Cheers is filmed before a live studio audience.
What has this got to do with the snooker?
Well, if I have to spell it out for you, you wouldn't understand.

I like Cheers, but I like Newhart more.
It came out the same year as Cheers (1982).
It's a gentle comedy about a stammering innkeeper.

If Lei wins the title, HappyCamper will get at least 300 Think Pink points.
On top of an already record scoring season, I suspect this would make trying to get a record score nigh on impossible in future editions.

I'm watching the end of Gardener's World before the snooker starts.
I've just learned how to cover a plant with a plastic bag. Nice.

So, given how much it's usually brought up when there's no need to, how long until the first mention of the 1985 final, seeing as its the 40th anniversary?
What time will they stop waffling by and what time will the first matches actually start?

Yes, that's even the case in France, country of snooker.

I will be watching Selt on the telly. I want to see what his mumbling/self-commentary is all about.
But I will be keeping my eye on Ogden on the tablet as well, in case something interesting happens.

I shall be watching Wilson v Lei, because I have Wilson in my Think Pink, I want to keep an eye on THE CURSE, I don't want HappyCamper to get a gazillion Think Pink points and because it will make AlexOpaul grumpy if Wilson wins.
So there's a lot riding on this match.
