Don't be daft. You wouldn't get the same joy out of a fake 180 as you would a real one (I'm guessing. Closest I've got was a 135)

Get the electronic one in then. | They're not quite snooker tips - they're a wee bit bigger but not as huge and unwieldy as the American tips.
I prefer American tips for American pool and the other kind for British pool as it's a more delicate game. | |

Have someone go round the pool tables with a spirit level. Unless you particularly want to market it as 'wacky pool', or whatever, having a table sitting at 5° to the horizontal isn't really much use.

Asda sell snooker cues for about three quid that are 5,000,000,000,000 times better than the crap sheerans give us. 10mm tip or so which i think is perfect for those size balls. given that we take a matric card as a deposit anyway i'm sure they wouldn't get too abused.
an onther point, please get a couple of subs for the jukebox in there or re-eq it or something; talk to Chris from ents hooooooooom or something, but fer the love of all that is holy make it stop sounding like everything is being played on a penny whistle.

giant twister.
or, even better, ball pool.*
*ok, i may just be pissed that my dad wouldn't let me build one at christmas time.
all you'd need to do is make sure they don't bring drinks/shoes into ball pit.
maybe you could exchange your shoes at the bar to get in.. | |

I saw a really hot guy in the games room last night. Can we make it so he's always there?

It doesn't now? 
Bring back the machine that would shout EIGHT-TEEN WHEELER from across the room just as you were about to take the break in your pool game, causing you to send the cue ball directly into the middle pocket without ever going near the pack.
Heh.

Users can get any single, everm by anyone, cos of its fancy internet connection. But I believe we can get albums put on too. Shal prod some folk, NIN and tallica would be an oversight indeed in there!
