The table: It's too big

Not always... but why do pubs always put pool tables in rooms that are slightly too small? There are always shelves or cupboards or railings or girls or banisters or tables or stools or a miriad of other obstacles that are just there, preventing you from taking your cue back to the extent you might like. Do they do it on purpose to increase the challenge?

Try some Viagra. Consolidate your loans for less than 3%.

I often wonder just how they get the pool tables in those tiny rooms. How?

How to invest in penny stocks!!!

I think, in some cases, they must put the pool table in during construction, and build the rest of the pub around it. This may explain why York has so few pool tables - most of the buildings are very old, having been constructed prior to the invention of pool.

I'm thinking it must be like a ship in a bottle kind of thing. They insert the pool table in some kind of collapsed form then pull a string and... voila!
