Got some flat viewings tomorrow night, so I am making sure I stock up on provisions for the weekend (and hopefully beyond, depending on how much I consume.)
Beer and salty snacks will be purchased tonight, friends.

I thought I'd get the beers in now, get them nice and chilled for Saturday (and beyond). I brought 12. One sprung a leak.
I had three different four-packs then, the symmetary has gone out of the window.

Mate, I am so totally psyched about the return of BBC Snooker. All next week off. I think I may wet myself in anticipation.

They think he's got as much chance as Jimmy White.

Robertson Set For Dott Rematch
Neil Robertson will play in a ranking event on British soil for the first time since becoming Betfred.com World Snooker Champion this Saturday - and he does so against Crucible final opponent Graeme Dott.
Robertson beat Scotland's Dott 18-13 in Sheffield last May to become the first Australian to win the sport's biggest title, and hopes to come out on top again when the two go head to head in the 12BET.com World Open at the SECC in Glasgow at 2.30pm on Saturday.
"The two world finalists going at it in the first round should be fun,” said the Thunder From Down Under. "The matches are only best-of-five frames but there are a lot of ranking points at stake which puts the players under pressure, and that suits me fine. You have to make sure you are up for it from the first shot. There will be a lot of close matches, which is what people want to see."
Robertson has a superb record in Scotland, having won the Grand Prix in Aberdeen in 2006 and in Glasgow last year. “It’s been a happy hunting ground for me and I love playing in Scotland,” he said. “There always seem to be good crowds and a good atmophere. Last year I beat John Higgins in the semi-finals, 6-5 on the last black in an unbelievable match, which has to go down as one of my best ever wins."
But the left-hander still believes that there is room for improvement. “In the last five years I have won five ranking events, including the World title, so there’s not that much that I haven’t done yet," he added. "I made a step up in my game last season, my break-building improved, I made a lot of centuries (42, more than any other player) and my first official 147. But I still feel that I can become a better player, and I will do that if I work hard in practice."

do you get this enthusiastic when watching them play as you do on here? cause you sound like robertsons biggest fan. Do you cheer him on? chant? dance round the room when he wins? or pots a ball?

Robbo is right, there is room for improvement in his game and if he gets it right then he'll be a real handful for anybody no matter what the format.

Why do we have to wait until 2:30 until the snooker starts?
They should do a Crucible and start it at 10am.
