[upton]

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeell!

i was walking home from uni, and i saw him, and i gave him a massive smile, and he smiled back, so i decided to approach! i sort of blurted out "I Love you!" and he just looked at me funny and said i was too young to like snooker! hehe, wicked! he said he was just on his way to play snooker, and i was like, "oooh, in the prem league! ooh, i dont think i'll be able to watch it because im a poor student and dont have sky" so he asked me which uni i go to and where abouts i live. he said the walk i have to do everyday was good excersise, which i agreed was especially good as i was carrying loads of shopping bags containing my work and my dinner! just as i was about to ask him for his autograph, his massive gate started closing, and he said "nice to meet you" and i just said "you too..." and then he was gone...what a great, lovely guy! he could have just told me to F*** off, but he was great! wish i had got his autograph tho...im a bloody art student...i dont think i know anyone who carries more paper and pens around with them then me!!!! ohh well..........

[Ellena]

Nice story upton! I've always imagined Jimmy being extremly friendly and socializing with ppl very easy , i guess i wasn't far from the truth.
I will join April - i would also love to get out on the streets and meet some of the players ... hmm...wishful thinking!

[Obligation]

Nice story

Shame you didn't get the autograph

[Sunflower]

Good morning, April and Ellena, would you take me with you? I was in Soho a couple of years ago. At that time, I didn't have any idea yet that there was a certain game which should become one of the rays of sun shine in my life, one day .

Hi, upton. This makes me a bit jealous. Having had a look at me, Jimmy would have said that I am too old for snooker. Life can be so unfair, sometimes.

Another one of my big favs was, like you, a student of arts in his early days: Freddie Mercury. History tells us what a career you can make for yourself .

[ronnieisthebest]

Upton that sounds amazing! I have met jimmy before and thought he was lovely - but I've never bumped into a snooker player in the street think it would be so cool!

[PaulTheSoave]

last May, I saw Thorne crossing the square into the crucible while i was sitting outside ruskins wine bar. I fled inside!

Would like to meet Jimmy though, I am jealous!

[ronnieisthebest]

Oh so thats why I saw him later that evening covered in bruises paul??

haha only joking!
