After Mat Ansell lost 2-0 in the Elmer Lodge cup to someone wearing a cueing glove, I feel it is time to declare a top 5 Hall of Shame.

5) Losing to someone using a pub cue.
4) Losing to someone with a graphite cue.
3) Losing to someone wearing a cueing glove.
2) Losing to a pub team wearing branded shirts (particular embarrassment if nicknames are on the back)
1) Losing to Alex Barnetson.

Losing to someone with a magnetic chalkholder justmissed entry into the top 5.

---

losing to susan

---

Losing to someone wearing a coat :wrong:

---

losing to fran ;) lol jk.

5) Losing to someone who can doesn't use spin.
4) Losing to someone who's using a house cue.
3) Losing to someone who is totally hammered!
2) Losing to someone who isn't in the Unpredictables :P
1) Losing a match without getting a frame.

---

Oii!

Losing to someone whose cue is taller than he is! :elol:

---

Losing to someone who uses a Chalk Pouch (Wayne Pope)
Losing to someone who plays with a 9-Ball Cue (Wiggy & John Hoy Hoy Hoy)
Losing to someone who has colour co-ordinated cue and tracksuit bottoms (Jamie Kay)
Losing to a woman
Losing to someone who says "that's the best I've played in ages" when they were rubbish

---

oi, there's nothing wrong with shirts with nicknames...

it's just loosing to someone from Biggin hill...

---

losing to someone wearing pink

---

Ted told me that my next opponent in the Elmer Lodge Cup has to be home by 8.00 pm every day. I asked, 'why, is he a kid?'. 'No, he's on an ASBO'

---

I'm gonna start wearing a pink shirt with a nickname on it to piss you all off!!!

---

and a pink cueing glove

---

There was a bloke called Richard carter who playerd out of Suzys years agao. He had:-

1. keys on a chain dangling from his belt. (Jason Deegan used to ask if he has a swiss army knife on their)

2. A bum bag attachment

3. A graphite cue.

I would add a la Adam Hewson....

4. A mobile phone attached to jeans that never rings and

5. A blue tooth attachment on earhole.

---

beat me to it
ill nominate adam hewson.....with his cue towel sticking out his back pocket and his hands free ear piece that never rings
:hand:

---

I remember playing upstairs at the Freemasons years ago, and almost getting beaten by a REALLY pregnant woman.

She must have only been days away from popping as she was huge.
She waddled round the table and could only cue upright, and even then couldn't get near the table because of junior. . .

I have been trying to emulate the look ever since.

---

Yes, losing to someone short must be a bit shameful. You must be a wreck, Fran!

---

i must remember to take my earpiece off before i go into suzyz!

---

Losing to people that have a broken leg, arm, collarbone etc.

---

Losing to someone whose cue case for his one piece cue consists of a single bin-liner over the tip end (Berty for about 2 months)

---

Losing to :chicken:

---

Clive Taylor's made a good living out of that!!!:lol:

---

Shorter people do have a better cueing action than taller people. Because they're closer to the table it's easier to get the arm parallel to the table and it's easier to get right down to line up a shot. Well that's what I think, anyway, so :razz: :P

---

Just let me know when you have saved up your pocket money and we'll get it on. I am sure I can also squeeze you into my back pocket with Berty. :one:

---

I've got a job interview next week. If I get it I will be (at least partially) relocating to Oxford and jacking in any meaningful pool. If not you have got yourself a deal.

---

Thats just the type of homo excuse we come to expect from you bunch of faggots!

---

Classy response Alex.

---

Hardly the response of a confident man.....

Remember Berty fancied it, got beat and then has pretend to himself to be happy to live it for the rest of his life....

---

Not everyone has a massive ego Alex. You challenged me after a friendly bit of banter on the site designed to liven things up a bit and get you to bite..

In terms of whether it goes ahead, it's quite simple...

Do I think I would beat you with a sustained run in the winter league and a decent run of practice in the run up to the game? Definitely.

Do I think I would beat you having hardly played for 3 months, living 100 miles from croydon and stepping off a train to just play this game? (Seeing how well you played in and prepared for the Berty game) - Almost certainly not.

I'm not in the habit of throwing away a couple of hundred quid on an unlikely event, hence my original answer.

If that makes me a coward in your eyes? Well I think I can cope with that :winkgrin:

---

I thought the pink shirts were my trademark...?

:bounce:

---

Sorry. Getting beaten by this man . . .

---

:cool:

---

James, I didn't mean to scare you with my big ego. I must admit the thought of pulling your pants down as well as pulling down Berty's in one year was understandably too much to embrace for a red blooded Edenite.

Remember, Berty ducked the match for a while before he gained enough courage, so don't worry, I am patient....

---

Never ducked the match Alex and you know it you are just doing your usual attention seeking antic we have come to love and hate in equal measure. Keep it up son cos we will miss it after this season so I want to enjoy it whilst it lasts.

---

You've continually ducked Power v Berty II

---

Like most sequels it wouldn't have been as good as the original.

---

Fine my new name is Matt "The Ducker" Palmer

Jobs a goodun:bow:

---

'The Choker', 'The Bottler'.. are just a few others you maybe could use when you get bored of that one.....

---

cheers for the heads up how about the power shower for you ....or if you team up with golden "The Golden Shower" just a thought?!!!

---

One day Matthew, when you have grown some more hairs on your chest it will eventually dawn on you that living in my pocket is not a good place to be. At the moment you remind me of the Lion in the Wizard of Oz. Or shall we call you the Tin Man?

---

I quite like it in your Pocket Alex. I knew before I played you that If I lost you would be an obnoxious Pri*k about it and that is something I have to live with but I went in to the match with my eyes open knowing this fact.

Some of us manage to hold ourselves with an air of grace and dignity you should try it. You played me you beat me ...well done and you have my money to boot ...no complaints.

To a leeser extent (in terms of money) I have your money in the Eden Vs Coney matches and that pleases me. I have never been an individual player (hence why I dont play in the singles) but money and individual glory in mercenary fashion motivates you and that is just smashing so keep it up but that is where we very much differ. No rematch. but can my mate move in to your pocket he needs somewhere to crash for a while?

---

You're both shite :lol:

---

Careful Spudangles . . . ThePower might challenge you to a money game!!

---

but neither of us camps under a pool table:clap:

---

actually the power v berty was a case in point to this. Myself and alex both commented after our marathon that we had had enough and that was the most we had played in one day. whilst on the other table sean and rod started before us and finished way after we left i presume and yours was just an average saturday we built up to our for ages!!!!!!!!

---

:juggle:

---

:eek2:

---

I think I have shown 'grace' and 'dignity' by offering you the rematch.

:one: (obnoxious prick)

---

and I "graciously" declined 2 months ago.
