Whistling, singing & humming in a snooker hall

gurramok

As some of you younger un's may not play snooker(:)), I was in a snooker hall tonight whereby there was in the last hour before closing time just 2 tables occupied playing in a large hall with lots of noise about

The other table were 2 oulfella's who looked about 80, a bit like Laurel & Hardy. One fella when taking a shot kept whistling the fricking birdie song from the 80s(wtf? :mad), between shots he kept humming some Dean Martin song(i think), he could barely hold the cue to take a shot and both players had ID hanging out of them as if they either escaped from Brendans mental hospital or the nursing home.

I and my playing partner made glances of our annoyance towards the cashier a few tables away who just laughed it off. What would you have done about this situation, advice?

I'd have thought it was great that the 2 lads were out having a game of snooker and hope I'd be as chirpy at their age.

It's only a game OP.... but I'd put up a real good fight :pac:

I'm 6 foot 6, so I can usually get away with yelling "SHUT THE FUCK UP" in these situations, but only after checking the wristbands to ensure they weren't the needle carrying types.

TBH, if they want to act the gobsh|te, they should go into a pool hall.

But this really affected my playing opponent the most , the oulfella kept humming and singing that Martin tune when my partner was about to strike the ball. It wasn't deliberate as if the noisy phooker was watching, just bad timing. Was funny at the start but got annoying and that whistling of the birdie song, now can anyone explain that?
