When I clicked that link, I saw a picture of Ronnie and this following quote;

"CALL him Royal Ronnie O'Sullivan. The Rocket wants snooker's World Championship to take April 29 off so players can see the big wedding."

Is that it? Or is there more to the article that I am missing. No supposed quotes or mentions of where they got this information from? They say you can't even trust the date in The Sun, but bucking hell there doesn't even seem to be any fact for The Sun to twist round here. That's like one of the posts we had on here on April Fool's day. How do we know anything happened at all, let alone it being true?
