Hello to All

[detroitman]

Just to say how pleased I am to join, just found the sie and think it's great.
A little about myself 57 years young have had my own full size Burroughs & Watts table with steel cushions for about 25 years now, moved it 4 time due to many reasons. It's now looked after by Ray Reardon's brother Ron who is a great guy. My cue is a made to measure Northwest witha thin Butt and also a thin shaft that caused a few problems for Kevin but very happy with it.
I'm not the best of players but just love the game, so it will be great to share with like minded people............Thanks

Welcome detroitman...
You came to the right place then mate.

Ask you a question... why "detroitman"?
The reason I ask is I spent a lot of time in Detroit myself... you as well?

Cheers!

Uptight, Clean Outta Sight!!
My uncle was a happening radio DJ in Detroit/Windsor in those days...
one of the first to play Motown so I was lucky enough to meet many soul and R&B and Motown stars!
I remember in 1962 or '63 going to see Stevie Wonder at the Motown Review in the Fox Theater.
I was about 13 or 14 and Stevie was a year younger... he started by playing drums for the kickass rhythm
section then turned them over to Marvin Gaye to play then took to the mic to sing and play harp and I died
and went to Heaven right there. I saw the Light!

Sorry mate... wish I did... I've lost track of the 45 and 33 1/3 record collections amassed and given or sold or left over the years...
at least 4 or 5 large ones representing growing interest in a broad spectrum of music over more than 45 years.

But I will check with my eldest cousin and let you know if I get lucky.

Again, welcome to the forum!

Another Newbie

Hi all,

I am a huge snooker fan, got my own cue, and my current favourite player is John Higgins, but of all-time is Steve Davis.

Looking forward to the World Championships, and also to knowing more about the game on this forum.

[nugget1234]

no welcome?

I'm just a little worried that no-one has welcomed me on the forum yet, this is only my second post, now I am feeling nervous about going on here. I haven't offended anyone have I?

[hotpot]

No you have,nt offended no one mucka , people probably missed you because you posted on someone elses thread , oviously by mistake .

Welcome aboard .
