I know a special someone who doesn't like being given advice at the table, so any bit of advice results in her shooting instantly, as soon as her bridge hand hits the table that CB is gone.. not even one lineup stroke.. The strategy doesn't win any games, It gets the point across not to...

I met a guy that claimed to be an old Indian fighter, He says he only fights old Indians ;-)

with the weight of the table it may shift over time. I never saw much shift in my 100 year old house with fir framing.. its done it's settling.. and the weight didn't seem to make any notable difference. In some buildings you might see movment after the table sits a while. If its a concrete...

so here's a rather long post and if its too long please just skip it.. tape has thickness but if you go into packing tape , its probably only .005" or so. So you can get it really close and then just be careful once tape is not there. on wood fillers I'll often use the tape to guide a...

Marriage is the most expensive way to get your laundry done for free ;-)

if you take your knitting you can say you have to finish a row, else you'll loose track of the number of stitches.. ;-)

with a wood project where part is proud and I didn't want to cause damage to the surrounding , Id use tape to build a little thinckness to support my sandpaper block. then when the repair area is down to the tape, go more carefully and at that point you are only dealing with the thickness of...

this thread reminds me of the "standard" advice being given by Jewlery stores relating to spending a certain proportion of your monthly earnings on an engagement ring.. ;-)

Its your choice how to handle things. int he header you used the word "combat" you got suggestions of taking longer than him, insulting him in different ways, using sarcasm, calling him names.. going for a dump and leaving him alone. hypnotizing him lol.. maybe it comes down to whether...

Of course , and I agree with that.. Actually there is just one set of snooker rules, so long as you are not playing by some modified rule book like "Chinese snooker" or "American snooker.'. my reference was to a Barry Stark video. Yes playing in a smaller club or one on one is different...

how about just ask him if there is a time limit on taking a shot.. fair enough to come to a resolution, right? if the time limit is 3 minutes and that's what he's taking then you have to suck it up because he's playing by the rules, you just dot like the set rule and feel it should be shorter...

here in Canada we all wear Canadian tuxedos...

two pairs of shorts in case you loose one ;-)

if you make racks to lock cues in , please don't build them so all one has to do is unscrew the cue to take it without even opening the lock , so many are like that.

if you spot bags of quickset concrete and cardboard boxes it might be a sign that something fishy is up ;-)

ive been contemplating making one for my 3/4 snooker cue and 8 ball cue so Im not packing two cases.. the leather ones seem nice as ridgid boxes are always prone to getting knocked over and a leather case is less of a problem, it just falls over with a "whap" rather than a crashing sound...

I wasn't aware the bottom is the butt end, my god you mean all this time Ive had it bass ackwards ? this might help me ! ;-)

so what about eye contact? you know how it is, people sit around the table, they have every right to watch, but sometimes it works out that an opponent or a partner is shooting right toward your eyes or you just happen to be standing in the shotline.. you probably know how it feels tohave an...

sounds like he's encouraging himself. maybe bowing out is the best option, policing the outside world is a lot of work ! It can be harder than just living in it.. I remind myself of that almost every day , and example is entering a bridge, some jerk speeds ahead to squeeze in a car ahead...

childish sharking aside, if a shot is valid and puts the shooter in a favorable advantage position I dont care if a ball only moves 1/4" it can still be a very well thought out and implemented shot, in snooker anyway. Yes it can frustrate an opponent, who is then often then seriously hooked...
