lol
French version indeed has no pockets. Well done Istenem. :D

Bizzare game really. The cue ball has to hit 2 cushions before hitting the second 'object' ball or something like that. The blokes I was watching were amazingly skillfull. Rediculously good at judging angles/side

yep, VLK was his real name. czech uses Ls and Rs as vowels, CMRJL is a bee.

but his name is the clue in the question.

i would have thought a diabetic would be very wary of pepsi,there must be 2-3oz of sugar in a 1 can alone. :?

nope and nope i'm afraid. this is one of those pleasing things where a random guy sticks two fingers up at the corporate giant. btw it is VLK.
the smarties thing was an oblique clue.

in a strange way, you are quite close Mr Lugsy, but there was a bit more to it.
