[QUOTE="Ticklishchap, post: 1064763, member: 84583"] Giday to you too mate . It’s 10.20 pm here, Saturday night and I’ve just seen your message. It’s a great thing about the internet that you can make new friends with shared interests across the world. I haven’t been to NZ I’m afraid but I was born in Melbourne as my father worked there for a few years. I have a few memories of it before returning to England; I had my first year of school Down Under. If I had stayed there I would have played Footy. I think we’re of similar vintage probably because you mentioned the 80s in an earlier post. It’s true that in most pubs you just play pool, but I’ve enjoyed pub snooker games and tournaments as well. I enjoy both games but I’m a bit of an old traditionalist and so my favourite is still English Billiards. Re. the Corps at boarding school, I was in the Army section, which I enjoyed a lot as I had (still have) a strong interest in military history and WW2. It was a close call because I was (still am) very interested in the Navy as well and knew several Naval officers who were friends of the family and thought of them as men of great integrity. Which one do you think you’d have joined? Corps was Wednesday afternoon (arvo) with sports on the other days. [/QUOTE]
