Six large pockets is just too easy

you're*

It's hard to puff up how not stupid you are when you can't speak basic English

You're stupid for injecting irrelevance into a discussion around the best investor pool has seen in decades. You're stupid for being childish when grownuos are spending money on pool. Go away.
I was making a joke about the cultural rat hole out country is going down. As usual you're (sorry I was lazy and didn't use the auto type) only recourse as typical of liberals is to insult and mention the cliche of how you are educated and I'm not. You are a "grownup" and others aren't. All you know how to do is try to put others beneath you so you can have some false sense of superiority bc you have nothing else to stand on. So sorry I made fun of precious matchroom. I don't care how much money they make their product sucks. Now f**" off
 
No free speech? Not allowed to say I think homosexuality is wrong? Not fit societies narrative? This is the tyrannical road we are heading down

Good try though, someday you will speek English more gud

Pointing out that you brought something irrelevant to a UK sponsor is not an insult.

Go fly your flags somewhere else, this isn't the place

How did you quote a post that you cried to get deleted? Bizarre

If you walk into a pool hall calling someone an asshole, you might get punched in the mouth. Freedom of speech doesn't guarantee freedom from consequences or criticism
 
Oh no! I am now reconsidering my lifestyle choices after FunChamp informed me on a thread about billiard pockets that he thinks homosexuality is wrong. I'll get right on dumping my husband and start dating women. Maybe his daughter is single.
 
Note that the balls are racked at the other end of the table from the pockets. There is a game specifically played on these tables but I forget what it is called. These tables are named after that game. I saw one awhile back, must have been a few whiles, I don't remember where!

I saw a huge table too, maybe 10x20 or 12x24. It had an inner and outer set of four legs and best I recall eight pockets, four on each side! Tried to talk the tour guide into letting me hit a ball or two on it but the spoilsport wouldn't. Something about not an enhancement to job security. Hell this is a college student working a summer gig. What is a few more weeks to lay in the sun? I wanted to see the monster table again but when I was traveling a lot I often visited old homes and museums. I think I saw it in an old home but that still leaves dozens of possibilities.

the link explains the game “corners”

He's probably already been in there, buyer beware

I thought the game began with an E but then again, that is why I didn't post that, I don't remember. I vaguely remember it as french too but may be only because things are a bit backwards!(grin)

My first thought when I saw these tables was that they would be great for one pocket but after a little thought I think they would change the game too much. I do think the game they were built for might be fun. There were a lot of tables built that we would consider odd now. It didn't take much to entertain people when the other choice was watching television by candlelight!

Any more than one pocket and rail is wasteful.

I frequently get into arguments with liberals on various platforms. One of the things I get hit with over and over is that their main talking points if you disagree with them is to 1. insult you 2. tell you to go away and let the grownups make decisions 3. that I am not as educated as they are. All of these are just demeaning points to assert themselves as somehow superior and therefore in the right.
this is all you know how to do and shows your ignorance. Also I am not waving any flags. I don't care that Matchroom is British or Euro or whatever. I just don't like the product. I can express my opinions on things and have a different opinion than you. You are correct that there are consequences to free speech as you are not standing in front of me so you will never get to face those consequences yourself.

You sent me this as a PM and "closed the conversation for further replies"... so you can add bravery to your character traits, I guess??

Again, your ranting about "this country" doesn't make sense for a UK company, whether you care about that or not.

Also, why are you shoehorning in your hatred to a thread about pool tables? It's just bizarre. Really, just go away

"All of these are just demeaning points to assert themselves as somehow superior"

You are the one who jumped in with no provocation to get on some kind of moral high horse about your views on sexual morality. In a thread about billiard pockets.

guess you didn't read far enough back in the thread. I had posted a joke about something Matchroom could do. It was making fun of our current social climate. Another member then called me stupid over it. that set it off. Was not unprovoked. As far as my moral high horse, no. It is my view on that topic just as other people have different opinions. Folks are free to do what they please and tout whatever lifestyle they like. I am also free to disagree with it and will voice it whenever I feel like it. It's ok to be offended by something. it's a part of life.

Ah, classic. Say something terrible and then call it "a joke" when you are criticized.

The fact that people like you are allowed on this website is pretty gross.

"People like you" = people unable to shut the fuck up about their irrelevant personal problems and stay even remotely on topic, because they found a place where they have "free speech"

Just some casual, low-key gay bashing among friends.
 
Get rid of all the pockets and put a 4'' hole in the middle of the table, brings a new meaning to pocket speed.
For one pocket put a hole on each spot and call it two holes.
We can open this up for discussion at the next Matchroom meeting, make it colorful, I can see
Emilys nose opening now.
Make that a 4.25" hole and we can putt on it, too.
