Just wondering if any of you play snooker. I'm a big fan of the sport for many reasons. It's not for everyone though and it's not often that you find an Aussie that plays it :winkextra:
I have played it, in fact I have a snooker table set up in the next room
Can't remember the last time I used it though.
That's great, is it a full-size table?

Loved the TV series Pot Black back in the 70's
Ditto Auto ..... I always loved watching Eddie Charlton play.

Eddie Charlton seemed like quite the player. Very few Australian players to excel at this game, too bad Eddie was always runner-up for world champion.

No, I'm not that rich.
It's 3.5 x 7 feet.

Thanks uni, some fond memories there. There was an Aussie from earlier days by the name of Walter Lindrum who was just about unbeatable at Billiards. His nephew Horace wasn't bad as well.

That's some great footage Auto, love the continuous double hit walk along the back of the table. I remember the 1981 series of stamps that included the one with Walter on it.
