Touching Elbows - Snooker

[Bazile]

A bit odd to see the players touching elbows instead of shaking hands

[Tilly2]

That's the norm now, Baz.

[Mamyalynne]

No one is touching mine without permission.

[Canary42]

. . . . . then pocketing their balls.

[Tilly2]

Mamya, your elbows are indeed sacrosanct. :-)

[shoota]

May I...?

[Mamyalynne]

Tsk!

[tonyav]

Elbows ! who mentioned elbows ;-)

Tried touching spherical objects and got banned for 10 weeks :-)

[BAKERS DOZEN]

Laughable really because they then touch the table every time they play a shot and the next player does the same. Not watching it as the rugby is on but I assume they are not wiping down the table edges after every shot.

[choux]

Why not? Just so long as they keep one foot on the floor at all times ;)

[Mozz71]

It's a bit weird that it's being played at all tbh.

[Ken4155]

It's not touching the table that worries me. It's when they both keep kissing the pink.

[aelmpvw]

lots of Chinamen playing snooker ...

[Ken4155]

ael; You need your eyes testing. Those Chinamen are simply dining out. those are chopsticks, not snooker cues:-)

[janzman]

If I'm wearing a short sleeve shirt and so are you and we bump elbows, isn't that the same as shaking hands. It's still skin touching skin.

[aelmpvw]

i suppose the world arm wrestling championships will be cancelled indefinitely

[JJ109]

Janzman - unless I am mistaken, it is impossible to place your elbow over your mouth when you cough!

[bhg481]

The idea is to avoid getting the virus on your hands as you touch your face with them; other parts of the body are less likely to touch your face.

Vulcan salute anyone.... Accompanied by live long and prosper
