How was he doing that? Simple, after sipping beer to his satisfaction from the red cup, he'll drop the cup somewhere close to him, play some snooker, wanting to wet his mouth again...he'll take a sip. And that's how it kept on going, John kept on playing the snooker game alone, but it was fun. Why? 'cause as he played, he and Leonard chatted and continued sipping their cups of beer.
And Leonard watched intently as John played, he was observing and learning. Playing the game alone for close to 45 minutes, a guy walked over to where the both of them were standing and said to, John,
"I can see that you're a good player, I've been observing you for some time now. Would you like to go a round with me? Would you like to play with me?".
The game was about to become more interesting. John glanced at Leonard, then he glanced at the guy and uttered,
"OK then".
