Title: Snooker Post by: Titch on Thursday, April 21, 2005, 15:01:04 Any snooker players on here? I used to play quite a lot and was not too bad but have not played for ages! I do like watching the snooker on tv and it was good to watch Williams get his 147 yesterday! cracking stuff!

Watching Williams was ace, saw a replay of it, top stuff. 8) Title: Snooker Post by: Zurich Red on Thursday, April 21, 2005, 15:36:10 Reached the semi-finals of the uni championship many years ago which could be somehow related to the crap performance in my exams. Highest break on a full-size table was about 40, but I once got 81 on a 6ft table at home.
Still watch on tv sometimes, but it's not the same without Alex Higgins. Title: Snooker Post by: flammableBen on Thursday, April 21, 2005, 19:23:20 Love the snooker, missed the 147 though. pissed me off a bit. Think they showed it on the highlights at the same time as MOTD was on last night.
Title: Snooker Post by: DMR on Thursday, April 21, 2005, 20:35:38 My highest break is 51 on a 3/4 sized table 8)

Mathew Stevens in the second round I think Title: Snooker Post by: oxford_fan on Thursday, April 21, 2005, 22:36:34 i love snooker, and pool. partly 'cos i'm ace at them.
my dad played jimmy white when he was younger, at the morris motors club in cowley. the whirlwhind kicked his arse and was only a teenager at the time. the snooker room at that club, which has 4 full size tables, is awesome. all members have a key for the door and everything's well-worn.

Is that what would have been known as the Social Club at Rover in the 90's, big place right in the heart of the works?

I only ask, because I won a quiz in this huge social club in Cowley works...about 30 teams .....we beat some bunch from British Biotech in a play off......sweet moment when the other two in the team and I went to get the prizes from some hockey player who'd won a gold medal in the Olympics,.removed the obligatory jumper to reveal STFC shirts.....some in the assembled bunch of egg heads realised and started booing, especially when we pose for pics for the local paper. |
