I have lost a lot of respect for the rules of pool.  There are too many different types of rules for different pubs.  It's impossible nearly to have a friendly game with a stranger in a pub you don't often visit.\n\nA lot of friends seem to have their own rules, it's stupid.\n\nI am a very good pool player but stop enjoying the game because I realised that the official rules are NEVER played by anyone.  I am the type of player who will be happy to play the opponent's rules - but still they get confused with THEIR rules.\n\nSo stick with snooker!  It improves your pool, it also only has one rule and you can not get beat by lucky drunk youngsters.  Snooker is a  man's game.  Pool is anyones game from my experience.\n\nTo be in a pool team, you're generally like to drink in that pub.\n\nTo be in a snooker team, you're generally known to be good!

I am sure that there is, but how do you skinny dip on a snooker table?

I'd say the triangle; that is why most bridges are built with a "Triangle Truss." It makes the bridge more stable.

In the 70's and 80's, snooker was known for being a drinking and smoking mans sport, you could rarely see the table for all the cigarette smoke! because of a lot of drinking, many players had the shakes, beta blockers will counter act it, and enable even the most hung over of people to play, You don't hear about it much now because drinking whilst playing has stopped.

Snooker is a billiards sport that is played on a large (12' × 6') baize-covered table with pockets in each of the four corners and in the middle of each of the long side cushions. It is played using a cue, one white ball (the cue ball), 15 red balls (worth 1 point each) and 6 colours: a yellow (2 points), green (3 points), brown (4 points), blue (5 points), pink (6 points) and black ball (7 points). A player wins a frame of snooker by scoring the most points, using the cue ball to pot the balls in the manner described below. A match consists of an agreed number of frames. Snooker is particularly popular in English-speaking and Commonwealth countries, and the Far East.

The highest possible break is155.\nYou have 15 reds & 15 blacks & the colours to give you 147.\nIf the the person breaking off fouls off the break & leaves a free ball this gives you a 16th red. So if you take a black with the free ball then the 15 reds & blacks & all the colours this will give you 155. ( If You give an opponent 155 head start and he/she fouls from the break and you make a 155 break then the scores are equal and there is a respotted black. You win the toss and pot the black giving you 162 ) This though would not be legal.\nI don't think anyone has made a 155 but I have heard of some one making higher than 147. I was told it's in the Guiness Book Of Records.

The bridge of a song (when there is a bridge in the song) is the passage where the chordal structure and melody change from the previous verses. At the completion of the bridge, the song resolves back into the normal melody and chord structure established in the earlier verses.\n\nThe bridge may be repeated later in the song.

A Truss bridge is of old design, usually of wood or iron. Shifting of the ground can cause the truss to warp requiring costly repair. They do not allow much traffic beneath, such as over rivers. They are not pretty.\n\nA suspension bridge has extreme weight to be held by means of cables. Also, the pilons or towers require great strength and durability in the ground. Over time the towers and cables can give way. Some of the more notorius failures were due to wind causing the bridge to sway and eventually reaching resonant frequency. This has been caught on video tape. Quite a scene to watch.

Snooker:\n\nNeil Robertson (born February 11th, 1982) is an Australian professional snooker player who won the 2006 Royal London Watches Grand Prix. Robertson is the first Australian to win a ranking tournament.\n\nHe started his snooker career at a young age. Aged just 14, he became the youngest player to make a century break in an Australian ranking event. Then, when he was 17, he reached the third qualifying round of the World Championship.\n\nFrom his official website:\n\nIn 1996 at just 14 years of age, Neil Robertson became the youngest player ever to make a century break in an Australian ranking event. This was a sign of things to come.\n\nBy the age of 17, Neil had turned professional, reaching the 3rd qualifying round of the Embassy World Championship, and the Last 16 of the IBSF World Snooker Championship. Those who knew the game, started to take notice. \n\nUnable to accumulate sufficient ranking points, and finding living abroad difficult, Neil dropped off the professional circuit and returned home to concentrate on local tournaments. He dominated the Australian snooker scene for several years with an unrivalled string of tournament victories and high breaks. But his desire to test his talent against the world's best professionals continued to burn. \n\nNeil re-qualified for the international Main Tour professional series in 2003 by winning his first world title: the WPBSA World Under-21 Snooker Championship in New Zealand. It was during the subsequent 2003-2004 Main Tour season, that Neil truly made his mark on the world stage. After some promising results, including his first Quarter Finals appearance at a world ranking event, Neil finished the season ranked 68 in the world. \n\nBy the end of the 2004-2005 Main Tour season, a further 2 Quarter Final appearances, and victories against some of the world's best players, Neil had climbed to 28 in the world. \n\nBy the end of the 2005-2006 season, and another 2 Quarter Final appearances, Neil had broken into the prestigious world Top 16, finishing with a world ranking of 13.\n\nRegarded today as one of the world's best long potters and one of snooker's fastest rising stars, Neil is gifted with well-rounded game, calm temperament and steely determination.\n\nNeil has steadily climbed the world rankings over the past 3 seasons. But the best is yet to come... as Neil sets his goals on a Top 8 ranking, and his first professional tournament victory.\n\nDate of Birth 11 February 1982  \nLives Melbourne (Australia)\nCambridge (England)  \nTurned Pro  1998 \nHighest Break (Practice) 147 \nHighest Break (Tournament) 147 (twice)  \nPlays Left-handed \n\n\n2006 Grand Prix (Main Tour)\nCentral Coast Leagues Classic \nWest Coast International \nKings Australia Snooker Cup  \n2005 West Coast International  \n2004 The Masters Qualifying Tournament\nFred Osbourne Memorial\nLance Pannell Classic\nCentral Coast Leagues Classic\nWest Coast International \n2003 IBSF World U-21 Snooker Championship\nCentral Coast Leagues Classic\nAustralian U-21 Championship \n2002 Australian Open Snooker Championship\nVictorian Open Snooker Championship\nFred Osbourne Memorial\nLance Pannell Classic \n2001 Victorian Open Snooker Championship\nSouth Australian Open Snooker Championship \n2000 Oceania Snooker Championship\nAustralian U-21 Snooker Championship

The best thing to do is look up in the yellow pages n let your fingers do the walking. Alternately ring the local town council n ask of all the snooker clubs thats available in your area.

Depends on the size of the snooker, I guess.\n\nKidding. \n\nAccording to official BCA equipment specifications, the weight may be from 5 1/2 to 6 oz. with a diameter of 2 1/4", plus or minus .005".

Sounds like you need county line coordinates.  Here are the coordinates of the county line as it intersects these two bridges:\n\n1) Howard Franklin Bridge 27º55'35.39"N / 82º35'14.06"W\n2) Gandy Blvd Bridge      27º52'55.57"N / 82º34'02.19"W\n\nHope that helps.

Both answers are correct - but only one is a bridge!\n\nThe Dunlop Bridge is on the Dunlop Straight (which used to be called Starkey's Straight!).   It is next to the exhibition centre.\n\nStarkey's Bridge is the name of a corner on the opposite side of the circuit - but I cannot find out why it is called Starkey's bridge!\n\nThe website link gives a very good map of the circuit.   If you want a picture of the Dunlop Bridge, put that in Images on the yahoo home page.\n\nI hope that sets you a little straight!!!!
