Google and I disagree about taxes.

But I agree with Beest on the subject of bar billiards.
No idea if there are still any tables set up in pubs these days.
But I bet there are, especially village pubs.
Hell, I know one which still has its own skittles alley.

The trouble with you Brits is you keep lallygagging in the past, those tables went out with sword fighting and knickers. You even get football wrong.

Okay, British bar billiards may have had their day.
But don't even talk about the global phenomenon that is soccer (true, original name for football), as opposed to the egg-chasing with padded shoulders

Cheese rolling, that was a failed export.
Ditto Piers Morgan. You don't like him... but then we didn't either.
I'd rather fall down a hill in Gloucester than have dinner with him. Even if he was paying. And that's saying something.

Culturally, I know what I would rather watch (meaning the culture I grew up in) but I was only responding to Bruce's baiting

Does Piers look snotty? I don't think he looks as snotty as he is.
To look like his character he'd need to be covered in so much slime and snot that he leaves a snail-trail. He'd also need to have some sort of ferrety nose poking out, and a rat's ability to crawl through sewers.

Plus a huge mutated brain, like he'd been bred in a lab. Because the man is genuinely intelligent, don't be fooled.
He just has no morals, decency or boundaries.
He'd sneak into your bedroom and steal your tampons to get DNA if he thought he could get a story.

ETA - no, not at Strawberry Festival this time. Sadly.
I'm now barred because of last year's "incident".
I didn't know someone had laced the strawberry punch with vodka!

Anywhoo, turns out someone with suspected cirrhosis isn't counted as having the correct moral fibre to be a Festival Queen.

Oh sure, blame the victim. I'm sorry I dress so sexy.

In the United States, though the original "pool" game was played on a pocketless carom billiards table, the term later stuck to all new games of pocket billiards as the sport gained in popularity,[citation needed] and so outside the cue sports industry, which has long favored the more formal term pocket billiards, pool has remained the common name for the sport.

I suppose you're muzzle loading your paintball gun, too. At least try to move up to the last century. Christ, no wonder you lost the empire.

I thought pocket billiards was something else entirely.
