He can retire again as champion.
Just make a f***ing decision, man, and stick to it. Your snooker's great but your moaning is boring.

Re: Snooker
I watched more of the snooker this year than I have for a long while. Other than Ronnie though there aren't that many memorable characters. One I will remember is the Australian - mainly because of his moaning about the bouncey cushions.
I've never been to a "Billiards Hall" here - I take it they would all be 8 by 4 pool tables and they don't do snooker?

Oh, and oddly, the Georgetown part of Washington DC is rank with proper tables.

Re: Snooker
Not so. I used to play regularly in a "10 reds" tournament each Sunday at Centennial Billards, opposite Sam the Record Man on Yonge Street. The area's gone downhill and both establishments have closed but you can still find tables. We also played snooker at Cliff Thorburn's club but Suresh, who had the membership, got fed with Canada and went back to England taking his card with him. I suspect the Corner Pocket in Little Italy is still in business, they had at least one really good table.

Re: Snooker
We used to go there regularly in about 1984-6.

Yes indeed, it's Crucible time of year again!!!
I have a sneaky feeling Judd Trump may reach the final this year?
All the best.
