A little something about me..

I am a useless plug, can typically be found making first round exits in £5 flyers to players significantly worse than myself. I love smashing my cue into the ground after poor shots, it’s incredibly cathartic. I don’t generally snap cues, instead I opt to grind down pieces of chalk in order to vent my frustration. However, as bad as I may be, I am adept at identifying cabbages and puddings. I am allergic to delusional pool players; which makes living in Hull immensely difficult/frustrating, as I am often exposed to them for extended periods of time. As if living in Hull wasn’t difficult enough, I also have the pleasure of playing in one of the most farcical Tuesday leagues known to man, I enjoy playing in it; however the organisation of the thing is absolutely laughable. We are stuck playing backwater rules on tables not fit to serve dinner on. I speak the truth about pool in Hull, just ask Darren Flintoft.

Favourite discipline

Blackball > EPA old rules > snooker > every other billiards discipline > watching paint dry > world rules

Favourite player

Darren Flintoft, he is an inspirational player. I’ve never encountered someone as good as him at using side to dispatch of drop ins
