[QUOTE="Ticklishchap, post: 1064706, member: 84583"] Good morning mate - well, it’s morning here anyway, There’s a kind of fairly light-hearted nationalism with Italy in particular claiming ‘ownership’ of 5-pin Billiards. English Billiards was the first one I learned. We had a Billiard Table in the House at the boys’ boarding school I attended (you have similar British-modelled schools in NZ) and also in the Mess Room for Corps (Wednesday afternoon activity: we all belonged to either Army, Navy or RAF sections). When Rugger (as we called it) was rained off, or Cricket matches for that matter, I would either head for one of those two Billiard rooms or the library. Usually the Billiard Rooms I have to say. Snooker is popular as a pub game here. You’re right about the need to think. I agree with your comment about English Billiards and it’s the form to which I have the strongest attachment. [/QUOTE]
