), i seem to get better after a few pints.

Of course. There are certain times you have to swerve shots.

On a pool table?

MikeH · July 11, 2003, 13:49

Yep, you're a few balls up, snookered on your last ball and the natural angles for the escape are covered. It's easier than a multi cushion escape sometime.

Plus if you can pot a ball off a swerve you look good which is surely 90% of the point.

Oh and if anyone's in London on the 7th we've got a gig at the Archway Tavern, opposite Archway Tube station.

A spot of trigonometry helps though

A *bump* for rj's attention

red_jon · July 11, 2003, 18:04

Hehe, I'm game, or should be...

*End Is Forever* · July 11, 2003, 19:16

Would be good to see you Jon.

red_jon · July 11, 2003, 19:17

It would be good to meet everyone

Is there a list of who can make it?

*End Is Forever* · July 11, 2003, 19:20

There is somewhere on the thread...

red_jon · July 11, 2003, 19:22

Okey-dokey. Well sounds fun - I can't stay v late though, gotta get the last train back to Eastbourne.

Can you believe Cockney and I go to the same uni and never got back to meeting up? Must be as lazy and disorganised as me

Hm, I think it's more side than swirve. A lot of people really whack the white and by doing so cue across the white and also have a tendency to pull the cue back after contact.

Thankyou

*End Is Forever* · July 11, 2003, 19:42

I've probably missed a couple of people, so apologies to them.

With it a Friday, may be difficult to find somewhere with a free pool table.

Mods, please don't close this one. It won't last much longer anyway.

Solly · July 12, 2003, 08:23

It'd be best to start a new one I think. Get all the details together in the first post, etc. Possibly a map..

finfahey · July 28, 2003, 14:25

If you don't mind a mere Settler coming along, I'd love to pop by and meet a bunch of international CTPers (I live in the Smoke, so it's easy for me).

Provost Harrison · July 28, 2003, 14:33

There is a newer thread for this finfahey, this thread has got too long and poly mods have a thing about threads over 500...

Zopperoni · July 28, 2003, 15:08

Yes, the discussion is being continued here:
