I have to go to work this afternoon
Plan is to avoid any mention of what’s occurring
Then watch on an app probs Eurosport as live at 4 o’clock
Rooting for the Dreamboat to at least make an exciting match of it and not just sit in his chair (best seat in the house) watching Ronnie do an exhibition

I wonder if Ronnie will sit in his chair every time there’s a slight movement in the crowd, again

I expect ROS to be more relaxed in this tournament. The fact he won the most recent tournament was very important and put an end to a 16 month drought.
Irrespective of what happens between now and until the start of the Worlds the ultimate goal is obviously the 7th World title.

I wonder if Ronnie will be put off by the new music between frames.

I seem to recall first time Ronnie heard music between frames - sometime in the last few years. He was like “what’s that? Is that happening every frame?”

Probably
Depends if he gets in the zone. When he sat down while the crowd were moving about in the UK, he was clearly not in the zone. Any kind of sound or movement gets amplified and becomes a big distraction. But if you are in the zone, your brain somehow blocks it all out. Like being in a bubble. Things that might normally distract you just don’t register.

Yes. I think you’re right. And didn’t he tell them to turn it off? I might be imagining that.

Not sure, but I think he had his typical puzzled face

If you have a chocolate cake for desert, check the use by date.

No.
Eating Alien Chocolate has made me so ill, my spelling is even worse than normal.

Where were you keeping it? I recently found some bars of chocolate that I forgot I had (they were in a box in a cupboard), all with "best before" dates from 2015 and 2016. I've been eating them and they're absolutely fine. Maybe you just have a sensitive stomach.

We've been over this before. They looked like something from a Ridley Scott movie.
Manty will confirm.

Chocolate itself doesn't really go off.
But if it's a cake there could be a cream, or eggs or something.

Saying that, the cupboards in my kitchen arent too far from my radiator.
Bit of a design floor.

No, high cupboard. Radiator on the wall. I do have it hot.

I didn't realise me finding half melted, rotten chocolate would fascinate everyone so much.
