same as darts. 1 double 1 finish required every time.

[Shaggy]

I watched a bit of Ronnie v Ding earlier and they rattled through 5 frames in under an hour.

I remember frames sometimes taking us a full hour back in the day

Yep. **** darts too. ****, ****, **** game.

[Buzzo]

Bar Billiards though

[dom9]

Now you're talking. I've only seen a handful of those tables in my life. But what a fantastic game. Love it.

[Pablo]

My highest break was 47. Bottled it on a colour for the half century

Think apart from that its probably in the high 20s/low 30s. Was a bit of a one off sadly

[Slinky Skills]

Anyone remember this?

Well, that was a pretty remarkable frame
