EVEREST

Lynne and 'Mantha are playing snooker. Lynne tells 'Mantha that Stew attempted Everest with sexy Sara. 'Mantha asks if he got very far. Lynne replies that he didn't even get to first base.

Lynne and 'Mantha don't really know how to play snooker. They understand that you have to hit the white ball first to try and hit the other balls, but after that they are lost. Here, they have potted seven of the 15 red balls, but they have also potted the green, brown, pink and black balls without replacing them. This is going to severely affect the scoring of the game. It may be that they are just practising, in which case there will be no score.

One reason why they won't be playing a proper game of snooker is that this particular table has no pockets on it. It begs the question of where those other balls have gone. The women are so bad that the balls have been flying off the table. Some are under the sofa, others are behind the curtains. One even went out the French windows.

This ridiculous table must be the work of Sammy. Sammy is a highly skilled carpenter – just look at the craftmanship on those legs, but he is so drunk all the time that he forgets the most simple of things, in this case pockets on a snooker table. It can be ranked alongside his wardrobe with no doors and his coffee table with no top.

  2. it also seems that Samantha may have hit that last shot into Lynne's eye, or caught her with the cue, either way Lynne's gonna have a shiner in the morning,

  3. Once again, George and Lynne's creators have produced what appears to be the intro to an adult movie. Mark my words, in the blink of an eye, Lynne and 'Mantha will be involved in a naked romp on that table. And then George will come home from work......

  5. It is not clear what Lynne means by 'first base'.

  6. Since the table is pocketless and, in any case, much too small for a snooker table, the game is most likely some obscure form of carom billiards. The configuration of balls does not seem to match any standard variation, so perhaps they are playing to rules of their own devising. However, the intellectual prowess demonstrated by Lynne and Samantha in both owning a table for such an esoteric sport and creating a new form of the game seems at odds with the vapid quality of their conversation, demonstrated by the feeble sexual innuendo. Perhaps they are merely visiting the house of an intellectual who does have an interest in carom billiards, and like 'Hughesie' (the author of this analysis) they have no notion that billiard games beyond snooker and pool exist. Perhaps prior to the Everest joke they have expressed their own bemusement at encountering a 'snooker' table with no pockets and are now merely aimlessly striking the balls while they wait for the intellectual, who is curiously absent, to return. Who the intellectual is and why these imbeciles have been invited to his or her house remains unknown.
