Tourney: UK Champs Manchester 17-18.04.2010

I am more of a 'pocket billiards' man.

hush, hush Emmet, you'll get a girlfriend soon…

optimism > reality

It's on. I'll strap a cue to my bike...

I seem to remember Jon and Lolchan tied at pool, and I held up the London side by taking the double-or-quits game, so we're currently even.

I'll be taking up a load of t's - special tourney price of £12

Sweet!

cool i want a grey one!

whoa..... save yourself for the tourney tees...!!!

I'm getting a grey one Ste, you should get a red?
Ive been waiting for one of these for like 8 months

Yes, but you'll never live down the embarrassment of me practically 8 balling you in true tom cruise style, then begging for double or quits. I felt a bit sorry for you, so i let you win the next game, couldn't have you going home with no money at all ;)

ha, chill reeta!

Definately after one of the hoodies if your bringing them up buddy. Gutted I missed out on those before

Yes, but you'll never live down the embarrassment of my tom cruise style.

All true. You are the pool king. See you on the polo court.

^^^ Chan wears platform shoes?

Any of you mancs know if the Arcadia Sports Centre has WiFi? I will need internet access for the scoring spreadsheet, as it's in GoogleDocs. If not, we'll have to use excel, but it doesn't do the ranking properly, cos it's shite.

I doubt it does, it's pretty ghetto

3G dongle Gabes?

Can you turn your iphone into a modem?

Not without jailbreak I think.

Badly worded this is.

Pfft, android ftw.

I have a 3g dongle, but it doesn't work.
