>>>Yes, I can remember playing on a snooker table (a long time ago) and it was much harder than pool due to the smaller pockets with rounded cushion edges. The billiards I'm thinking of would be "carom billiards" and played on a table with no pockets as opposed to "pocket billiards" which, I guess, would/could be played on a snooker table.

>>I think, officially, it's the other way round: snooker is played on a billiards table. :-)

I'm just thinking of those red-clad army officers, in their evening dinner wear, withdrawing for a game of b and a cigar.
No, I'm not a snob about it - it's a snooker table to me.

Er, ye-eah! Let's just say it involves a man's pockets, spherical objects, and is frowned upon.

- Worry is the interest you pay, in advance, for a loan that you may never need to take out.
