……. And the results are in
Well my pool predictions were sort of right. It went like this, Bannon kept beating me, Peter kept beating Bannon and I kept beating Peter (well, he kept potting the black so technically he beat himself but I am not so modest that I won’t claim a shallow victory!) But my luck didn’t hold up, it wasn’t long before the Pool police were asking me to leave because of the damage I was doing to the image of the sport! So I was gracious in defeat in the fact that I went and drowned my shame in vast quantities of alcohol!!!! Still I like to think I provided the entertainment for my two worthy foes.
When I left, Peter was handing Bannon his ass and it looked like it was game over for him (although Bannon was claiming that he was ill and this was hampering his natural pool talents) Peter was on fire and it looked like the boy was going to make me eat my word for ever doubting him. I rekoned he had it in the bag.
My last report I recevied from Bannon via text at 9.12pm stated that the tide of war had turned and he had proceeeded to trounce Peter. Final result: Peter 7 games, Bannon: 14 games. Still, a good clean tournement with no blood being spilled and a good display of sportsmanship.

As I have stated previously, pool or snooker is a marathon not a sprint. Granted Peter flew off to an impressive start but by winning 13 of the last 14 frames I feel I justified my self given title of ‘pool god’. Many people will find this big headed and rather insulting to everyone else, these people would be right. Even suffering from Gastric flu was not enough to let Peter or Guy Incognito win. Guy Incognito appears to have invented his own rules to pool which everyone else has yet to pick up on. I am sure when we all catch up to his game plan it will make for an interesting ‘pool spin off’ sport. As for Peter… well today in an email to me he used the word ’shark’ to describe me. I take this as a compliment. From the seedy beginings of a working class (or whatever comes below that) pub in Sheffield, the department pool tournament is fast becoming a regular occurance in our lives. I wonder how many eager participants there will be next month, and what venue we will choose. Whatever the venue, what ever the result we can be sure that Guyincognito will be there and will report back on all that happens.

Well what can i say, Bannon started winging about his cold, sorry gastrict flu, so much that after I had shown him the errors of his ways, by tanking him, I felt sorry for the poor guy.
With the night in the bag I decided to start letting the “shark” win, anyway I couldn’t not let him, I wanted another night out for the rematch. Maybe with his new inthusiasm he might make it a better competition next time.
Bring it on………………………………..
Incognito guy, what can I say?, keep practicing………………alot…………………

Gasmetre or should that be Gasbag? You were comfortably destroyed by someone who was at best at 50%. I too look forward to the rematch and look forward to once again handing you your arse to play with. I recommend practice and then some more practice before we meet again. It is no suprise to me, or the viewing public, that it is you who are the one coming out with excuses and it is me basking in the glory of another walk in the park victory. I rest my case.
