Craig & Jason made me sign us up on the blackboard to play that evening, among all the regulars on the list to play. I've seen those guys play, all skilled and cynical pool killers, so as I saw the list I put Craig's name first, then myself and then Jason so maybe I could be lucky to play one of them.
Craig though, turned out to be a killer himself, so he went up there and bet Caz, the australian shark, who was to take him on, so my plan pay'd back, and I had to play him.
I did what I could, but it wasn't good enough and I had to leave the table again after ten minutes of fame and attention from the hungry pool sharks who had watched our poor performance on the green velvet, and you could tell how they wanted to come on there, to show how pool should be played.
Then it was Jason against Craig. Craig won again, and then he was left alone with all the names on the blackboard. I think Craig did finish one more of though, but not long time later he again was at the table outside, and we could continue our conversation from before our names came up at this blackboard in "the Duke of York".
What that conversation was about I don't remember.
It must have gone for some time and Graham went to the table once again and manage to stay there for some games, I didn't go up there again and I guess that it will take some time before I'll do that, and I need some secret practice somewhere, I just don't know where that could be.
