Fuck! I'm out! Jel is well good!

(Tom, Lixi told me she didn't want to play though...)

― Sarah (starry), Wednesday, 11 December 2002 15:38 (twenty-three years ago)

What time is kick off? Or cue-off or whatever it's called in Barillards.

Is it like The winner of me and Sarah plays the winner of Lixi and Tim?

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 11 December 2002 15:40 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh well if people decide they don't want to play their opponent gets a bye, or their place gets taken by another intrepid player.

― Tom (Groke), Wednesday, 11 December 2002 15:46 (twenty-three years ago)

Tim should not be allowed a bye at any cost!

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 11 December 2002 15:47 (twenty-three years ago)

Some interesting matchups here, I'd say. Of course, I'm only an impartial observer;>

PH34R MY 33R13 P0W3RZ

How hot is Pete?

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Wednesday, 11 December 2002 15:58 (twenty-three years ago)

At Bar Billiards, I mean. Obv he's an all round sizzla.

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Wednesday, 11 December 2002 15:59 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't think you have an awful lot to ph34r Dr.C. You knowledge and skill at bar-room games will almost certainly excede mine - and I already tip you to be red hot streak to the final.

― Pete (Pete), Wednesday, 11 December 2002 16:21 (twenty-three years ago)

I doubt it Pete - unless we change to darts ;)

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Wednesday, 11 December 2002 16:29 (twenty-three years ago)

I think me and Andrew is a pretty hot first round clash! I think we can both play a bit, and we are very old friends, so things are clearly building up for one of us to suddenly turn evil and start a major new rivalry.

I am missing the WWF.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 11 December 2002 21:13 (twenty-three years ago)

I can't get to the pub until abt 7.30pm, unfortunately.

I can play a bit of pool, but have never played bar billiards in my life, so pl. don't expect any mad table skillz.

― Andrew L (Andrew L), Thursday, 12 December 2002 10:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Skidmore v Littlefield IS indeed a tasty clash. Will Andrew's love of jazz lead to some cunning improvization on the table? Will Martin's suit give him the psychological edge?

What about Starry v Jel - Steady Sarah v the Hanwell Hurricane?

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Thursday, 12 December 2002 11:19 (twenty-three years ago)

Skidmore/Littlefield and Baran/C are the plum ties alright but connoisseurs should take note of the potentially fascinating Tunnicliffe/Carsmile showdown.

I fear that the Mentality Towers representatives may be all out in round one.

― Tom (Groke), Thursday, 12 December 2002 11:22 (twenty-three years ago)

I'll either play good or really really bad. And start trying to do chip shots over the pegs and end up ripping the table and getting thrown out of the place.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 12 December 2002 11:44 (twenty-three years ago)

i'll be there WITH CAMERA (and poss. boyfriend) bwahahaa :):)

― katie (katie), Thursday, 12 December 2002 13:12 (twenty-three years ago)

you better keep that camera safe from snooker cues hurled in fits of rage!

I'll bring my camera too! Scanned and posted by Wednesday! hahahah!

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 12 December 2002 13:23 (twenty-three years ago)

come on rickyt, do yer worst (no, really, do your worst ;))

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Thursday, 12 December 2002 14:09 (twenty-three years ago)

I am far too hepped up on caffeine, work stress and brane fog to contribute to this thread.

― RickyT (RickyT), Thursday, 12 December 2002 14:29 (twenty-three years ago)

It's tonight! How exciting! Will some technobod post the scores live I wonder??

― Tom (Groke), Friday, 13 December 2002 11:49 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm going to be there a bit early, if anyone else is. post here if you are, otherwise I'll go shopping.

(I shouldn't be posting from work but hey! HI everyone)

― chris (chris), Friday, 13 December 2002 12:07 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm aiming to be there by 5 all being well, but that might turn into half five if either my work meeting or Xmas shopping overrun.

― Tim (Tim), Friday, 13 December 2002 12:14 (twenty-three years ago)

About half five for me too - I was going to post something just like Chris did above. If Tim and Chris are to be there early, I won't hang around. We might get a warm-up game or two in.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 13 December 2002 12:23 (twenty-three years ago)

i'm not going to be there until about 7.30, does this mean i have to withdraw?

― gareth (gareth), Friday, 13 December 2002 12:27 (twenty-three years ago)

I am aiming for 5pm too.

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 13 December 2002 12:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Me too, Eurostar permitting, i.e. I'm heading off right now!

― Jeff W, Friday, 13 December 2002 13:03 (twenty-three years ago)

Don't withdraw Gareth, I'm sure we can work something out (of course it's not my place to make this promise but, hey, y'know etc).

― Tim (Tim), Friday, 13 December 2002 13:09 (twenty-three years ago)

My eerie presence gets a bye!!!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 13 December 2002 13:24 (twenty-three years ago)

There may be live coverage if I can get my PowerBook to communicate with my phone (which I haven't tried yet). I've left my webcam at home though, or it would have been a real possibility.

So, how does one play Bar Billiards?

(and esp. If one is only there in spirit?)

― Graham (graham), Friday, 13 December 2002 13:27 (twenty-three years ago)

Well we don't need to do a second round draw, we could fix it so that the the first two first round games play straight after etc etc, so it shouldn't be a problem.

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 13 December 2002 13:39 (twenty-three years ago)

**There may be live coverage...**

F@ck no!!!

I'll be there just before 7, so will be ready to play Pete anytime after that.

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Friday, 13 December 2002 13:47 (twenty-three years ago)

I'll be there for 5ish too so can play Chris after an initial 'steadier'.

― Tom (Groke), Friday, 13 December 2002 13:50 (twenty-three years ago)

I'll be there sixish. My guts are already shrieking.

― RickyT (RickyT), Friday, 13 December 2002 14:02 (twenty-three years ago)

I'll be there a little after six.

(Probably to late to ask but Gareth, can you bring my bracelet?)

― Graham (graham), Friday, 13 December 2002 14:09 (twenty-three years ago)

I'll be there fourish "practising"

― chris (chris), Friday, 13 December 2002 14:14 (twenty-three years ago)

jolly good, i should be there for half past, cockfarming computer permitting...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Friday, 13 December 2002 15:08 (twenty-three years ago)

No bloody live coverage!!

I am merry already following office lunchtime drinking...

Yikes.

Hope to be there for sixish.

― Sarah (starry), Friday, 13 December 2002 15:15 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm leaving nowish so I'll be there at half four now, but I'm flagging big time, I need a "livener" like you wouldn't believe.

― chris (chris), Friday, 13 December 2002 15:24 (twenty-three years ago)

I'll be there quite early, going to London in half an hour, have to pick up the ILX comp. Might go by bus!

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 13 December 2002 15:32 (twenty-three years ago)

so might not get there til 9.

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 13 December 2002 15:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Gut shrieking reaching intolerable level. ETA now more like half five.

― RickyT (RickyT), Friday, 13 December 2002 16:01 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm setting off as soon as I finish this piece I'm writing.

― Tom (Groke), Friday, 13 December 2002 16:03 (twenty-three years ago)
