Snooker? Anyone?

Hey there. I've posted the other day on youtube something I recorded myself doing and I figured might have someone on this forum who also enjoys playing some snooker, so here it goes:

I'm a massive Mark Selby fan. I actually joined a snooker club in West Lancs the other day. Nice video, a far far superior game to pool. They play it in Brazil where I have not long been aboard a ship. Their version is a bit crappy though. Most of us went to the 'sinuca' clubs to pick up floozies.

oh, so you're brazilian too?

Snooker to me is the Queen of all balls-'n-table games, superior in complexity and difficulty to Carambolage, also much more attractive to be watched, what I occasionally do on EuroSports Channel. I like it very much and I admire the skills and laser-eyes of the top crowd, but I myself - I suck at it. Standard 8-Ball is good enough for me, and that I actually could play quite decently, once a long time ago...

Chess and snooker - two must-have things for the exile on that isle.

There was a time when I hated Snooker. The TV channel EuroSport would broadcast it live...the problem is that the players usually didn't stick to the time schedule and played 1.5 hours longer than they should have....and there I was wanting to watch the world rally championship that was always broadcasted AFTER the damned Snooker match had finished.

Well Eurosport doesn't broadcast the WRC anymore (at least not on free tv) so now I can enjoy Snooker.
