Well thought there was a lot of things that people get bugged by so what makes you happy?
Last week me and my dad went to the Floods Tavern to see the new table installed. After leveling it with the help from the landlord we decided to have a game.
I broke and got 3.7K straight away.
Bare in mind NONE of the loals had ever seen it played before, theystarted saying how amazing it was ;D
One person started shouting across the bar saying "Did you see that he just got 3,700 off one break".
That kind of praise takes me and my dad back years when I first started about 10 years ago. The people around the bar stopped talking and just watched in amazement when we played ;D
That really made me feel good that day :)
So what makes you happy?

Well, obviously my wife and family and having a nice car that I have no plans to change for a good many years.
Being able to pass the odd 20 minutes here and there while I'm waiting for something by going and having a quick game on my own table in my own house !
Finishing work at lunchtime on Friday each week and later in the afternoon going shopping and then back home having a slap-up curry. (I'm a creature of habit).
My football team winning the playoffs and going up another level (we won promotion to the Conference South).
Visits to Jersey (and now Guernsey) each year.
Playing for two good teams with great teammates on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Representing Redhill/Surrey at a higher level.
Looking out of my kitchen window and seeing birds feeding all day long in my garden. A lot of that is down to Margo keeping the feeders continually replenished.

Spending time with my children - as a part time dad this is precious and they grow up so quickly! ;D
Relaxing with friends, either enjoying a nice meal with a glass (or 2!) of decent wine or just having a laugh.
Watching a good film, or even better a live show. I'm lucky enough to have been to see most of the big ones in London, enjoyed them all but think that "Mamma Mia" is the best for sheer entertainment and enjoyment. ;D
Playing well (win or lose) at bar billiards....... although winning always tastes sweeter! 8-)
Holidays.......... abroad or in the UK. I love to explore new places.
Fast cars and motorbikes, but not fast women.......! Maybe I lied about the last one there though! :o ;)

What football team is it ?? good luck next season anyway :) Thanks, it's AFC Wimbledon. If you follow the TV series New Tricks, you will see that Alun Armstrong has a big poster of them behind his desk. I followed the 'old' club from 1981 until they were 'stolen' and re-sited at Milton Keynes. I have a full collection of programmes from when we played all the top sides. Now I'm seeing a resurgent club working its way up the non-league pyramid at less than half the cost for a ticket as before, and have a collection building up of non-league programmes. 8-) The wife now comes to every match with me, and slowly but surely I think I'm curing her from being a Liverpool supporter ! ;D |

A good evening out with your mates enjoying a pint of two of guiness, some bar billiards, bit of banter and educated discussion. All right know educated discussion can be pressing it a bit far taking the people I normally play with.

Well I suppose pushed I might stretch to three, as those that know me will agree I am a bit of a lightweight.

Any film starring Adam Sandler.
Saw "Anger Management" the other night, also starring Jack Nicholson.
It had me both cringeing and falling off the settee with laughter (especially the bit when Jack makes him calm down by singing "I Feel Pretty" - and the fight with the Buddhist monks).
Happy Gilmore and Mr Deeds are favourites, too.
