Hi everybody,
Just want to introduce myself, I'm a massive snooker fan, 30 years old, having started playing over a decade a go. I had a long break from snooker, as work and relationships took there toll. Joined a local snooker league a couple of years back and am now putting in the pratice to improve again.
Some interesting facts about me, include that I worked on the World Championship Snooker PC, PS2 and XBOX games as an artist for Blade and Codemasters and as a result got to meet many of my heroes, including Ronnie, Hendry and even wrote and recorded commentary with John Virgo.
About 3 years ago I bought my first home, under the agreement with the missus that it had a room large enough to put a full-size snooker table in it! Believe it or not it can be done if you are fanatical enough about it. All the estate agents I talked to said I couldn't do it, and that I would need to spend quarter of a million to get what I was after. Don't let people put you down, as we're not rich, it was our first house and I've got the full size table now in a room which used to be an off-licence as part of the house. Two small bedrooms, but with a full size table!
As a result I've knocked in two total clearances from the line up 131 and 126, and I get to practice every day. Lucky so'n'so heh.
Anyhow I'm after a friendly practice partner to help improve my game in match play. Anybody living in the the Manchester/Warrington area who enjoys playing as much as me let me know. I'd say I was average ability and would relish the chance to practice with a better player. I knock in 90's and 100's off the line up every day, and manage 30's generally in matches with a current match best of 48 last year. If you think you could help me bring my practice game to matches then I'd love to hear from you; practice, have a few drinks and talk snooker.
