Great. I'm doing alright as well. I also felt it was time to change the old avatar, a year was long enough.
By the way, I'll be on holiday in Portugal in September. Looking very much forward to that

Suarez could learn plenty from watching snooker.

Maybe Perry could try to teach him how to be a gentleman.
Lesson 1: don't bite people

Why do you think I put "played" in capital letters? The shot was PLAYED perfectly. The OUTCOME was imperfect. This shot was one of those rare occasions in snooker where you had to aim for the center of two successful outcomes and hope that the first red did not hit exactly where you aimed. He knew when he struck the shot that if he played it 100% perfectly then the second red would not drop, he had to hope that he didn't play the shot perfectly, however, unfortunately he did. He could have elected to play for either side to eliminate this issue, in which case a perfect shot would have met with a perfect outcome, however, the problem in doing so is that the margin of error on the shot would have halved.
If you're aiming for the 'centre of two successful outcomes' you're not playing a shot perfectly. And I don't know how the perfect way he played the shot was perfect if the second red wouldn't drop. The way he played it might have been the least likely to fail, but that doesn't make it perfect.

Drunken joking aside (I know, I've been hysterical), this was an immense final. People call event like this Mickey Mouse. But that was one of the best finals I've seen in a while.
The first snooker I saw was the odd frame or two yesterday. The first full match was today. And it made me wish I'd watched more. That was a brilliant example of why snooker isn't as boring as people make out.
A decent match is a decent match, no matter what tournament it's played in. And that, my friends at the Island, was a decent match.

Well said. There have been some dismal finals in so called bigger events, and two of the best finals of the last couple of years (imo) have both been in these 'tinpot' chinese events (IC with Ding and Fu, and Shanghai with Higgins and Trump in case you're wondering).

If I did, I'd have drank more than a six-pack.
There was a pub that opened the other week for the England rugby game in New Zealand. I was having a bacon sandwich by 8:30am, and a pint by 9:15am.
I know, I know. AA on standby.

I got the radio on now. They're playing that one by Boston.

Okay, you're right. No more beers for me. Except maybe a couple, because I fancy the barmaid next door.

Think Cloud meant Ding should be aiming for 36. Doubt he'd manage it though. He'd have to keep up last season's pace for another five years.

36 or not. I don't think its gonna happen. But the most important thing for him is now winning the World anyway.

19:30. China is BST+7, so the final finished just before 23:00 in China.
