[John From London Town MBE]

May I ask why you pick such a long name?

I go under this pseudonym if I am on the local radio. I think it is quite funny, but that's my humour

[John From London Town MBE]

And may i ask what the MBE means?
Is it "Member of the Order of the British Empire"?

Of course you can....

The reason I added MBE to the end of my name was due to both Ronnie O'Sullivan & Phil 'The Power' Taylor being over looked in the honours list. I decided to 'bestow' a honour on my good self for the fun on things

Thanks April

I'm quite partial to a few night caps too......

[John From London Town MBE]

Hopefully he can be like you and have a passion for it!

I'm very new to the game...Played for a few years here and there but I got my first decent cue this Christmas and practicing 3 times a week now Gonna enter my first competition in January...Local District Open + Limited!

Oh I've a 2pc Ash Riley Cue with a 10mm Elkmaster tip Fitted the tip myself!

Hi Chris.

Firstly, good luck in your local district open comp. Enjoy yourself & let me know how you get on, I'd be interested.

Elkmaster tips are fine, no problem with 10mm tip either. Mine was a Blue Diamond 9mm, only because it suited me more with how I hit the ball. I found the Blue Diamond tips softer than Elkmaster, again, only because it suited how I hit the ball.

Thanks again,

John :snooker:

I need to know your standard first. Give me some background please i.e highest break, highest clearence, objectives / aims. The bottom line is with Snooker, is that you consider your mental state as important as your positional play.

Give me some background & we can take it from there.....
