I don't enjoy the respect of 'any' of my fellow members of "The Black Ball Sharps", a drinking and pool playing group. I constantly hear references about my lack of intelligence and social awkwardness, they don't put it as politely as I just have mind you, there is much mirth and merriment when I'm discussed.
I have very little self esteem left.
Would you be interested in accepting my invitation to an evening with "The Black Ball Sharps" with a view to becoming a fully fledged member?
