It wasn't a joke, it was true. I'm a shit snooker player and potting three balls in a row is a personal best for me. The fact that the middle one was the black did technically mean that I was on course for a 147, but the second black was beyond me. So yes, I had a break of 9. You may now point and laugh with derision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to dispel the myth but it was actually the Brake Club POOL Competition you playing were in.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically you were on course for a 147 after potting the first red. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I was shit at pool as well but this was definitely a game of snooker. Trying to remember where it was - might have been the club at Jock's Lodge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but when the black and the second red go in it starts to be a little more likely. In my case, from a billion to one down to about a million. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to remember where it was - might have been the club at Jock's Lodge. True coincidental story - my highest ever break was in JP's at Jock's Lodge one night after training. 4 reds, each followed by a black. I was never on a 147, though. I also had a brilliant free night there when my pal was given two extra tenners from the ATM outside before we went in. That was enough to pay for all our drinks and snooker all night long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonD Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 The only way to pull off a lockdown afternoon 'quickie' with their 8-year old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony with a Mars Bar and tell him to report on all the street activities. He began his commentary as his parents put their plan into operation: 'There's a car being towed from the car park,' he shouted. 'An ambulance just drove by!' 'Looks like the Andersons have company,' he called out. 'Matt's out on his bike and his mum is telling him off' 'Looks as if the Sanders are going into full isolation!' 'Jason has had his skate board taken off him!' After a few moments he announced, 'The Coopers are having sex!!' Startled, his mum and dad shot up in bed! Dad cautiously called out, 'How do you know they're having sex?' 'Jimmy Cooper is standing on his balcony with a Mars Bar.' 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
