I also like Ronnie O sullivan.

Nice how you chose both of the losers there

Personally I wanted Ronnie to win the competition. Never mind.

So today it's Mathew stevens and Hendry. Not two of my favourites, but still, it should be worth watching.

I think Jones will pull back from the second isle and cut around the mid-term with at least sixteen credits juxtaposed with interventions from the supreme judge panel; in the end he'll be defeated by Willis with that wooden mallet tho.

Well, it's not semi-time, or the 3rd quarter of the 2nd half etc.

But it looks like Stevens is going to win right at this second...

C'mon Welshboy...

Many religious types get stuck in the same logical loop when comtemplating how their patron High Being can always predict what they're going to choose... no matter what they choose...

By the way, I was rooting for Stevens until I saw him lug that minigun into the infield-- no way! Of course Bill (2nd voxel carrier on the right) gave him his due with the that A-four cyberion. Who else thinks the pitfalls are going to jolt Meric and Vess out of the 3rd platform?

Snooker is this new game show that is on Sky One, every second thursday, about 9pm. ie. that sweet spot inbetween 2000 episodes of Simpsons and Temptation Island. And then another 2000 episodes of Simpsons. And repeat.

It involves a couple of blokes pretending that they are really rich (Snooker means person with lots of dosh in council houses - Council house being something like a mansion). Lots of "cues" (ie. women who are gold diggers) then have to go out with the blokes in various "reality" places such as Ibiza. They have to try and get a "decent break". Which basically means free holidays, based on the colour of the underwear they get the blokes to wear (black is best, as it equals 7 days).

Phrases such as "screwing back on the pink", "potting the black", and "bending around the brown", can be explained by more talented, erm, talents.

Yes, a sport where they all go to Ibiza and try to eat "chalk" to earn prizes from the pets. Upto a maximum break of 147... erm...

Nah, not really. Although I don't know if I'd call it a "big time sport". Is not football (ie. best game in the world, and I'm not talking about the body armour thingy from across the pond here) or F1.

Is sort of 2nd division along with darts, rugby (although wait for it on that one ) , cricket (oh no no), and athletics etc. Although we seem to know snooker player names a hell of a lot better than, say, rugby (up until a certain event a while back....)

Cheers

Ps. Anyone ever watch snooker in black and white when they were a kid???? I used to love snooker, and only had a B&W TV. Could honestly tell what the balls were after a while. Although red and brown was a bit of a bugger if I remember rightly....
