We played a game on Monday night at a neutral venue. It was decided that whoever broke paid for the game. The match was standing at 2-2 where there is equal breaks in the last game. My player on last won the toss, but decided to give his opponent the break because he was too tight to put the 50p in to pay for the game !!!!! Player in question is Sid Ponting, just so you can add him to the Kipling table - that surely has to be massive points for that !

Tightness all round if you ask me.
1. Sid was lucky it was only a 50p table - £1 is the norm. 2. The fifth players could have paid 25p each by arrangement and had an even break. 3. Sid's captain, when realising that the match was so delicately poised, could have organised a whipround the team to sponsor the last game - 10p per player surely not being too extortionate.
Perhaps we should start a tightness Hall of Fame - there are certainly some worthy candidates from these regions !

The height of tightness is the bloke who I sit next to at work: His name is Steve Blake and he knows how to peel an orange in his jacket pocket with one hand.
When he's on the golfcourse, instead of shouting "Fore" he calls out "three-and-a-half" ;D
