He is the admin of a few cue related groups on FB.

That’s handy for his Parris cue sales...he’s not stupid then:biggrin:

[Delphi]

got offered near on a monkey for it

Just wondering, what does this statement mean exactly?
I'm not native English and never heard this saying before.

[DeanH]

Monkey is slang for £500

supposedly from soldiers returning from the Indian sub-continent where a 500 rupee note which had a picture of a monkey on it.

[John Flaf]

Hello Delphi it's what is called 'Cockney Slang' here in UK a monkey is £500.00

Edit: quick draw mcgraw Dean beat me to it

[The Artful Dodger]

I believe he does, since approx Nov17

[Delphi]

No i asked him 2 years ago when we were at a tournament and he was already using his Ton Praram then, the one that he won the wc with and that got lost for a while.
He had this one for a few years now, no idea what he used before that.
