Papers...? How 20th century. (grin) I still have your original pics of mine, but I was wondering how the other two came out.

Incidentally, I have one of the 3 (?) cues that came out of that collaboration - anybody have any idea what happened to the other two? Thierry? I'd love to see pics...

Cues Currently... 3 Layani's (including my playing cue) 1 Pechauer Pro 1 Willee break cue 1 Tucker/Layani Collaboration 1 Barry Cameron (wife's playing cue) 6 1-piece Dufferin house cues

How about the Ho Hummers... You could tell the APA folks you're only so-so players...

There's a team of young Pinoys hereabouts called "Cougar Bait". How about 'Carom Cougars'? Or are you too young to qualify?

I don't think you'll see any measurable difference. Last time I visited the factory in Mississauga (around 10 years ago?), Ernie was already only making Canadian maple shafts and simple butts. The fancier cues were already being built and imported from China for both Predator and Falcon.

I met a snooker playing Scotsman (Robert) here in the GTA area who told me the following story about Alex 'Hurricane' Higgins. Apparently Robert was playing in the Embassy snooker championships at the CNE in Toronto and got to play Higgins. In their conversation after losing quite badly, Robert...

I'll tell Ortelia that you're still alive. She remembers you fondly... It's still there, although moribund. FL finally gave up crapping in it. Some of us still monitor it and post from time to time but it'll never be what it was. Most of the old faces have left for AZ or the Jimbo Army site.

Me neither... Um... where are you living now?

My personal Player A 'geometric' Layani. Softest feeling cue I've ever found - you'd have to pry it from my cold, dead paws...

The Bobley Match The Bobley Match (Part 2) "Did I tell you I was the Irish..." I started. "Shut the f*** up." he said. * Shamus was peering around the bar. "Can I ask the folks in the bar for suggestions?" he said to Charlie. "Sure..." said Charlie. "How about using Mrs O'Shaunessy?"...

The Bobley Match The Bobley Match (Part 1) I was sitting in the old Fidget & Fiddle pub one day just minding my own damn business, as it were, when that poltroon Shamus McFinney swaggered in. Shamus has to be one of the most annoying people on God's green earth... and one of the most...

Try... http://www.sphericalarts.com and send a note to one of the 'contact' IDs shown. They might be interested in a pre-1905 Brunswick Balke Collender table...

That shouldn't be a surprise. Alex is a Canadian citizen with a Canadian passport and has been listed as representing Canada in prior World Championships. He was, of course, born in the Philippines.

http://www.lespotbilliard.com/e/specials.htm As far as I know... see above. We play CPA so pay the league prices.

Think about not doing it at all. You don't need it. FWIW, my table has a foot-spot and a head-spot (drawn and filled in with a black sharpie, they are the size of a dime). Nothing else.

I'm not surprised at all. I've had a Willee break cue for 5 years or so (I can't recall exactly when he made it) which has been used by everybody in my CPA team as a breaker for a while and despite the abuse it's still solid. Matter of fact, whenever one of my pool buddies comes over he...

Reminds me of one of my old Hamster Tales, Joey... http://davidthehamstermalone.blogspot.com/2007/11/way-truth-and-wife.html

Those pics were taken a long time ago... the place and the ownership has changed quite a bit... my wife and I play in CPA leagues there 2-3 times a week. The Diamond (actually the only table with blue felt) is the first table on your left when you come in. It usually has a 'reserved' sign on it...

He dropped in on us at a GWN pool tournament back in 2001. Hadn't been playing much even at that point. Last I heard of Ghosst was in July of 2004 and he was back in Canada... Calgary, AB I think. He was married and had lived in the UK for 3 years or so before coming home. He still owns the...
