Sunday Coming......

I'm heading to Fintry this Sunday to meet friends from both Fintry and Gargunnock there. Its the "Annual Forth & Endrick Singles Pool Competition". Otherwise known as the Annual Drinking Spree!
Its a grand time, its mainly the guys who play pool, the women all sit, drink, chat and catch up with the world.
There is a book being run already - not on who will win the competition - but rather on how long Kenny will stay awake/sober for this year.
The "Day" (starts at 12 finishes when it finishes) always ends with a game of "Killer". Do you know Killer? Everyone who wants to play puts a specified amount in the pot, then a board is written up with everyone's name and three lives attached to the name. You play down the list, and if you pot a ball, you keep all three lives, if you miss a ball, you lose a life. When all three lives have gone - you're out the game.
Mind you - If I remember right you get two shots off a break. It's technical - and I'll probably be sitting in the corner with a drink and chatting....
Maybe you guys over in the Coll Bar can clarify "Killer Rules". Then perhaps I'll shock a few folk by knowing what I'm on about!

Yeah, we play killer like that, except I don't think you get two shots off the break and you don't have to pot off the break either. The person on the blackboard needs to be fairly sober, people tend to argue about the lives they have already lost. Why does the game always end when you've just paid for another game? Our games cost 20p. The table will be in the bar for about another month only.
