    Don't rely on a machine to do your translating. They simply cannot handle it. Your example shows that clearly. The Danish source is fine, except I would have expected "Vi har et kæmpe udvalg...", i.e. I also question the function of At in the sentence.

    I'd just like to say concerning the APA

    Ms. Lee really does seem to believe in what she's doing in supporting the APA. I'm guessing she's wealthy enough that money is not a major consideration in her decision. I've seen interviews with her talking about it, and a video of her travelling around meeting APA operators and players. AFAICS...

    So you think you can play Snooker?

    I did once, until I discovered pool, and realized I was relatively much better at it :)

    I'd just like to say concerning the APA

    Yup. Even Jeanette Lee supports it now. It must be doing s-th right.

    Flot. Jeg vidste ikke, at snooker var så kendt i Danmark. Selv ejer jeg den PredSport køen - den er alletiders!

    mid missouri 9ball tour

    Was at the MO state 10-ball Barbox tourney a few months back. The turnout was quite high - 60 or more players I believe. Matches were a race to 6. The 10-ball only counted off the break if it went into a pocket other than the 2 corner pockets near the rack. 10-ball was called, no other balls...

    Do you have a problem with playing against members of the opposite sex

    Well, I tend to feel worse about beating a woman than beating a man. I don't know why, I guess we're just taught that defeating a woman at something is ungentlemanly conduct. The other night I played 8ball league against a chick. She was rated the same speed as me (SL5). Not only that but she...

    where to watch world cup online?

    Dude, this thread should be in the Non-pool Related forum. There's enough bloody football-mania out there (and forums to discuss it) without it gatecrashing the billiards forums.

    mid missouri 9ball tour

    I agree with Johnners - players not likely to win anything (e.g. me) shouldn't have to pay much at all to enter.

    Methods to remove sticky feeling on cue

    I use a billiard glove. And bought a cue with a sports grip. It stopped me worrying about doing anything to my cue's shaft or butt forever.

    A 10-ball tour would be even more interesting, IMHO.

    APA call at cities. U be the judge

    This problem is easily resolved for less than $10. Buy one of the markers shown in the JPG below. The team together funds one of the below (very cheap option), or the individual buys one for him/herself and lends it when necessary...

    Your Favorite Book for 8-Ball

    I didn't think there was anyone arguing here? We're all agreed he writes awesomely on 8-ball and pool generally.

    Should there be a new aiming sub forum?

    Don't forget the Metropolitan and District Galaxy-Forming Qualifiers :)

    Should there be a new aiming sub forum?

    Even better, create stickied, open (ongoing) polls for each aiming system. To be answered by those who have actually tried the aiming system in question. Therefore based on experience, not merely opinion/bias/hearsay. "Did using aiming system X lead to a (tangible/noticeable/significant etc.)...

    Your Favorite Book for 8-Ball

    I wish this were true, but a good friend who has run his own academic publishing business for many years tells me it is not... As for the proofers missing things many of us spotted at once, I'd be tossed out on my ear if I made such oversights in my (related) profession. And if their eyes...
