Here I Go Again

We found this bar last night (Thurs 28/06) called Mustangs which is cool, it plays Fox sports on the projector and always has mountain biking videos playing on one of the TV screens. They were running a pool and table tennis competitions that night too, we joined the pool one which cost $5 and you get a free beer (which we actually worked out that it was cheaper to keep buying into the pool competition than to buy beers on their own - and you get a game of pool). Jonny was up first and did quite well against a guy called Ralph, he managed to get to the black but Ralph ended up getting it first. Then it was my go, I was playing a guy called Jerry. I lost, quite quickly actually, I started chatting to Jerry afterwards and he told me he knew he was going to win as soon as he saw the way I held the cue. He also told me that he’s been winning the pool competition there for 3 weeks and has won 491 competitions altogether… I should have know my chances were low when he pulled a nail file out of his pocket to smooth his cue tip before we started the game. Later on he pulled me aside and showed me a few things like how to hold the cue and a few other secrets I won’t share so that I can try and have some sort of advantage next time I play. We didn’t have time to join the table tennis one though which was a shame ‘coz I’m sure I could have won a few matches there after watching some of the other players, maybe next time. Jerry’s the guy in the read Coca Cola tshirt, and later on his hands and knees trying to break dance.
