Hello Mark! I sent you a message earlier this afternoon but I can't see it on my end for some reason. So in case it didn't go through, I saw you posted the Barnhart widow for $525 shipped. I'd be a buyer at that price so let me know when you have a chance. Thank you very much! Jon

LOL, guess someone hit that report button, probably was Glenn

Thank you sir! That's right here in the Charleston Harbor at the jetties!

Good morning Jayman, I found your explanation of the APA "Equalizer" system very informative. I am curios as to if you know the 9-ball skill level numbers. They must differ from 8-ball because they go up to 9 and down to 1. Also, when figuring a players skill level, if a 5's win % is 90 the score that goes in for 9 of the matches is 3.1(unless a match averages less). On the loss, if the player loses the match 2-0 in 5 racks and 20 innings(0 defences just for example). Is the "4" scored or is it the innings in the racks he won in the match?

Total noob who loves pool regardless.

Hey sooiepigwoo!

Just noticed that you signed up for the Arkansawyers group and are new to AZBilliards. Do you shoot out of Old School Billiards in Fayetteville? I know they held a big tournament there recently.

Any interest in a trade for the Pechaeur? I have either a nice Lambros and a beautiful Samsara from a John Davis blank.

Big Tam .
I was trying my best to recall the first time I met Big Tam , young playing sports on the streets ? Sneakily jumping onto Dalmuir Golf Course for some golf ? At George Cairney's Bookmaker shop for a sly underage bet ? Sneaking into bars for Billiards and Darts ? I just can't remember the first time I met Big Tam but what a shooting star he was .....
I don't believe in religion but God Bless you Big Tam Miss you , we will meet again in the after world XXXXXX !

Timeline Part 8 .
It was good fun knowing you when I was young working here with Dad but after today seeing all those junkie needles and junkies at the riverside . I will never set foot here ever again , haven't done ever since and hopefully will never again . 2020 and I do not miss Dumbarton but never say never again and it just so happened my eldest son teamed up with a woman and their daughter , my first Grand daughter who just turned one years old live in Dumbarton so I guess the self oath will be broken and a visit to Dumbarton is on the cards soon lol ! Dumbarton was a good place once upon a time but just like everywhere else when drugs became freely available it quickly went downhill .

Timeline Part 7 ,
I said to my Lawyer how can a housewife who works but not according to the system and her lover who I've found out is a Long Distance Lorry Driver but doesn't exist to the system walk into Arnold Clark and get a £5,000 finance deal for a Ford Orion car ? And my Lawyer just shrugged her shoulders and said I don't know but we've got it on records and legally speaking it's nothing to do with you and your in the clear . What about my Savings account they ripped off , well because of this and that Mr Church you will have to pursue it yourself said my Lawyer , wish you all the best for the future she said . I swore self oath's that day as I left the Lawyers office and left to the nearest music store and bought a Small Faces Greatest Hits CD and a few cans of Skol Lager for the train home.

Timeline Part 6 .
Oct 98 and after way too many Lawyers letters , telephone calls and appointments the day has come and I'm on a Painting & Decorating job and said I can't make it tomorrow I've got my Divorce papers to sign and the guy said explain so I told him and he said here's a £20 bonus , that will pay for your fares and a few beers . come back and tell me what happened and I will buy you a few beers lol ! I turned up early only to find out the Lawyers office in Dalmuir had shut down and you had to go to their head office in Dumbarton so a quick phone call , train journey , before I say I swear what happens if ? This and that she said basically you cant work or marry or declare living with someone probably ever again , a quick think and it's where do I sign lol ! Just when you think that's the end of it all oh no .

Timeline Part 5 .
I got in one day from a Lawyers visit and walked into the kitchen and the CD/Tape Radio player has gone so I thought just put the David Bowie triple C/D on the HiFi but the discs were gone along with many others and items from the house but I'd locked the front door before I left and their is only one rat in this world capable of that and it's the dear wife who incidentally fell pregnant to her lover around the same time and thought like many others I wouldn't do anything about it , too easy going nature I am , welcome to the new world hahaha !I got in one day from a Lawyers appointment and the CD/Tape/Radio player has gone from the kitchen , went to play the David Bowie triple CD on the HiFI , but it's gone went through the collection , more gone , items from the house , gone and there's only one rat in this world who could do that and that's my dear wife who still had a set of house keys so I changed the locks .

Timeline Part 4 .
For sure 10 days and night solid on the lager I sobered up , unfit from more or less househusband with four children to nothing , time to start eating and get fit enough for the battles ahead . How do you feel son Mum asked , well it doesn't look as if I will be able to afford to work , suicidal I guess , Dad pipes in well you will be getting a paupers grave then so think about that , your asking questions that me and Mum don't know the answers to , go see my wee mate Peter , they call him the local bookworm , you will find him in the pub so I seeked out Peter , told him my problem and said similar things happened to his son but keep the house going , it's called access visits and gave me the address of a Lawyers and I followed his advice .

Timeline Part 3 .
Later on the dear lady wife sneaked/kidnapped the two daughters from the house , early hours of Sunday , two cops chap the front door and it's we are here to lift your two sons and I had to laugh and say their must be some kind of a mistake officers but come in anyway . We are here to lift your two sons and if you don't comply blah blah blah and I said why ? There has been a Domestic dispute , what's that officers ? Describe it . Their has been an arguement between yourself and your wife . Oh really officers why dont you chap the neighbours doors and ask them ? If you do not comply we will.....Monday post boom and all the reasons arrive , mostly financial , Tuesday DWP letter arrives via post your single mans benefit allowance is.....I never applied for that , must be some kind of a joke , Wednesday and there she is collecting the four children at the school gates for the last time .

Timeline Part 2 .
Of course when it came to the crunch through out the 13 year relationship and 7 year marraige the wife was nowhere to be found , the In law's turn up later at the hospital , where I was with the Mother In Law and I right so where's Susan and it's same old story , oh we don't know we've been trying to get hold of her all day through their crocodile tears and 5/6 hours later she finally showed up at the hospital and through her crocodile tears her excuse was she lost her purse and had no money to come to the hospital ! Wedensday , Mid Aug 1996 and my youngest daughter starts school and I never felt so proud and now that all four children are at school it's time to pick a trade for one of the many skills I picked up through those years but the dear lady wife had other ideas and the next Saturday the dear lady wife and her sister are sitting on the hill boozing Vodka and coke .

Timeline part 1
Aug/Sept 1995 and all of a sudden from playing a very high class , intelligent level of Pool and all of a sudden it just did not mean anything anymore - April 1996 Easter Saturday my eldest son around 11 years old at the time was playing football with friends , ball went out ot of the garden and he went to fetch it , bounced it , landed on the Main Street went to fetch it , BOOM hit by a car , a neighbour rushed in my house to let me know , not a sight for anyone to see amongst his many injuries was a broken pelvis , the wife just like the 7 year marraige was nowhere to be found just like the 13 year relationship nowhere to be found when it came to the crunch , out doing her own thing and it's round up the other three kids , make the phone calls for an emergency babysitter from the family and it's up to the hospital in the Ambulance with my son , they will give you painkillers and I will be with you in the X-Ray room nothing to worry about etc

Illness .
It can have hidden bonuses , too ill to spend money or smoke or drink etc , might as well stay in bed for as long as it takes until this passes , get up for Lucozade , water , milk and tea too ill to sleep , concentrate on some pieces of a jigsaw puzzle that were lost 25 years ago and I found some . Still not ate since that chicken curry etc but finally found some sleep Friday into Saturday .

The Optician's .
Judd Trump was excellent at The Players Championship Snooker as was Gerwyn Price at the Belgium Open Darts and late Sunday night , maybe early Monday morning I'm feeling hungry and there's a portion of Chicken Curry and a portion of Egg Fried Rice I bought on Thursday from Farmfood frozen shop but I put it in the fridge , I thought this might be a bad idea but I'm too hungry to be bothered , I'll take a chance but it's small cooking instructions , cant find the magnifying glass or cheap reading glasses so I guess it goes in the oven at this gas mark for that amount of time . Monday afternoon , severe stomach cramps , back ache , coughing until I'm sick thinking I knew that was a bad idea , this is either food poisoning or Coruna Virus but it cant be that , havent had a bottle of Coruna for weeks lol !
