I've just been playing doubles at work and my parter explained that his poor form in the first couple of frames was probably because his sandwich was disgusting! :wrong:

My other favourites are:

'I've just got new trainers that I've never played in before.'

'I've only got 1 eye'

If I remember anymore I'll post them...

So, what is the best bad excuse that you've heard?

"I don't usually play on wednesdays." Is probably the best one I've heard.

If we put every "Wiggyism" here, then it's quite possible that the world wide web could collapse.

Let's just say that Wiggy, bless him, is both original, and thorough.

Wiggy's best one was "The air is to humid" shortly followed by "The air is too dry"

Oh and people use "I got a kick" way too much . . Most of the people I hear use that wouldn't know what a kick was if it grew a dinkle and dry bummed them . .

nothing to do with this thread but talking of 1 eye spence... guy in my local few weeks back, playing pool with his mate. gets to the black, mate shouts out double it, guys goes to double. Then the mate shouts out "one handed", so he goes for it one handed. Just before he shoots the mate then shouts "one eyed". The guy then pulls out his glass eye (no one knowing about it), pops it down on the table, doubles the black, then pops it back in again. awesome.

'Did you see that roll off? F*@king *~#**"

That's generally Gary Swettenhams way of saying he lives closer than his shabby attempt at a pot but doesn't want to admit he's shit.

i have complained about the humidity as it makes the table slow and your cue sticky but have never commented about the air being too dry.

however i have never used the 'i drew 6-6 with knocky from 5-1 up cos cliff mills was making too much noise 4 tables away' excuse...!!!
