We get ours from local supermarket - mostly by people who are too fat to walk, little lone drive a vehicle.

It just means that it costs less to be a billionaire in the US than the rest of the world.

I travelled to the opposite side of the globe from Sydney for a break. Then trekked to a contemporary art gallery at the end of land, only to find her art exhibit - John would have been the bread winner for sure.

I work with what's available. Anything else is miles away. But maple is a softwood and grain can be a problem. Birch sounds like a US thing - not common here. Anyway, for drumskin it comes down to hardness, ply thickness and the number of layers, right?

Mostly marine ply - leftovers from a camper fitout. I may have bought in some thin ply for the drum skin. Tried to keep the skins as thin as possible and as hard a wood as possible. One of them was pine which sounded too dull.

Yes, I made one after another, and yes, they are are uncomfortable to play, unless you sit in a chair with the cajun tilted back at you. The one in the middle is higher and a tad more comfortable. Size wise, this is how they usually come. I also have one with a built-in kick pedal. That is...

Is this the one in Norway/Sweden titled "Black on black"?

Yes, horses for courses (or should it be causes) - anything to promote the sport.

I haven't heard of that one. Is it very popular? Today, most cuesport associations seem to be using a ranking system of of some kind - most useful for seeding tournament draws. I understand how such systems can work having designed a similar thing into one version of BallStream scoreboards...

In our house the message is simple... "Hey bro, you want me to pee here or outside?"

This view only works works where one believes in a god and that their god is the only god.

"Who's god" is an abbreviation of "who is god" and nothing to to do with anyone, and regardless of whether a god exists or not that god/s can be no-one's until accepted as a god by them. So a god is not a god until one accepts that being as a god, right?

So true, especially when the earth is not flat and travels about 1,000 mph at the Equator.

With any method that you use, you still need to allow for throw which varies with speed/momentum of the cue ball and throw that is produced by english. On full sized snooker tables, cloth nap has an additional effect - making it possible to roll an object ball around an obstruction.

I used that word (****ing) in a support email to one of our regular clients and he questioned it because it was "bad language". When I explained that the word is in such common usage these days - only have to look at any film on Netflix - he excused it. It is so commonly used now that we can...

The most annoying chore that I find with forums is dealing with new signups for spammers and bots. How many new signups are you rejecting per day?

Forum Management today can be a ongoing and tedious chore, especially when targeted by spammers and other malevolents trying to exploit them. Considering the huge readership that this forum has, AZ must be doing doing right. I have used many different forum solutions over the years, and even...

I was asked to go play somewhere else a few times 🙃
