Your snooker idol is Alex and you're saying go Selby? Seriously? Is this Jekyl or Hyde talking?

Listen mr guru. ..you don't know me and you may not realize or realise that I am a relatively new snooker follower and yes I learned about the hurricane after the fact. Why the hell can't I go for Selby? You are trolling me pure and simple.

This has probably been asked before, why is it only bbc Wales, if they've got the rights why not show it on bbc 2 for the whole country even if it's just highlights ?

Looking forward to Belgian Bullet v Chinese Sensation, Darth Selby v the Welsh Potting Machine and of course Rocket v Yu.
Hong Kong Fuey v Toilet Break Ice Rattler and the Wizard v White Lightning could be good as well.

s/fan
top of the morning to ye !!!
I have decided to have a mini blow out today. I have had my breakfast which consisted of weetoos (1 bowl thereof) and 3 kiwis (sliced in half and spooned out).
Its cold outside and I don't fancy going out, so gonna have me a drink and some snacks whilst watching the snooker.
last evening I stocked up on booze from my local Sainberriies. I have some of the funny cider (black cherry Bulmers). It was recommended to me by a guy in store who said it was "awesome". I have some bacon rashers (frazzles imitations) or some onion rings.
S/fan - bacon rashers or onions rings ??
S/fan - is it okay to start drinking now ???

I predict Ronnie's match today will last less than 45 minutes.

S/fan - bacon rashers or onions rings ?? I personally prefer Onion Rings. The Tesco ones are quite nice, but cost a whopping £1.04. At Sainsburys, they are £1 and are fairly edible with a 4p saving. I get a big bag in sometimes when I'm having a drink with my mate. They keep promising to get some from the Asda near them. I need to tell them to remember next time.
S/fan - is it okay to start drinking now ??? I once went to the pub to watch an England rugby game when they were playing in Australia. It was about 9:30am and I was eating bacon sandiwches and having a pint, the staff didn't mind. In fact the dirtiest look I got was when I ordered a second bacon sandwich. Drinking before midday, fine. Enjoying their food so much I had seconds, I was the greediest of fat chameleons in their eyes....

I am sorry to hear your nationality is a burden to you. Glad to see a yank appreciating snooker. Personally, I love your 9-ball, great fun.

I still got a shit-ton of chocolates left over from Christmas. Even after Saturday where I managed to palm off some shortbread on somebody.
I might have some Maltesers or some of those ones with Strawberry cream inside in tonight. Oooh, just remembered I got some chocolate liqueurs. Maybe I'll save those, being that I am already planning to have a few pints in Cardiff.

Might be an idea to book in a triple heart by-pass as well.

Hey, maybe that's what Ronnie could be doing if he's so bored.

And look. There's no play on Saturday.
Those cheeky chameleons sold me a ticket.

Never a mistake like that when Wildey used to make his own of order of play rather than cheap out with a link/

That's because Snooker Island features top notch professionals, not amatuers.

Anyone willing to give me £60000 to become a pro? Cover my 10000 hours playing time. You'd get it back as 10% of all my prize money up to £100,000
