True or false:
Ronnie O'Sullivan has more books out than Barbara Cartland.

I lost count half way through but it is, I believe, false.
Incidentally, Ronnie's new book,
Unbreakable, is available for pre-order at all good bookshops:

OK, OK :
Whose Crucible record is this?
Surprised me a little, because although I knew the gentleman in question never made the one-table set-up, off the top of my head I thought he had appeared in 5 or 6 QFs, rather than just two…
Anyway, here we go, as usual with the year he first qualified as a starting point :
R1
R1
(dnq)
R1
R1
QF
R2*

Not a bad shout, but I knew Dom had only made two QFs. Also, he’s (perhaps surprisingly) only made the Crucible seven times in his long career, and has never been seeded there.
So, no

After the tobacco sponsorship ban started in 2003, the advertisements on the arena sidings began to look different.
Here's one from the Irish Masters in 2004. What was promoted behind the censored area?

That says "[Irish Mast]ers [semifina]l' - it's part of the Eurosport Logo, not the arena advertisment.
