A Word About Billiards

Hello,  I'm grumpy and this site is about giving information on billiard tables and accessories, the meaning of all the terminology of billiards, and a brief history of billiards and more. I am here to help you through the great world of billiards and if you'll stay quiet for a few minutes I'll explain billiards to you. Billiards is a great pastime to get you through the evening, so you do not have to spend it with the wife. That darn woman always wants me to do more around the house now that I'm retired. Well I don't want to. I'd rather play billiards and drink a cold beer with my friends.

Enter the site if you want more information on billiard lighting and accessories, the meaning of all the words, and a brief history of billiards. You'll be surprised it was developed by the French Royalty. (Don't get me started about the French!) But any how, where was I ? Oh yes... Come on in and find some of the moves and shots I do. and if you are a real tight a** you can even play by the rules which I will explain in more detail. And if you like you can also find a couple of links to sites that sell billiard tables. But don't hold me responsible if you don't get the table you want. I don't check their business practices.

Billiard table requirements

Now a billiard table is about 4 ½ feet wide and 9 feet long. But, don't quote me. And of course it should have a nice felt like surface. There are a total of six pockets. One on each corner and 2 on the middle sides. (In case you have been living on Mars and have not seen a billiards table before. It also has rails where you can rest your beer in between shots. Be sure you get a wide rail. I'd hate to see you spill a beer or an orange juice (for all you tea toddling sissies) on your table and have to replace the felt at a cost of about $100 -$250.
