Thought I'd put in a word before I set off for another days hard slog at work. Was on here last night trying to win torny and improve my ranking. Logged off and went to bed about 12.30am to get some sleep before my shift. Logged back on this morning for a quick game and noticed the same players were STILL playing in tornys. Asked a couple if they'd played all night, one of them said yes. I asked - what about work - he retorted work phhht.My point is i'll never get as good as these guys as the've got nowt else to do - this makes them parasites for me - leeching off the rest of us hard working souls, then lording it over us on here with their massive amount of game time to hone their skills whilst we toil. Ah well just wanted to get that off my chest. Solidarity brothers.

LMAO!! He's talking about me and marc <3. Love being a student and FINALLY having nothing better to do than play online pool xx

Even if you played all day and night, you still wouldn't be as good as marc and I anyway

true that niall but we can only try!!!

This made me laugh - the outcome of this is Niall and Marc have no life! Oh says me See you in the next tourn lads! And Key i would suggest you get another Job mate...Im in work at the moment and managed to squeeze in a game or two

sorry i'm a JUNIOR IN HIGHSCHOOL pmsl no one hires a 16 year old around here, i looked, wouldn't mind some extra cash to buy a nice computer and see what i could do!
i love when grown men get on here and tell teenagers they have no life for playing a game pmsl

It is silly how much some people stay on here though, that i agree. But i can't complain as i used to do the same lol.

I'm never on here at 5am honing my skills...

Maybe not 5am, how about 02.22am!!

I support every single last word of that.

I'm 16 so no work. I've looked for work. And being told off by old(er) people about playing an internet game is absolutely awesome!

The only difference is that I'm getting a new PC this weekend

Welcome to the digital age my friend... Some of us would play 24 hours if it wasn't for school and sleep.

EDIT: Be lucky you have a job in this current financial climate matey

PMSL I dont even remember playing that..i must have fallen asleep mid frame

im hardly on here too

Just for the record - I started work at 16 and I am 49 now - I have never been unemployed. So I think even though I am, as stated a 'grown man' - I think I've 'earned' a little R an R on here and am also entitled to my opinions.
Great site by the way, well done to all who are responsible for creating and running it - keep up the good work guys and girls.

u started work at 16 right, presumably in 1975 or 76, which in that economic climate would have plenty of jobs. times have moved on, 33 years to be precise, where there are hardly any jobs at all, especially for young, inexperienced people. and that is my input to the arguement.

There's always work pal if you're prepared to look for it.

Nah not always.

I think its personal to talk about work.

But I know for a fact (not including you niall) that some go on here in the early hours just to get tournaments which can be percieved as a tad sad

So the 2.26 million people (in the UK alone) who are out of work aren't actually looking for it

Read the article and change your mind on that one

This i'm afraid is the world that we live in. You will always get people who can't be bothered lifting their fat bottom's off their seat to go and do a hard days graft. Working would probably kill a few. Some people wouldn't even know the meaning of work.

i guess my work is running 6 miles a day and 10-12 miles on sundays sorry if that isn't enough for you guys my school has been state champions in cross country 3 years in a row but i guess you've all done that before too

My dad always tells me that I'll be working all my life, so why start while I'm still in college? If he knew I had a job he would kill me, I'm fortunate that he has an extremely good job and he provides me with what I want, when I want! So if I wanna play pool all day after playing golf or whatever else, I'll do just that
