Can the same 'yellow onto red into pocket' shot be done then??? You nominate which colour you are, and from that point onwards you have to strike your own colour first in all circumstances 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has created quite the heated debate amongst the just off-shift nightshifters offshore. Ah no sorry, I thought your double pot thing happened with no balls potted. Personally, we've always played that whichever ball you strike first must be the colour that you pot or its a foul, but I have a nagging feeling the official rules say otherwise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought everything was available until something was potted. I shall await confirmation from at least 10 posters from this post forth of which way is correct before I concede anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwullie Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Actually when you think about it, you must be able to strike a yellow to knock a red in before anything is potted. Think about the break for eg - you will often pot off the break, and there's never any consideration given to which colour ball was struck first in that circumstance @Hedgecutter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 If you pot the black from the break, you win BTW. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You each have your own table and when it's your turn to play you have to manually position your balls (Kenneth is asleep) to match those of your opponent before taking your shot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I was at five sisters zoo today. Their lions are fucking ENORMOUS. Stood right at the fence and one of them was sort of roaring. The noise that comes out of a lion close up is genuinely terrifying. Walking towards the enclosure I thought it was a speaker playing lion sounds. Phenomenal animals. Could not take in square go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The patchwork nature of that place definitely gives it a Joe Exotic vibe. The entrance where the house is has a very "travellers built a zoo in their yard" feel about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 ^^ All joking aside, there was at least one Lion there which I think could have probably carried me, at least long enough for a photo, which would have been fucking glorious 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
