Don't blame it on the sunshine.
Don't blame it on the moonlight.
Don't blame it on the good times.

Blame it on Rob Walker.

Blame it on the rain that was fallin', fallin'
Blame it on the stars that didn't shine that night
Whatever you do, don't put the blame on you
Blame it on the rain, yeah, yeah

If Ronnie were to play at the Crucible this year, and with him skipping all of the remaining events, it looks almost inevitable that Mark Selby will move into the #3 seed and bump Ronnie down to #4, which would put Selby in Judd's semi-final and Ronnie in Kyren's.

I was going to do the usual WC Countdown thread, but I don’t want to snake hiss on SF’s Smarties.

There’s also the all-important Crucible Carpet Curse thread that’ll hopefully see a bit of action in the run-up.

So what’s everyone’s plans? Who’s booking time off? Who’s going? Are our non-UK members affected by the TNT/Eurosport bullocks, assuming you previously watched the Worlds on Eurosport?

What are World Champion Ogden’s chances of breaking the Crucible Curse? Is Murphy in WC form? Or will it be Judd doubling his tally? Is Luca ready? Has Higgins got the scent of prey again? Selby… Is Granite the blind squirrel that occasionally stumbles upon a nut?

The qualifiers start in just over a month, and we’ll have the pleasure of watching it all unfold, in the company of Ken, probably, and the wandering hands of Rob Walker. Then, it’s the big ‘un. Can’t wait!

Oh, almost forgot. Mon Ron.

Controversial, maybe, but I thought Prop snake hissing on SnookerFan’s smarties was way better :-)

Conversation last week with son of flooring contractor who supplied and installed flooring from 1977,told me to be available for big 50year celebrations 2027. He's heard rumours of final thanks to people involved in snooker at the Crucible.
