John Parris Cues

In all seriousness, look at the graft these guys put in to make these cues..

As a butcher, I truly understand the torment of people saying, 'The prices are too high in your shop'. Then I have to explain the work and preparation, making sure the meat is local and up to the standards we set for ourselves. Then theres the slaughter, (christ, hard graft!!), the de-boning. I know its off topic, but Ive said it before you only get what you pay for in life. And I fully respect Mike, for his wonderful service, his cues and the superb website.

I know you intended it as a joke, I just thought I'd lend my 2 pennies worth.

Was wondering when Mikes shadow was going to turn up ;P (Joke)

[mattyuk]

I knew you would say that

[MikeWooldridge]

Yeah you’re defiantly up your own arse Mike, just look at your prices! They alone belong up your arse

well the sun shines there so it's the place i enjoy best...

[Jlaix]

mmm, this is getting very interesting.

are you referring to me?

I wouldn't blame him if he was.

a butcher!!! jesus christ! i would have guessed anything but that. your artistic talent is amazing. i bet your chops are a work of art....

[MikeWooldridge]

bring it on. what's your problem?

[Jlaix]

your punctuation for a start

[MikeWooldridge]

erm... are you alright in the head?

[LWB]

How did we get on to prices? lol. Workmanship and pricing are a funny thing, I got a craftsman majestic and it's so rubbish I'm ready to go back to my £70 machine spliced master cue, make sense of that!

Yes your art is good bud, do me one of my idle Randy Couture so I can hang it up somewhere lol.

[MikeWooldridge]

good point lwb.

prices are irrelevant. nobody is holding a gun to anyone's head. if the price is too high, go elsewhere.

my favourite quote:

defintion of a fool - knows the cost of everything yet the value of nothing.

Mike I know neither you or Trevor so cannot comment and as I said to you in a previous thread when you asked about someone ripping off Mck Rees's cue joints - I said I wouldn't be prepared to say and the same stands here ! best leave it to others to make up their own minds ( and judging by the pm's I've received they already have)
Re Mick Rees - I spoke to him, as promised last night and told him that you wanted to speak to him about cue joints, he's given me permission to pass his phone number on to you and says he'd be happy to help you if he can, he also said that he thought that he might remember you when he played for Surrey against Hampshire, he asked if you had blonde hair, I said you may have then but you have a chrome dome now, must be stress of all that work you've got ! Anyway, he also said that he can't take on any more work but if you want information or help, he'll help if he can

can you pm the number please?

but it still begs the question, who on this forum is up their own arse?

yeah i played fo hampshire a few times. not blond though. and i've still got a full head of hair. i just choose to shave it regularly...

[keith auld]

ok - will do tomorrow

[Darth_Spud]

Tut tut - Would you like to borrow a capitol Y and a full stop?

Very true Mike which is why I just spent £350 on a Playstation 3 - Why won’t the Misses see that it’s an investment!!!!
