This is the standard to which you should aspire.

Few of you will attain this level, but without effort you will never realise your potential.

Great post

What do the percentages refer to...?

Well as it says 'chances' I presume it refers to chances of winning the tournament.

Unless it refers to their chances of being elected to Dalai Lama.

Sometimes I worry about the IQ of posters on here - not you D4P of course

I don’t know

If they were "chances of winning the tournament", they would all have to add up to 100%...

They add up to 1299%, I think. I guess that may have confused D4P.

(Yes, I did add them up. In my head. That's what I do.)

Edit: Buck this crap, miscounted twice. Now it's 1333% with the addition of Zhou.

Aaah yes - good point. I stand corrected.

I wonder what on earth those percentages could have meant given that they do not refer to chance of winning the WSC as they don't add up to 100?

That's assuming there can only be one winner.

Shouldn't there be 32? Looks like thunder from down under is missing.

HappyCamper wrote:That's assuming there can only be one winner.

Seems like a safe assumption...

I wonder if Assange referred to anyone?

Ck147 wrote:Shouldn't there be 32? Looks like thunder from down under is missing.

No, he is assange. Zhou Yuelong I think is MIA.

No, Hammad Miah is MIA but he was eliminated

Zhou Yuelong was missing. I knew the percentages weren’t adding up.

As I said,posters. If you wish to start a thread then this is the standard you should aspire to.

What a bucking car crash.

Ok thanks for clearing that up. I can see the resemblance (well from a few years ago - bit scary looking now,)

I was excited for a second when I thought it was 1323. An important date in Finnish history.

In Ireland, a single unit is made up of 1,333%.

Treaty of Noteborg?

Badsnookerplayer wrote:Treaty of Noteborg?

Mika Hakkinen's birth

Percentages aside, I do tend to agree that Ronnie O'Sullivan is quite talented, particularly at the game of snooker.

Badsnookerplayer wrote:Treaty of Noteborg?

Yeah, or Nöteborg to be precise (from Swedish). Pähkinäsaaren rauha in Finnish.

A literal translation would be Treaty of Nut Castle (Swedish) or Treaty of Nut Island (Finnish).

Great post

No one in their right mind would give Maguire a 41% chance of winning

When has anyone ever thought I'm in my right mind?

What are you in?

Your left mind?

Yes, the other has the looks but no brains, while the other has no looks whatsoever but has the brains. You know which tandem I am talking about.

Interesting to see what vehicle which will be next on? Can´t say much anything else about that tandem.

"This car is LEGENDARY !!!"

Yum. Just try to make the words right, if not anything else. Pink Ball got that correct. But how we could be foundingit impressive or intriguing if the vehicle is just LEGENDARY ?? Won´t be ringing any bells. Only reason to watch it is if there something interesting going on.

And I am now saying that so Mark Williams got Martin Gould lol.

That also sounds pretty good.

How about that draw? Well, Mark Williams got Martin Gould lol.

Just really sad about that Madeira-crash. The nation of close my hearth or even possible rude word suffered a real body-blow. Really sad about that Madeira-crash.

And now with those ones in Sheffield. Yeh, just as always with a most massive luck and while hearing some really worriying signs they got their usual even half-decent motoring going on. But anyone with a even half-snooker brain knows that even it isn´t that much great. And unfortunately, everyone also knows it won´t be lasting more than an hour. That their trademark even half-decent motoring. But so sadly, even that promise won´t be holding. Soon it is just staring, staring, staring, REBELLING. Staring, staring = REBELLING. And obviously that´s how the things always shouldn´t be even without this so infamously saga.

Soo once again making a promise from now on to comprehend the "doubles". Writing precisly something and it can actually something completely else too. A one wonder of a world. Yiks.

There´s also reads that I posses a very high risky profile lol. And that´s the truth. But without it there wouldn´t be any profits or benefits.

NOW I AM JUST ABOUT HANG ON, TO HANG ON. TO WAIT WHILE SOME KIDS ARE GROWING AND THEY PERHAPS BRING ME SOME MORE MONEY SOMEWHERE OVER THE FUTURE. DOESN´T BOTHER ME AT ALL IF JUST A ONE PERSON FINDS THAT OF WASTING HIS TIME AND PROSPECTS.

But who was that master of brilliant and slightly off the mark-parodies..?? Was it also some German bloke?? Who wrote so brilliantly off many of those otherwise a bit waste of a spaces?? Who drives all day long like Roy Orbison?? Do you miss any of those parodies?? Or should we still be discuss about just Neil Robertson (no flaws which would count) or about Ronnie O´Sullivan (no let dows so far), or about Peter Ebdon (no flaws, even when slightly unlucky at times)??

But it once again "might already now arrived". Might be a temptation to go for it, can´t do any harm. While there might be reading that "it has now finally arrived". Might be a reason to go for it. A bit of a mixed reports once again.
Luckily, that´s not distracting anyone´s life at all

Now we are ruling the world. While having nothing which would be a signal of personality. But hey, we are still ruling the world. All the tools are there, just compeletely now (unique) looks. But who even needs those.

Teppy: master of the 140 break... ouch. lolz
