    I have cancer. I found out last week and it's a bit of a shit really. I saw the surgeon today and he was pretty positive, he'll operate tomorrow if they can fit it into the schedule or shortly after. Then its more tests to look for any secondary cancer and hopefully that'll be the end of it. Who needs two balls anyway? :)

    Hope it goes well. The surgeon sounds positive and the results are normally excellent if it is caught early enough!

      Actually going by the name of the game snooker would be dull even with two balls. Trying to snooker your opponent with just two balls on the table is quite impossible. ;P :-D Cheers!

      You could hide one behind an ornament on the mantelpiece? Not in the rules, I admit, but you'd have to be a bit flexible with only two balls to play with...

        2 balls left on the table is a common thing. You can't hide the ball to create a snooker - but the player can miss. And you can create long distance situations between the 2 balls - so plenty of possibilities to play.

              If only to avoid freaking out the ladies. Of course, there are ways around it. "Yeah, but my brother has three, so it evens out." Thought about this a lot this year. I'm not entirely convinced the doctor is right and, admittedly, the symptoms have abated. Still...

                        Good luck, man :rose:. Makes me feel like a real sissy for worrying about two patches of skin cancer I've had removed in the last six months. Hmm. This reminds me of something I always wanted: a picture of Lance Armstrong in the yellow jersey, with the caption: Imagine if he had two. ;)

                              Sorry to hear that Josh... Cancer sucks, as you know. I do know someone who had that particular form of cancer, and now years later is still going strong with only one, so hang in there.
