[Help] Things that keep me awake

[Prince Monolulu]

If you had a snooker table with no end cushions, how far could a decent player hit the cue ball with a solid, clean hit?

 

[Wrong-Direction]

Half a mile?

Why do some clubs mow their pitch so that the horizontal stripes are perfectly in line with the penalty box and halfway lines, and others don’t. It disturbs me.

Wouldn't it just fall off the end of the table and roll to a wall/dip in the floor depending on how level the room is that the snooker table is in.

I woke up last night sweaty and, judging from how my body felt, scared to death from a dream where I explained the Prague pneumatic post system for some kid in a playground and couldnt return to sleep after that. Why, I dont know.

In my fretting and concern, I should have qualified it with 'a table of infinite length on a flat part of the M3'.

I have no idea if it's the norm but many moons ago, while in America, I spent the evening playing pool on what seemed to be a physics defying, friction free table with 6 buckets instead of pockets.

Now you'd think that would make it easy for 'us', but no, it was bloody impossible to control the cue ball.



On that table, possibly all US tables, even with end cushions I estimate a decent player hit the cue ball with a solid, clean hit and it travel for a million years, roughly.

I keep worrying that Oxygen is slowly killing us, but it takes 75-100 years to fully work.

If the table is flat, then before too long, the curvature of the earth would mean that the ball was going uphill relative to the ground and would slow down and eventually roll backwards.

When did they start painting penalty spots to look like Polo mints? Bugs the hell out of me.

I have a feeling this NSC banner ad may keep me awake. Das Reich will probably be along in a minute to scream for a policeman.

A really good whack might reach as far as Winchester, I reckon.

With you on that one...

Also the Pigeons who do their little 'shag dance' on my balcony at half six every morning. Is there such a thing as exploding bird seed?

Night shifts.
But when I do get to my bed it’s the noise goblin who lives next door. It’s not music or partying but she is simply incapable of going about her business without making an extraordinary amount of noise. Doors? just let them slam shut behind you. Cupboards, they won’t stay shut unless you smash them into the frame will they? Answering the door for a parcel? Why not shout as if the delivery man is at the end of the road, in his cab with the doors locked and headphones on and not 1 meter I front of you? And if there is no other noise to be made simply spend every waking minute talking to your equally moronic fiends on speakerphone as you wonder up and down the corridor outside?
And all in a Scottish accent.

You have my sympathy. Sadly Hadrian’s wall ain’t what it used to be!
