I got it, homeless people put you off your breakfast!

[j6uk]

[rimmer10]

Well there was a moral to my story I think was missed -

Wasn't missed on me Byrom. Very good.

Making jokes about homeless people is pathetic.

Who's not as good as me? I'm confused... Am I being attacked?

I'm not even the best player in my town, I'm not an arrogant chap...

But yeah, I can make tons regular...

Think I had 6 in league play last season... Dont know how many in practice games? Had one tonight for what it's worth.

knives are out eh?

Love the quotes - cant beat a good quote -

I just don't get where that came from?

Am I supposed to apologise for spending hours of my life playing snooker?

I love the game. I'd say I'm above average... perhaps even a level above that... I'm certainly not elite, nor have I ever claimed to be...

Also... I'm the one who actually told everyone about how Terry's name still gets brought up around here...

I can hardly be accused of knocking someone I respect?

Anyone with an issue, feel free to pm me...

I will offer advice, I dont tell lies and I am very keen to help...

The rest who wish to knock me, can go and **** themselves x

I think someone included you by mistake (at least I think so). I believe they were talking to Byrom and Jason, who love to shoot out the barbs, but then again who knows?

I know you're a good player, likely much better than I am now and if I can be so bold perhaps as good or better than I was when Mick Price was the snooker king of Nuneaton. I'm surprised though that you're not the Nuneaton king these days, or is Mick still playing to a high standard?

If you're making tons in league play (something I never did although I'm sure there were a few 80's and 90's) that is a real accomplishment as normally you only get 1 or 2 frames in an evening. You also mentioned (I think) you won the individual title which I don't think I did as Mick was in the same league but I have a trophy around here somewhere and I think it's runner-up (always a bridesmaid and never a bride I guess).

Keep laughing pottr and don't let the trolls on here get to you although in saying that I know they get to me sometimes

I'm sure I saw your name on the winners trophy... when I am at Hinckley Snooker club I will check...

Chris Wakelin is the best player in Nuneaton... I'd say I have a claim to be number two although there are some other good players around like Adam Edge and Paul Williams who play to a high standard...

Pricey's still class but he's all but packed it in now, which is a shame coz he's so good.

I've been fortunate enough to make back to back centuries in a Hinckley League match... I think I am the only player to do that as even Mick and Norman Dagley never did that?

[itsnoteasy]

Pottr I have a feeling it was a case of someone reading the last few posts and getting the wrong end of the stick, as Terry says I have no idea why you were included, and I have never liked this calling out of folk on here, if you want to ask for a video of someone, I think the rule should be you have to post one of yourself first.

[pottr]

I'm more than happy to post videos of all sorts...

But I only have a phone or ipad camera to use and no equipment to mount it on to get a decent view of the table...

I could have my son follow me around but what would you want me to post? :/

Also... I've put up 3/4 videos to the forum before so he must have me confused with others...

For what it's worth, I think Byrom's hilarious (not quite at Snookerfan levels but he's getting there), J6 talks sense if you can decipher him and I miss Particle Physics x

[itsnoteasy]

Ha, old PP I miss him aswell, he got the frightens put on him, poor fella. I thought he would keep his head down for a couple of weeks and come back on but it never happened.
I didn't mean videos to help, but these posts saying , I don't beleive you can play ,prove it to me. If you want to do that the rule should be ,well you first.
P.s, Byrom is a crackin fella, one of life's true gents. J6 has said some really insightful things on here and introduced ideas that no one talked about until he included them, now they have become accepted as good practice.
