I won't miss him there that's for sure
Selby is the one I'm most looking forward to meet.

However, I see that Reanne Evans is in the qualifiers!
Andre will be sat front row for that one....
Or am I judging others by my own lack of standards?

He's one of the few top players I haven't met yet, and I quite like his personality, really.
So yeah he's the definately the one I'm most looking forward to, and a few others such as MJW of course.

I got a photo of me and Selby from a few years ago at Telford....
Yes, long time posters, I am telling that story again.
I'm not cool enough, trendy enough, technological enough or generally a good enough person to own a camera phone or anything else that takes instant photos. So I had an old school disposable camera on me. Anyway, I saw Selby walking around, ran up and asked for a photo and lobbed my camera at a nearby stranger indicating that I wanted a photo taken.
Anyway, we did that awkward thing men do when they have to stand close to each other for a photo. Not sure whether to just stand looking cool, or whether to put my arm on his back to get closer into the photo. I went with the arm on the back, but Mark Selby's quite tall and I misjudged it.
I stood there for a second going; "Oh no, my hand's on Mark Selby's bottom." Then I realised, in my shock, I'd waited too long and couldn't move it. I mean, I'd taken a second and a half to realise where my hand was, and I didn't want him to think I knew my hand was there, and took a second and a half to move it. I just had to stand there, and pretend I hadn't noticed.
I got a photo of me and Selby somewhere, with me looking petrified and him looking suspiciously happy.

Oh Snookerfan, that's why we love you. Hold on, let me just vote for you in one of the countless polls that are going on right now.

Exactly mate!
Yet GJ is still insisting calling this a marmite and absolute rubbish event
Robbo shouldn't have entered Gdynia Open then and then wouldn't have played the CoC

It seems that Reanne is consistently losing her first matches straight away because of tactical reasons. I guess that people are (tactical wise) biting here and she always falls into it.
But how about Robbo´s domination
I couldn´t much post during the UK Championships. Robbo-san´s domination and form has been somewhat tiring. Don´t take it wrong way, I absolutely love it and adore him because the way he can play. Absolutely stunning 147 also. But I think with these situations is better not to make any predictions or guesses. Just see how it will go and continue. Williams vs O`Sullivan at the Masters can change everything. Or then nothing lol. Just wait and see.

It all depends on the shifts of the moon, or maybe the sun.
Williams-ans vs O'Sullivan-sans could change everything. Ronnie has wisdom to know that you don't put tomatoes in a fruit salad.
Shaun Murphy has no evil twin, but if he did, it would change nothing. Or everything. Or possibly something.
Bananas.

Dunno how much of this I'll watch. Might order the Anthony Joshua PPV, but may not. It's not a PPV worthy fight.
Then again the PTCs aren't the best televisual spectacle the first two days. Might watch the final day. Depends on whether I order AJ or not, and how hungover I am.

Apparently tomorrow's first TV match is Matthew Stevens vs Wenbo Selecta.
That's a decent match for an opening day PTC. Usually one of the players is asome crappy amateur, which who loses 4-0.
Then again, Matthew Stevens.

Plan is to combine watching the PTC with doing important rubbish until Sunday. I also need to watch that Robertson v Wenbo match from the UK at some point, maybe next week.

It's barely worth the money I spend on it. And it's free in the work canteen.
