Billiards and Pool

[Silver Bear]

Did anyone else spend a lot of time playing Billiards and Pool at secondary school?

We were lucky enough to have a Billiard Room.

Pocket billiards perhaps �� Although we had a recreation area I can't remember a pool table

I think that Meera Syal try to put the other version of Pocket Billiards into Room 101.

There was a "unit" at the Comprehensive School which could have been a youth club thing which either had a snooker or pool table there.

I'd like to go to a school with a billiards room!

I used to find myself watching it on tv, but they must be hiding the coverage at hours I don't watch or something now. There were some amazingly skilled players.

I've not played much nor been any good myself, although there was a billiards computer game I used to like playing. It had authentic sounds and looked like a real green felt table. I'd forgotten about that game until just now. You could type in the name for the computer run opponent and I would type in Hitler.

Nothing like beating old Adolph in a game! Did the same with a bowling game.

Pity that billiards or pool were not part of PE lessons - after all, they were sports, weren't they?
