Mon, where do you find the time to find such things?! It does look fun, though, doesn't it? Unless you're the opponent ...

RSS feeds do it for me Keith ... posted it because I thought that's funny and interesting

Here's where I show my ignorance to everyone who is computer-literate - what is an RSS feed, Mon? Seriously, I haven't got a clue.

It's like an automatic assistant, right? It reads/links you up with articles that should interest you, just as an assistant used to.

Just a little for now Mon.

This machine is unbelievably strong, I really wonder whether it could be fitted into snooker.
It would be good if Ronnie vs Deep Green happened

Pool, the cut-down version of snooker preferred by degenerate hustlers and people who like fun

I wouldn't expect such description of pool in a known american magazine.

It would be real fun to build simmilar robots for snooker and then organise tournament for them, just like robot soccer matches are organised.

Would be tons of 147s then though

I would still pay to watch every one of them
