Do you have the same problem many people do, choosing between the Pink and the Brown?

Not at all, in fact I can safely say that I have absolutely no interest in the brown but I have been known to cosy up to the pink on many occasions but only when I am scoring high.

I hadn't taken you for a snooker buff Box but now that I know can you tell me if you enjoy being amongst the balls?

I has been said, from time to time, that I can get overly enthusiastic with my balls. My regular attempts to get them in the pocket, have often elicited some unusual responses from other players.

Do you find, that just the sound of Whispering Ted's dulcet tones, is enough to have you reaching for your cue?

Well trying to fit a round ball into a square Box has always been difficult, although not impossible I hear.

Whispering Ted, yes he did inspire me to try to master the art of cuemanship but that was as far as I got. Do you have any tips in that direction?

True mastery of the cue can only come from a delicate combination of hip and wrist action, do you feel you have the determination and endurance required for the many long hours of practice needed to reach a peak performance?

That sounds like an excellent idea although I'm not sure about managing for many long hours, that doesn't quite sound like me. Don't they say though that the fun in in the trying?

Anyone agree?
Maybe baseball, but not basketball. I have played snooker a couple of times many years ago. I even played on a 12' x 6' table. I do O.K. with straight pool and 8-ball. The bad part of snooker was that my cue was short because where I usually played had walls in close. Too many bridge shots and I felt like I was on top of the table.

I stayed and did better with darts. :approve:

Wouldn't that be more exciting than snooker?

Strangely enough I can tolerate baseball but not basketball, American football or ice hockey.

What is the deal with watching something for 4 hours or so just to see 1 hour of play?

Don't we need the breaks to get more beer get rid of what we already drank?

It only hurt once, from beginning to end.

Bigger table, different colored balls, and scoring - does that make sense to the snooker players?

I have never played snooker or pool, so I will take your word on it. Is that fine with you?

Maybe you are an undiscovered talent with the potential to be a future world champion. But then again maybe not.

Am I rambling again?

Wouldn't a world champion shooker player require some advanced geometric skills?
