SCORPIO THE POOL PLAYER

All my life i have been an avid player of all cue sports......snooker, pool and american 9 ball pool - i tried to turn professional at snooker but struggled due to the standard required and i did turn professional at american 9 ball pool and travelled Europe in certain tournaments (i did win 2 local tournaments on the tour circuit.......which had 2 world champions in the field)
so, after 2 seasons i had to quit because my arthritis was too bad for me to play with any confidence, comfort or accuracy.........but, after the last few weeks i decided to apply for a tour spot next year and luckily, because i am already known i have been given an invite to the next tournament in Blackpool next W/E.............even though i expect to bomb from the tournament i feel exhilerated to just be invited and it'll be great to see some of my old friends after 18 months away
sorry, this story was not meant to be a red book moment - just sometimes it is nice to hear something positive
ther, my piece has been well and truly said - sorry if i have bored anyone
