Be careful what you wish for

[billyskank]

I don't have a TV. Generally I don't miss it, except once a year when the snooker world championships come round. (That's a game like pool but with a much larger table and different rules). So, I thought I'd be SMART this year, and ask my mum to record the final and burn it on to some DVDs for me.

The snooker world final is the best of 35 frames. It takes two days to play. She gave me nine discs. :o

Know what I'll be doing for the next MONTH.

[billyskank]

7. That is a fucking awesome car!

:D

[Rabrrrrrr]

11. If you get it, I get a ride!

[billyskank]

13. I'd drive it to the US and pick you up!

Any excuse to go out in a car like that.

[LaraMN]

[billyskank]

9. I think one shat on my car when I was washing it

a couple of months ago. Either that or a bird the size of a turkey.

[LaraMN]

14. People feed them fiber bars,

It's a sick, sick game.

6. I just wished for my own billyskank to play with.

*waits*

Awwww no billyskank. ;(

[billyskank]

8. billyskank lives on the wrong goddamned continent

:hug:

[RevolutionaryActs]

10. Booooooo, stupid wrong continent.

:hug:

[fizzgig]

15. hehehe

are frames games?

i know nothing of snooker

[billyskank]

17. A frame is one clearance of the table

Or, a clearance so far as there are not enough points left on the table for the other player to be able to win. When the balls are reracked, that is a new frame.

:hi:

[fizzgig]

19. gotcha

enjoy your dvds

:)

[NewWaveChick1981]

16. Enjoy it anyway!

:hi: :) :loveya:

[billyskank]

18. It's a fun game

I used to hate it because the snooker world championships always meant no Star Trek on tv for two weeks. :grr:

But nowadays I get a kick out of watching it on the TV. Which is odd, since it's such an unspectacular game. :)

:loveya:

[tjwmason]

25. Unspectacular...you might think that, I couldn't possibly comment.

:P

Now I should watch some coverage of the first test of the cricket season ;)

[billyskank]

26. I love the game

but I could not, in all honesty, claim it was spectacular to behold. At least with cricket you can crack the ball over the boundary for six.

:hi:

[tjwmason]

27. Boundaries in cricket are boring

they get in the way of discussions about pigeons on the out-field and cakes sent by ladies who live in Tunbridge Wells. :eyes:

But we're actually doing rather well at the moment, so I'm a bit nervous - wouldn't do for us to win matches...

[billyskank]

28. It really is so quintessentially English

No other country could possibly have invented cricket. And that is neither a good nor bad thing. It's just a thing. :D

[BarenakedLady]

20. I never get what a wish for anyway...

:cry:

And to me (this is me we are talking about, mind you) Snooker sounds mildly naughty. :evilgrin:

[billyskank]

22. ...

I don't usually either. :hug:

You fucking rule, you know that? :yourock:

:headbang:

:loveya:

[BarenakedLady]

23. Sure...

But I lost my tiara.

:wtf:

:hi: and :woohoo:

[billyskank]

24. Doesn't matter

the appreciation proceedeth apace nonetheless. :hug:

[graywarrior]

29. You're kinda like the guy whose stuff I processed at work today who

just bought every god damn episode of The Waltons and bragged about it.

Are you like that? Hmmmm? Freak?

[billyskank]

30. I *am* that guy whose stuff you processed at work today who

just bought every god damn episode of The Waltons and bragged about it.

I'm a freak. Deal with it.

:hi:
