Ocelot Spleens Jul 2024 8:42am, 24 Jul 2024 39,329 posts	Quote Pin Ocelot Spleens We had a table tennis, er, table at home, that folded up, we also had a 6ft Snooker table, that stood up against our bedroom wall. Dad bought it home one day, he played mini snooker more than us, but he is 5 foot 1, so proper table was difficult for the old bugger.

I try not to think too hard about that, it messes with my sense of order.

My mother-in-law (in her late eighties) started playing a few years ago after she got too old for tennis. She plays every day and is surprisingly hard to beat, in spite of breathing problems that stop her from walking for more than a few minutes at a time.
