Who Said That?!

Did Ebdon say it? About Lisowski?

Inspired guess. It's Ebdon speaking, but not about Lisowski. He's not talking about a snooker player, but someone else.

Lionel Messi?

Peter Ebdon?

not a sports person.

The other Trump - Donald

by Peter Ebdon

a little closer.

British.

Ugh.

Boris Johnson?

(Ebdon)

The person has never been prime minister, but is a British leader of sorts, and possibly more famous than the prime minister.

Ugh.

Nigel Farage?

(Ebdon)

I would say Farage is several levels of famous below the PM, despite his pervasiveness on Question Time, etc.

Ebdon's comments were made in the early to mid-1990s, so it was someone who was famous then. They have never been an PM/MP/MEP. They make rare appearances in parliament, although their role is mostly a symbolic one.

Tempted to say Black Rod, but I’ll go with Charlie Windsor

'Prince Charles', as he then styled himself, is right. After searching, I see it's actually from this 2003 article when he was world champion.

That comment might not even be the oddest thing in the interview, which covers everything from his '1 million horse database' to accusations of him being a psycho by his opponents. However, as the interview progresses, and we get to know Peter better, it becomes clear that his 'psycho tag' is trivialising and even potentially harmful ... to psychos.

Alright, you’ve got me. I’ll click that

Well, say what you like about Ebdon - he’s never dull

You fool. That's probably the most deleterious of all the links ever posted in this forum.

Who is more foolish? The fool or the fool who Follows him?

Who's go is it now then?

Patiently waiting for confirmation

Still patiently waiting for confirmation.

It’s Ed’s turn.

Over to you Ed

Patiently waiting for a question.

"when I see ----- ----- I see two letters - C and S : Cue Sorcerer"

That’s got to be Yates. Not sure about the player, though. Maybe Chris Small?

It is not Yates. A far greater human specimen is responsible, and the missing words is (are?) the name of a snooker player but not necessarily those initials.

Confusing, I know

Stephen Hendry
Ted Lowe.

Not sure who was the speaker and who was the player, though.

Neither of them I’m afraid.

The subject is another up there with Hendry amongst the greats.

The speaker is a commentator best known for chatting about flying projectiles, but also did some cuesport commentary - but not (to my knowledge) snooker

Sid Waddell? Talking about Steve Davis.

What you’ve done there, Prop, is taken a nail and caught it squarely on the sweet spot



the wonderful wizard of words, Waddell

Really?! That was a punt and a half!
