==>Both my parents came from the same town in Calabria and can trace their roots back for generations; but, I was born and raised right here in T.O.
My favourite school subject

There you go, a little bit about me

Well... I can see the connection... both are involved in the study of life,
including their respective structures, functions, and evolutions, etc...

Sounds like a perfect background for Utopia's Raisin Boy.

The Filipino's love any sort of balls-on-a-table-and-wack-them-with-a-stick sort of sport (calm down DD). What's more they are very good at it. They don't play snooker, but they love and are very good at 9 or 10 ball and variants of those games. We have a couple oi world champions that live basically where I am. I've played one of them, well, the game went like this, my contribution to the game was breaking and then watching the Magician finish the game from there. Well worth the 100Peso.

Cool. Snooker seems to be expanding into the Far East a lot at the moment (especially China) so may come over too the Phillipines at some point.

It would be great to see how the good Filipino pool players would go once they had a chance to adapt and learn the intricacies of snooker. On the other hand, have you had a chance to watch any of the Filipino greats playing their 9 and 10 ball games? They are pretty good.

This guy is considered one of the greats, plus he's a super nice and modest guy to boot. Definitely a man of the people. He lives not far from me and I come across him every now and then. He's happy to share a drink and chat in a bar and, will play anyone who wants to say they've played against him - lots of those around here.
