Thank you UP. I remember a few years ago someone actually released a book with all the different words for drunk. It wasn't you was it?

Snooker question.... imagine the unlikely scenario that every single ball on the table ends up dotted around inside the D. The cue ball is then potted. Where does the player place the cue ball ?

As an avid snooker player, i've never heard of that one!

I'll go for a similar scenario. If a colours spot is held, the cueball normally goes in a direct line behind the spot. So i'll go for aas close as possible behind the brown spot.

good question. (i like the title too)

no idea, how about on top of the other balls?

Nope and nope. As a snooker fan, this question was once posed to the BBC panel.

Although it is a bit of a red herring...

do they rerack?

Nope.

To be honest, I'm not going to be here for the next day, so I'll give you the answer. It's a bit of a con anyway....

The answer is that no matter what arrangement all the balls are inside the D, there will always be somewhere you can place the cue ball.

Sorry about that. Over to anyone that wants it

Damn, i did think about that one. But without a table to view, i couldn't scale size of D to 22 balls :x

Someone post a q. Might be me soon if i have nowt to do!

Ok then. Here's a silly one, as its silly o'clock here.

What have a monkey and a chainsaw got in common?

Neither of them can drive a tractor.

That is true (probably), but not the answer on my card. Try again

They could both think up a better question for the Phoenix

It involves trees :P

One climbs up trees, the other chops down trees.

Or maybe cos monkeys eat bananas which grow on trees which are then chopped down by chainsaws.

Or in other words, I don't know.
