  • A little survey

    Hi folks. Just thought this would be useful to allow everyone to get to know each other a little better. Sure this kind of thing has been done before, but no harm in doing another. As we all love snooker, I've thrown in a few snooker related questions (not too many though)

    There's nothing too personal. I'll start with mine.......

    Favourite food - Indian
