I didn't realize the World Snooker Championship was being played this year until I noticed on YouTube that the person I root for had won his sixth title! So I had about 24 hours of Ronnie O'Sullivan's matches to watch including a 10 hour semi-final and an 8 hour final. I know most of you have no idea what I am talking about. I can hear you now - "What the Hell is snooker?". Maybe the Brits appreciate the greatness of the game! Back in the day there were as many as 5 Canadians on the circuit. One of them, Cliff Thorburn, actually won the title and had the first perfect game in the World Championships a few years previous! Those were the days!

Yuup us Brits know what you are talking about. At least our game you must be able to count more than 15 and we don't have the numbers printed on the balls!!
Our other game on the green baize is Billiards!

I used to play snooker at the local taverns/pool halls when I was in high school in the early 1950s. Haven't seen a snooker table in the U.S. since the 1960s, but then I don't go to taverns/pool halls anymore. Maybe there are still some out there!
