That's not the only thing you can do, you can add me to the poll! Or I will

Yeah, add Dan to the poll and then we can all make a point of not voting for him

Potential abuse of mod powers, Dan is going slightly mental locked down in the Spanish jungle. And talking about himself in the third person.

"World Snooker Tour and Professional Darts Corporation chairman Barry Hearn is in "good spirits" after suffering a heart attack on Sunday.

Hearn, 71, is set to return home on Wednesday after having surgery.

His son, boxing promoter Eddie Hearn, posted on social media: "My dad was taken to hospital on Sunday after a minor heart attack and was operated on yesterday.

"He is up and well and returns home today in good spirits. Thank you."

He paid tribute to the NHS for their treatment of his father, who also had a heart attack in 2002.

Hearn shot to prominence in the 1970s when he managed six-time snooker world champion Steve Davis.

He founded Matchroom Sport and promoted some of Britain's biggest boxing events from the late 1980s and also served as chairman of football club Leyton Orient from 1995 to 2014."

NHS the best health service in the world, we are lucky to have them.

I'm actually an NHS volunteer for the time being that's why I've been away for a bit

2020 is mad

Wait Hearn used to be chairman of Orient?

They went into serious financial when he sold them to a shady businessman in 2014, hopefully he doesn't leave snooker in such a mess when he leaves the game

Fair play to you - especially for not mentioning it.

Melts.

I have an update about Barry Hearn's heart attack, but I honestly don't know which thread to post it in. There's just so many to choose from, I'm spoilt for choice.

Never seen so much thread on one subject ive put them on one thread and it stays on one thread from now on

Good to see Barry Hearn back, firing on all cylinders again.

Keep it up and stay healthy, Barry. Snooker needs you for another 10 years at least.
