The POOL ROOM

[Rob. Smith]

Watch the parallel olympics ...wheelchair racing, spinouts and rollovers. Murderball crashes and mayhem. More violence than demolision derbys

Well that was 8 minutes I will cherish forever. Brought tears to my eyes.

After watching that 8 hour...eerrr....minute video,I now understand the standards y'all have set for this thread.

With all y'all's verbousness (is this a word ?) and efforts.I have no doubt y'all will be able to get close to those standards.

Looks to be a fun thread.

LoBelly...have they made that into a TV series?

My favouite line in the movie:

"what is it with wogs and cash!"

Seen it many times and I watched the clip twice.

Not to my knowledge

When I was looking for the clip on YouTube I did come across something that looked like a series by the same name but I don't know if there is any association with the production company.

That 8mins is basically the opening sequence to the film that goes on to describe the family's efforts to resist their house being compulsorily acquired for development. (small [clueless] guy(s) vs. big business)

Andy,

Now I was suggesting 22" wheels - you already have them. I should have known. They look fantastic.

Good luck with the new venture. Getting off the earth moving equipment will be good for you, as this may not be as hard on your body.

Mmmm or perhaps harder..



It's great to see that the Cobra is moving ahead as well.

I have been a little busy here with some renovations and works at the store. So I have not spent the time I would like on the GT40. But will get there soon...

Are you going to be at the Nationals or working?

Cheers

Bernie

Cameron,

I knew you were moving back and forward but did not know you were there when I was in China. You bet I would have foound you if I had known. It is a foreign country..

There is only so many times you can say 'NO' to a massage when you head back to your hotel..

May catch up at the Nationals.

Ron,

Good to see you drop over here. I'll still get over to the chat areas.

I have not been on this forum a lot - even though my 'Post' count is up. Most of the count has been added too at the airport surfing gallery photos..

Hope all is well there. Fires seemed to have left you alone this year..

Fred,

I have been to the ultimate Pool Room at Jay's workshop near you. So I know the standards and the card games well..

Think Jay has the ultimate Pool Room..

Cheers

Jamo,

If you can get a copy of the movie it is a great laugh.

Will see if I can find one or buuurrnn a copy.

So the Pool Room is now on the Forum..

Bernie

[Cameron Parsons]

No worries Bernie,

and for all the other lurkers. I look like being here for another 2 years. If you get to Beijing, don't be a stranger.. We have a fully operational BBQ and Bar

See you at the Nationals... My short commute starts in a few days..
