A friend I cross cues with had a need for a snooker table, having a triple-width garage while all the cars lived on the driveway. Scouring eBay, he scored one (complete with proper tasselled light, walnut and brass scoreboard, cue rack and accessories cupboard) for �300. A bit more swift research and he found a lovely old boy who went and collected the thing, transported it 200 miles and assembled it in the garage complete with new cloth and cushions for another �300. Six hundred quid and he was operating. The additions to the garage cost a bit more - two beer fridges, widescreen TV and DVD player, that sort of thing - but bearing in mind his best cue cost him over �300 it isn't bad. And his 14-year-old boy has just qualified for the Junior World Masters and will be playing for the England Youth Snooker Team next season, thanks to the practice availability (and a pro coach who goes round there every other week). > Oh you are thinking of that horrible canned dish america inflicted on > this reality...SPAM.
