So how many did you get on it, Johnny ? We're always hearing about your good scores, but the rest of us share our 'bad' ones too occasionally ! ;D I always try and keep myself positive on this forum, however I averaged at 700 :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ I lost a 3k break as the ball did a banana like movement from the back in to the peg >:( This break would of changed the game, however my opponent did deserve the win!

This is how it works, Johnny. Your average can't be 700 as, after scoring 12,580 the first time around, you would have to have scored minus 11,180 in the second game to produce the 700 figure.
So you must mean you scored 700 which would mean that your running average is now 6640.
Not bad. And still above the revised target.

Well that wasn't a league game, it was the Cambs singles competition!
I have played 2 league games getting: 2950 and 12,580 which is an average of 7765 a league game! I am basing my averages on my league performance!
Singles I don't keep records! Only singles fixtures.

Well, there you are then, even better. I thought I'd had a good start to the season in Redhill, but my average of 7085 is inferior to yours. That nice black and white cat must be bringing you luck. :)

nelsons Head table is propped up with beer mats ::) ;D LOL, I must admit it shocked me the first time I ever went there, however it does have good days! The Nelsons Head table just needs a flat floor, and being in a pub probably doesn't do the table any justice, I think water and that under ground changes the floor or something :-/ Anyway we are digressing from the topic slightly :-[

Opportunities for a bit of jocularity have been all too scarce recently, so I thought I'd bump this thread. And it's this one I'm adding too, not the original What Bugs You ? - which fully deserves its rightful place in the Hall Of Fame, and for some unaccountable reason was pulled back out.
Anyway, I've thought of something else that bugs me:
You're driving your car, right? And driving in an unfamiliar place - in this case Milford, near Godalming. You know the garage where you have to take your car for service is just along here, but your concentrating on the roadworks so you say to the wife, "let me know when you spot the garage", and she says "there" just as you drive past it. So rather than do a u-turn at the dangerous junction (with road works remember) you think you can find it by going round again, left, left, left and left again. But you miss the third left because it wasn't obvious and some pratt was glued to your bumper, and next thing you know you're heading in the direction of Haslemere. No lay-bys or sideroads to turn round in, nothing but double white lines for two miles. Eventually you turn round and head back to the village. But this time, because you've approached from a different direction than normal you are completely disorientated, and there are no familiar landmarks, you might as well be in Timbuktu ! So you guess which way, and guess correctly, because there's the little turning you should have taken, but it's on the other side of the road...........With me so far ? (I bet you're glad you weren't. ;) ) This is the bit I'm coming to.
So, you need to turn round and there's a little cul de sac, but now there's a 4x4 up your jacksie, so you do an instant signal and left down the cul de sac expecting to throw him off. But he's still in the rear view mirror. So there's another little cul de sac, I'll indicate left, ease just past it, reverse in, retrace my steps, and my mother's brother is called Robert. But the 4x4 draws up behind me as if a) he's on tow; b) he wants a fight; or c) he's going to the same place as me and is equally lost. Anyway, as I start to reverse at him, he gets out of the way, drives past me and roars away to the end of the cul de sac.
That's it really, what bugs me is getting lost and acquiring a hanger-on which I can't then seem to shake off. >:(

Summer handicap league Player 1 3000 home average Player 2 3000 away average match starts all square
PLayer 1 starts moaning that player 2 "only" has a 3000 average and should be higher - "its a joke" was one comment!
Player 1 has the break (and at home dont forget) and promptly goes off with 7k.....
What the f*** is player 1 moaning at....

Not the Oxford League, I might add, as we don't have an handicap system for the Summer.

Long jokes (sorry Tommo & Josie), Long stories, Long directions to somewhere. !!

Memory is a funny thing, Milko.
I have a great long-term memory but a shocking short-term one. Like CraigC I have a "photographic memory" (for maps etc) and I would imagine that you do too.
And yet I can be introduced to someone one minute and have completely forgotten their name the next - it goes in one ear and out the other. >:(
It bugs me that I can remember entire chess games played 150 years ago, but I can't remember where I put my keys down a moment ago. :o

Memories are indeed funny.
I have a memory of an Oxford Open and much to mine and everyone's surprise I made it through a couple of rounds. It was a particular surprise to Milko who - on discovering me at the table as his next opponent in the last 16 or even last 8 (not sure) - said, "Lorin, what are you doing here?"
Oh, how we love to stroll down amnesia lane!!
