I am at the back by the machines

I go into town, ok/ See ya at 7pm!

That would be awesome. I look forward to meeting you!

Hi People! I am going to the World Cup on Wednesday. Staying at Norcross, GA. Anyone want to play for a couple of hours, say 7-9PM at Mr. Cues II (or a place of your choice) Tuesday night? Cheers. Craig

Hi People. Left my shaft to get a new cue tip at the pool hall on Monday, prepaid with instructions to text when done. Went back Thursday, was not done. Going back tomorrow, Tuesday, hope the local guy who doesn't do them on site has it done. If it is not there Tuesday, what do you guys suggest...

Hi People! I may be relocating to Winston-Salem later this year. Could not find much online about good pool halls and good leagues in the area. Anyone in that neck of the woods have some insight to share, please? Thank you.

Yes, even in sport like horse racing where action is constantly happening, my best race calls are where I slow everything down just a tad and knowing the value and duration of a quiet "beat" in the action can sometimes make all the difference. Email me: britishracecalelr@gmail.com if you ever...

slide13: I appreciate your points. I did not mention names as it would be unfair to do so. I know how difficult commentating can be and especially if you are doing it as a hobby and your main work in life is away from broadcasting and journalism, it can be even tougher. Many moons ago when I...
