He seems to be overthinking safety shots trying to come up with overcomplicated shots instead


He probably feels he has to live up to his reputation as the king of safety and shotmaking. Kind of like Graeme Dott when he tries to play too fast instead of just playing normally.

This and the whicker man are fabulous Nicolas Cage performances.

Wild At Heart!

There's two types of Cage movies. Brilliant ones like Wild at Heart and Leaving Las Vegas. Then the baffling ones like Whicker man.

There has always been bickering on here.

This is different


Brexit has opened up a huge divide within the country, and that is being felt even on this forum IMO.

Absolutely. I’ve been just as bad putting forward the Irish point of view, but from the outside looking in, on a night I’m glued to snooker, it’s very offputting.

Watch the original 70s one. Weird but a unique film. The Nic Cage one is hilariously bad.

NOT THE BEES!!!!

No there hasn't

I remember a lot of bickering. Used to be a lot of it, with members who are gone now. But I agree it's getting tiresome. Talking about politics often is the start of it.

I Agree Brexit this Brexit bucking that all we here about for alomost 3 bucking years and its tiersome now my view on it is the biggest political cockerel up in brittish politics history but suerly to buck we can all give it a bucking miss for 17 bastard days..
