Go play with ralph but sack hopkin off, he is a complete pool nit. Takes like 2 mins per shot.

lol sounds like a guy I took £100 off on Thursday afternoon. Race to 25 took 7 hours! He was so slow averaged out at 10 minutes per rack.

[ ] I oppose the use of shot clocks on slow players
10 mins per rack at 9 ball, I would of fallen asleep halfway through the game!

Me and hopkin played for a nifty at turny's place in luton. Oh my that was boring. Watching him chalk up, judge a shot, stand back up, walk round the table, get back up, then finally break. Smiley

He makes terry griffiths look like ronnie

lol.. i like this..
Sounds a bit like me.. Hate the 60 second clock in worlds rules tho...

Lol

I dont normally take that long

If I remember though you tried to hustle me?

Id had 15 pints, and you got a frame headstart in a best of 5?

Think Im aloud to take a little longer than normal to make sure I can focus.

hustle you? Sure have ever played pool seriously. Sure had picked up a cue before that day in about 3 years. We just agreed 1-0 best of 5 was fair.

You were standing and talking just fine buddy, although as Kev, Rooks and Turny can attest, you did gimply limp off home an hour later.

You're allowed (correct spelling) to take as long as you like, it's just ghey.

Massive hustle I couldnt see! Remember the first night in Vegas when you got drunk? I had drunk triple what you did that night.
I love to limp off, one thing that is more fun than drinking is sleeping.
Dont normally take very long though, maybe it was just too enjoyable, thanks for the hundo.

Any games lined up yet..?

Not until next week at earliest. I have a match tomorrow on Money Match TV (Vegas Bar, Wakefield on www.cuesport.tv) against a chap called Brendan Leigh, but the money had been arranged before any backing agreement here was in place, so no money is on this. However, it's another good chance for me to get experience, and money match TV is different to just putting your cash on the lights. The walk-on, the interview and the hazy smoke machines make it a different experience.

From next week onwards where I have control of everything, thats when the games start.

One match already arranged to be played at the Hurricane Room (St Albans) on Saturday March 5th vs Mark Lovell. £200 a man Race to 19 Winner breaks.

I'll have a chance tomorrow to arrange some games in wakefield after my match.

Going to bed, got an early start tomorrow gotta set out at 7.30 to make it to wakefield for 10am (I'm on at 11am!!!)

That would be nice in theory but I'm on the undercard match so don't get televised. Theres regular commentary on scores etc so theyll probably say how Im playing etc especially as they'll have interest as they from leicester too Smiley

Wooooooooooooooo!

Won on Money Match TV 21-10. Didn't play particularly well after going 9-1 up. Hard to focus 100% when you get that much of a lead and your opponent isn't firing any bullets at you. Lessons to be learned, but made a lot of great shots and have confidence that I can play again and have a lot more in the tank.

The guy I stuffed wants a 2-legged rematch starting in Manchester (Deansgate Rileys) and finishing in Leicester (Rack n Roll). Once I've had time to consider t&c's this match will happen, so that's a match to be arranged Smiley

I am playing a chap called Mark Lovell on Saturday March 5th. Venue tbc and I'm going to try to get him to play for more than £200. Will probably be played in Birmingham or Solihull. Can't be arsed to travel to St Albans for a £200 a man match especially when we both live in the Midlands!!!
