Anyone have a pool table?


If so, how often do you use it (be honest)?

I've know quite a few people who have bought pool tables and without exception, after the novelty wore off, none of them ever use them.

I think they're a colossal waste of money.

No, but I’d like one.
When I was a kid my father had a pool table down in the cellar, it was a big draw for all the neighborhood dads, sometimes they’d let us kids play and they’d drink beer.

I never got very good though.

reply

I'm sure none of the kids ever snuck beer. That would be wrong. Very VERY wrong!

reply

None of us kids ever got very good at shooting pool but a few of us became next level drinkers

YES...WITH ITS LEGS REMOVED AND STORED AGAINST A WALL IN A SHED...IT IS A 60'S BILLIARDS TABLE BOUGHT BY MY GRANDFATHER IN THE 60S...FELT IS GETTING A BIT THIN BUT OVERALL IT IS IN GREAT SHAPE FOR ITS AGE...IT TAKES UP A TON OF SPACE AND RARELY GETS USED THOUGH...SO NOW IT LIVES AGAINST THE WALL.

I had one in my house because the previous owners left it behind. Never used it myself.

reply

I do not. However, your post finally sold me on getting one. You made a great pitch and any pool table company executive would be a fool not to hire you as a regional sales manager.

I expect to see log sheets from when you use it!

Yes, I have a full size UK competition table in the Kingshed pub at the bottom of the garden. It gets used regularly when we have friends over. 🎱

I don’t practice as much as I should. Unfortunately, my eyes have gone, meaning I’m not as good as I used to be either.

And I was going to ask for a ride in the M8...maybe not :)

I was expecting the Seinfeld clip 🤣

reply

Yes we have one. My husband has a bad shoulder and can't play anymore - no point in me doing it alone. It gets used primarily when friends and family come over.

reply

No I don't approve of eating in the pool.

reply

Yep. Impossible to wait 30 minutes!

reply

It only encourages them.
