Who do you want to win it? Ronnie I suppose, but it's unlikely. I'd like to see Ding Junhui, Mark Selby or Mark Williams win

Who do you think will win it this year? John Higgins

Who do you hope qualifies for the tournament? Gould, Trump, Doherty, Liang, Stevens, Lisowski, Walden (could make it anyway), Higginson, Hawkins, Ford, Steve Davis, McLeod, Jamie Jones, Jimmy, Lisowski, Davy Morris, Figuierido

I'm trying to maybe do Sheffield and Cheltenham once each over 2012 & 2013. The lady is pretty enthused about Cheltenham and going over for Ladies day, so that'll probably happen sooner, but then again I could also tell her to go buck herself <laugh> .

With you as her significant other, she probably is bucking herself....

Anyway, to answer tubber's questions;

Who is going to the tournament, the regulars or is anyone else going too for the first time? Me, for the 6th year running. :D I usually go to the opening weekend, and stay two or three years. In the absence of knowing who is in the first round, I figured I'd break the bank and do the final. It'll be the first year since I started going that I'm not going to the opening weekend. Which will feel odd, to go at the end and not the beginning. But one year, I also went to the final and it was a crap one Ronnie vs Ali Carter. I'm not keen on either man, so I'm hoping for a better one this year.

Who do you want to win it? Mark Williams

Who do you think will win it this year? :huh2: One of the 32 men that enter.

Who do you hope qualifies for the tournament? Depends. The top-16 will be different by then, but I'd love Ken Doherty to qualify, he's always been a favourite of mine. I'd like Dominic Dale to qualify as well, as he's a nice guy who doesn't qualify enough.

They're Witz's questions <ok>

Once one of Ding, Selby, Williams and Ronnie wins I'll be pretty content.

When I was your age, we didn't correct adults for fear of getting a smack.

Did you go to a Christian Brother's school?
