Basic Do's and Dont's in pool

[poolqjunkie]

actually i have funny story. saw a mate of mine last night who never knew i had the club when i did and he said he had a pool singles comp there one night. first time he'd ever entered so he was bit nervous.

he turned up at my club (i wasn't there), and apparently there was some bloke giving a bird one on the pool table! when they finished someone turned to him and said 'right, you're on mate'

true story. i saw a lot myself and was bit annoyed i missed that one.

What is "giving a bird one"...or should I ask this in a PM?

By the way, is it considered bad form to leave chalks all over the table on the rail?
I was told it is considered rude if you do not leave a piece of chalk on the rail after you finish shooting in US pool, but it is rude to do so in snooker.

Once in Vegas me and my buddy were looking for some entertainment. The cab driver told us about the green room, which is a place where couples would go and do it in public before strangers. There are two pool tables on the lower level, he told us lots of hot couples would do it there in front of everyone. When we were there, we only saw some very oversized black couples. The entry fee for the green room was over $100 for two people, would have been cheaper if we were a couple, but we were both guys. It was a serious rip off.

Good job your not playing my family....cues broke, glasses smashed, table ripped

Over a period of 5 years we were banned from 3 clubs for insane anger at losing

Must say in last 2 years I haven't done anything near that again but 1 family member is as bad as ever. I won't take the rap for him if he gets himself banned.

Anyway :P we have broke every one of your rules on that list

i should play you at pool then you have a lot to say on who is the best ever snooker player etc i wonder how you would get on against me.

it doesn't sound very disciplinated ( don't know a better word ) but i like the rooms where i can smoke. Obviously i don't smoke while i'm playing a shot, but when i'm waiting my opponent i like to smoke.

In my youth I used to put the lit cigarette in my ear when I played a shot, looking back - what a twat!
