We're still third out of the seven continents. Go North America!!!

A member of the royal family in Qatar has a little more pull when asking Exxon/Mobil for money than Barry Behrman does. Exxon/Mobil has a bit of an incentive to remain on Qatar's good side.:smile:

You keep mentioning this "8-ball out of turn gets spotted" rule as if it's standard in a lot of places. The four or five times you have mentioned it in this thread were the first four or five times I have heard of it, lol.

Most banks have credit cards (I think they are called secured cards) where you have to put money on the card before you can use it. They were designed to allow people with bad credit to get a credit card but they also allow you to use the card on the web without risking someone stealing the...

I don't have any problems playing with my 11.75mm OB2 either. If I was going to play tournaments I would probably get a thinner snooker cue but since I just play snooker for a change once in a while I prefer to just use the pool cue I am used to using.

I've been thinking of the same thing lately, though I was thinking of a 15-ball rack with ball-in-hand after the break. It would be nice to watch how the pros played the breakouts once in a while instead of setting them up with a safety. There would also be some strategy as far as whether or...

Did any Americans watching freak out when the announcer tried to compliment SVB by saying that his name doesn't even come up when you are discussing the top 10 players in the world but he's playing really well?:D

Where are you finding the match schedule? www.guinnessworldpool.com is fairly useless.

Not if they have to play each other twice before the finals.

My parent's cottage phone is still like that. Two long rings is their's and a long and a short is for their neighbour.:) They also still have a rotary phone in their basement.

Because they are the best players?

Are your saying that when you play open table after the break and call shot that you spot any balls that you sink on the break but don't take or sink but don't call? Otherwise I don't have a clue what being on a bar table has to do with it.

Be careful what you wish for, maybe it was Qatar or nothing.

I think it is the Qatar Billiard & Snooker Federation.
