Well lets have a look at funny side of pool, the humour and memories which we all must have over the years.
Well i have a few that spring to mind, that when were out and remenise and look back on, these ones always come up, i'll start off with these few, i'm sure there are a few i've forgot, but may come back to me, sometime here we go then.....
1)
Blackbird are drawn at home against the Red Lion (Garsington) from the 4th Division in the Thursday night team ko, well it is down to the last and deciding match and it is up to me to get the boys out of the **** (especially the 2 who had lost) well i underestimate my opponent (heard that excuse before?) and it's down to the last frame with the winner to see there team into the next round, well its near the end of the frame, and i'm having a shocker, my opponent pots his last colour and has landed perfectly on the black that is how can i describe it....? the black is about 10" away from the corner pocket, and equally aprox 10" from each bottom/side rail, the cue ball has landed dead straight about another 6" behind the Black and in line with the Pocket, the Red Lion & there supporters are jumping up & down 'celebrating' a shock win, my team-mates are looking at me calling me everything under the sun, when my opponent gets down to easily pot the Black to start the celebrations for the visitors, there jumping up & down, hugging each other............ but wait the White ball is still moving very slowly towards the pocket where the Black had just entered, theres a pause in time, everyone i think is still looking when unbelievably the white is on the lip of the pocket.............and DROPS IN...................I have just clinched us victory, the Red Lion are stunned, we start Celebrating BIG TIME, every one of us is in agony with Stomach ache from laughing, eventually 5 mins later the Lion boys join in and we all have a laugh......................who went on to win this competition that year? Yes US.
2)
just a quickie, we just played County Snooker (above the Cowley Workers) and afterwards 2 of there players took advantage of a Free table Julian Cramp & Cue Isty, not sure who offered the bet, but there was money at stake................a £1, well my team are having our after match grub, and this game is about to finish with Cue Isty potting the black to win, we watch as Julian hands over his money, it turns out he only has 67p we all piss ourselves laughing as he hands over his coppers to the winner, Cue Isty was not amused.
3)
Yarmouth also has good memories, were out in the pub and were in luck, the three ugliest 'birds in Yarmouth are eyeing us up, me Trev & Beech, well the looks across the pub are exchanged, smiling & gurning, when i give Trev the cue (excuse the pun) to Kiss Me, tongues and all which we do for what 30 seconds at least were going at it, i think i felt Trev touching my Bollox, well after we finished we looked at the girls, and there faces had changed, they thaught they we eyeing up some 'young free & available blokes' when they suddenly realised 'we were queer' as they cum/come, well we did end up pulling them in the end, would you believe.
4)
Another Yarmouth trip, were sitting in the pub, and Trev returns back from the toilet, and sits next to me, after a few minutes i smell a stensh and all of a sudden i lift my hand to find a Load of Trevs Mushy (Bachelor Mushy Peas Type) Pooh on my hands & down one of my Trouser legs, which at the time i'm wearing my Matinique Casual Pale Green Trousers, Trevs got all this Pooh on the back of his Jeans, he'd been in the bog, and instead of trying to have a dump in the bowl he thought it would be funny to do it on the floor next to the bowl, but in doing so he Crapped on his own jeans unaware it was hanging off his back, well i'm off into the bogs to clean mine off my hands & Trousers, i emerge out of the toilets with my Green trousers One Leg is completely soaked and is shade more like Bottle Green, while the other leg is the dry Pale Green. Also later on in the night were in a nightclub, and Beechy is wearing his cool denim jacket with pockets like jeans type are, well i'm hammered and call Beech over, and accidently Puke up filling his pockets up, as he leaned over to me his pockets opened up, pure accident, honest.
Also in Yarmouth we had 2 challets between us and our young supporters, well we (not me) ended up wrecking them, windows broke first night i was out for the count (TWICE as earlier they left me asleep in the Indian) when apparently we had a visit to get out that night from the manager, but Ed reasoned with him that we'd tidy up as there were Rizlas all over the floor from someone who was 'skinning up' work it out who you think it was? there were holes in the floorboards from near all jumping together, buckets of water tipped on the upstairs challet floor hoping it would soak through to our supporters who were below, holes in the doors where pot & pans were thrown at, locks busted on the door, when someone was impatient coming home late before the rest of us and did not have a key so kicked the door in , all the kitchen pot & pans had burnt food caked on to them, well how did we get away with it? well i lost the deposit cos the window was broke, but when they came round to check the room before we left we had moved the sofa over the hole in the floor, we had our suit covers hanging on the doors to cover the holes, and Beech was pretending to do the washing up, and swapped locks with our supporters room. Also our supporters got a visit one night, one was out for the count but Trevor AGAIN YES took advantage of Pissing all over his face & body, when our supporter awoke that morning all his shirt pattern was on his body, that was some piss Trev or a cheap shirt he was wearing!
