Was that shop you went to Lillywhites by any chance ?
Probably was, that shop seems to be right where i remember getting it, but can't be sure, it's 28 years ago...
I actually got 6 cues now so that statement about getting older must have some truth in it
Sometimes i wished i still had my first cues, but as i've been playing for a loooong time and didn't have a clue about the stuff i made some mistakes i would do differently now.
I know my first cue was a cheap BCE cue, in '92 i wanted a 'real english' cue so i bought one in a big (not really snooker related) shop at piccadilly circus while i was there for prince concerts.
Don't have that cue anymore either, turned out to be a bad one, if only i had known about the existance of JP back then.
Don't remember who has those cues now.
Got the craftsman in '95 from a friend and that one i still have.
I still have nightmares about selling my Thurston for a night out , what a muppet I was
I can’t remember how it happened but there was about a year when I played competitive matches with a rack cue i picked up at my club one night. In fact I think it was the cue before the Thurston. I didn’t have much money then to spend as I was a junior. The problem you’ve got once you get older is having more money, this means more cues to pick from.
Im going to try to stick to my Riley I’ve only bought recently after returning to the game. I’m already tinkering with the idea to do some alterations to it .....

I would really like a 1 piece version now though, at the time the 3/4 split cues where all the rage! Still, I do like the wood with green splicing and it plays great for delicate shots too.
by all means get a one piece cue for the fun of it, but never let that one go!

Looks very nice, i suppose you haven't recieved the cue yet?
Yeah received it a few days ago. Actually my second be ultimate. Flawless cues. I based this design off a crispian Jones kingfisher but without the veneers. And wanted each splice to be different exotic wood. One of a kind.
