Happy holidays!

Hi everybody!!!

Don't expect too much text here the next few days..
The holidays are coming up...

Just want to wish everybody a great Christmas however you may want to spend your time...

And for 2007....

I wish that you will get whatever you wish....

Love you all and see you hopefully soon again...

Hmmmm...

Haven't written anything for a week..
Falling back in my old habits again..

This weekend..
69 runners in the BPPPA event..
Not bad. Ted did come over for a few hours everytime..
No matter what.. Tried everything to send him home but he wouldn't listen!
Men! They are so stubborn!

Anyways, Mark Gray won again! Final was against Daryl Peach.
I like Mark...
He's always a player. Stays calm, quiet and easy... Loved to have more of those players!

Lee won the weekly tournament again last week..
Played the final against Shoka!
Shoka is funny.. Sometimes when he misses a ball he's really angry at himself and looks like he wants to swear or hit something but than he looks in my direction and laughs..
Hahaha...
I like that kind of people.. (don't get that thing where people start slamming balls on the table or hitting the table with their fist because they missed a ball)
I won my group! Won 4-2 against Bobby (2nd on the ranking)
Let's not mention everything that happened afterwards..
That's mainly the reason why I didn't write anything this week.. Too much in shock that something like that can happen...

So tonight... Another weekly tournament!
What surprises will we have this week?
Maybe Mr Appleton will honor us with a visit.
Hopefully my dear friend Ste will drop by...
We'll see..

Ohhh forgot to mention that the famous Roy S. asked me to come and help at the 8-Ball Battle of Scandinavia!!!
Looking forward to it!!!

See ya later

Forget it...

Not gonna say much about it..
In fact..
No more mentioning the Mosconi when I'm around..
Until next year...

Tonight...
Weekly tournament in Barnsley...
Film crew is coming from 6 to 10..
To shoot some promotional material for Riley's..
Exciting.. :)
Hahah There's no swearing allowed..
That's gonna be difficult with the people here...
I'll let Riggers try to control them..

This weekend is going to be hard...
Ted Bristow is still recovering from everything that has happened lately..
Word snel beter, Ted!
(Yes he can understand a bit of Dutch)
So I'm gonna run the tournament with the help of Nigel Webb, Ben Moore and John Moran...

So no news from me this weekend and see you later!



PS Sorry Lee that you have to get up really early to take me there.. And wait till the end...
But I love you! ;)

Gonna cry..

Got no words for it at the moment... 12-12..
No win for Europe...

Mosconi Cup goes back to America....

And I'm missing out on all the action!!!

Damn...

I want to be there..
Don't care which one..
Need some real action!

For the people with the dirty minds..
Pool-action... World-class players competing for something!
Not the Leeds or Barnsley players..
I can see them more than enough times!

Going back to Bwin and their live-stream.. and tonight some Mosconi Cup action..
Oh no! Weekly tournament in Riley's Barnsley... Lets hope that the will put it on the screens there!

See ya tomorrow!

Sick..

Just a short message...

Cambridge was ok...
I would have done it differently...

Back to bed now and hope I'll feel better later...

Weekend....

Hi everybody!!!

As some of you know already...
I've finally won something here!!!
Ok not a lot of money (my entry fee back)..
But still...
Won the loserside of the weekly tournament in Barnsley!!!
In the group stages I had to play Karl Milner first..
1st frame:
Cleared everything but landed straight on the 9 with the cueball on the rail...
So missed it...
2nd frame:
Tried to carom the 2-9...
Worked perfectly... Almost untill the cueball hit the 3 and went in/off...
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
After that I just gave up.. ;)
No, Karl is a great player so didn't have much of a chance because if he couldn't work it out, he'd just give me a safety and then with a ball in hand would clear the table up...
After that Jason Webb.
Not much too say, lost.
So that meant the loserside for me:
2-1, 2-0 and the final was 2-1 against Adam Beasley.
Another good player but with the confidence ( ;) ) of last week... (beat him in a best of 1 at 8-ball)
1-0 down... 1 all...
He missed the 6!
And I cleared the rest!!! :D
See...
I can pot more than 3 balls! Sometimes...

PS this was 9-ball.. The game I don't really like to play...

Lee won the winnerside..
So this was our first couples victory, I guess...
Lee is doing quite good things now.
Won the weekly tournament in Leeds wednesday..

Going to Cambridge in an hour.. There's a tournament there Sunday.
Sounds like it's going to be fun and I get a chance to see some old friends again!
Oz, Courtney and Oli.. I get to see the rest of the guys at the BPPPA events most of the times but they almost never come.. :(

So me and Lee are making it a weekend... And Nick W. is coming along.. ;)
So see you on Monday again!
