Gyms are all very well but it depends what type of fitness you're seeking e.g you are never going to get the type of fitness required to play a serious level of rugby or soccer or squash or tennis or run a marathon etc etc solely by working out in a gym. As for bodybuilding, that type of...

The first prudent step in any proposed personal loan against a guarantee in the form of transfer of ownership of a vehicle or a piece of equipment etc is of course to definitively establish if the person offering it as collateral actually owns the item in question at the time of the proposed...

The current game is not the most entertaining ever:smile:

:confused: Why would I need or even want to explain to you that archery is a highly athletic and fast sport when first of all I don't think archery is a highly athletic and fast sport and when in the second place I have never in any case suggested or implied that archery is a highly athletic and...

Tend to agree with most of that mate.

Alas.....absolutely nowhere remotely near it

Can't stand the game myself but badminton is a highly athletic and fast sport which has nearly 300 million regular players, international federations with more than 140 member nations, an excellent structure for both the amateur and professional rankings and professional prize money that pool...

Good post as always Terry but the above bit is just plain wrong. There are 8 board members of the WPA. They consist of:- 2 representatives of North America 2 representatives of Europe 2 representatives of Asia 1 reprsentative of South Africa 1 representative of Australia That can by nobody's...

Jay.......in case you don't already know it and to help perspective, in UK the number of people regularly playing American style pool (ie 9 ball or any other game on American equipment) is absolutely tiny when compared to the number of people playing uk style 8 ball on "mini snooker table" style...

Have little doubt that women would see nothing too attractive when looking at me, but since we're discussing looks have got to say that on looks alone I can't really see what the fuss is about. Shannelle isn't an obvious candidate for the title 'stunner'. She might get gaga stares in a pool room...

Don't know where you get your information but can assure you that with a couple of exceptions countries in Europe give no more support to pool as a sport than the USA does, less in many cases. Pool forums in Uk and mainland Europe are choc-a-bloc full of pool players doing exactly the same...

Dwight.......the WPA allow only one body to join and speak on behalf of each region. For North America it is BCA. Ed Smith of BCA is (or was, I don't know current status) on the WPA board BCA are supposed to be the voice of North America on matters appertaining to WPA. They are supposed to be...

By all means "take them on" but are you clear what the objectives of the proposed new 'org' would be and how you would plan to achieve those objectives? There isn't a lot of substance in the above post on the subject of future alternative means of identifying/recognising world champions for...

Just to emphasise some earlier comments......the highlighted bit above displays the wide difference in the underlying fundamental tournament prize money culture between golf and pool and why comparisons on that score are not really valid. Some people seem to get a bit blind-sided by thoughts of...

Ben Davies from Wales, a former uk style 8 ball world champion (federation rules) and Carl Morris from England, a former uk style 8 ball world champion (wepf rules). They can of course play American style pool too. You may recall Carl as holding an IPT tour card and Ben doing quite well in one...

I can clarify the unsure golf part of your question Fatboy and it has nothing to do with 'ranking'. In golf there is a world pro ranking list and a world amateur ranking list. They are completely separate things........but then again I don't think you actually meant ranking.......I think you...

I flew to Shanghai from Dubai for a pool event a couple of years ago, naturally checking in my cue case with two cues as hold baggage. I also had an old cue which I had relegated to reserve jump cue/spare carried loose in my checked suitcase. The cue case didn't arrive. I got it back eventually...

Understand how you're reading the wording Rich but I don't think in that post he actually meant there's anything bad about gambling on pool per se.....he probably meant that a daft bet like this, easily fixable by the bet offerer if he was so inclined, perhaps isn't the best type of pool...

No disrespect intended Rich R, but any assumption that a stakehorse like billychips might be in any way at all against gambling on pool, public or otherwise, is probably almost on a par with cocobolo cowboy's recent offering of advice to Gulyassy on how to become a pro :p :)

In most cases the insertion of the shortest word in the dictionary might just about solve this for both sides of the debate, for example ....... "Alex Pagulayan, a former world champion" :thumbup: "memikey, a ten time former world champion"
