Snooker

An unbelievable yellow in the antepenultimate frame. A crucial one too.

I just learnt a new word today, but yeah it was a hell of a yellow and massive balls to take it on

This was a final where I didn't care who won because they are both likeable characters, great speech by Murphy after the game and a bit of comedy genius where the Chinese would have stapled that flag to the young lads head if health and safety would have allowed for it.

Im not really into snooker and my 13 year old daughter CERTAINLY isnt.

But yesterday it was on before the city game and .. we both watched it . She was asking questions, put her phone down (rare) and was genuinely interested!
Not saying snooker has a new fan, more that talent is always appreciated

Bit weird the Chinese aren't they. I suppose they say the same about us.

What, all one billion of them....?

The Seniors is currently being played at the Crucible and presumably concludes over the weekend.

It wouldn't normally be notable apart from a few well known names from the past but it's got some actual top drawer players in it including O'Sullivan. Williams was meant to play but pulled out.

It's on Channel 5.

Why are the edges of the table white? Looks weird but I wonder if it’s to improve things for viewers with eyesight issues?

It’s because the seniors prefer white to brown.

Only a few minutes ago, there was an item about the Chinese snooker craze on the radio.
The chinese can study it as a subject at school and they are currently building a snooker hall that will have 1000 tables.

Before I had to retire, I’d spent over 30 yrs travelling to and from China on business. Snooker was very popular as far back as the 90s, before they had any star players. It will boom now!
