Where can I get my pool balls engraved?

I want to prepare a very special gift for my friend who is a pool enthusiast. I am thinking about getting him a set of personalised pool balls but I cannot find this service in the UK. Some US companies can do it but they specialise in american balls, not british and that's the main problem. Does anybody know where I can order custom made british-style pool balls?

Also, do I really need to order custom made balls? Can I simply buy ready made ones and take them to timpsons or it would damage the balls?

Somebody help...I know nothing about billiards but I really want to prepare a good gift..

Is this a good idea? I mean, it is a nice thought, but would engraving change the balance and roll of the pool balls?

How creative are you?

Hello,

I live in a city with two colleges and a very large high school. Furthermore there is a large community of "artsy/organic" people living here as well. The city has a lot of charm and even more potential. Ten years ago it was a dump and now little boutique shops and businesses are popping up along with an influx of upper middle class citizens. Business in the area is thriving.

Sadly I have noticed that there are no recreation or personalized services in town. Specifically catering to the target crowds I have mentioned above.

My question is: As a High school or College student in a relatively urban setting, what kind of business/service would you like to have available to you? There are enough bars,coffee shops, restaraunts, billiards and pizza joints in the area so I would like to target something else. Something....outside the box but affordable addicting and of course FUN!!

Any Ideas?

Game playing places are real popular with the "yuppie" crowd. My brother-in-law likes to go to an "indoor golfing" place where you can practice your putting or swing using electronic equipment and a semi-virtual reality type thing. They live in Irvine, CA.

Also the big game places like Dave & Busters are popular. These are indoor restaurant and video game arcades. But the games vary from indoor laser tag to video skiing and racing, to standard video games. I see more adults there than I do kids though.

Anything that features live music or up and coming local bands can make money too. Just have to do it right. Unfortunately a lot of good coffee houses have gone under because the bands outshone the business. People came to hear the music but didn't buy any food! But there's another great restaurant chain in California called the Rendevous. They serve dinner, and offer live music from locals. So it's the best of both worlds - and very popular with the upwardly mobile set.

That's all I can think of. Sorry I wasn't more original.
