A brilliant cheer denied Ebdons frame, green held in jaws. Ken led motionless now, only peters questions rose. Still time under Virgos watch...xylophonists yawned zestfullyYou play a long slow deadweight red to a corner pocket. As it approaches the pocket, a kamikaze woodlouse crawls out from under the cushion and makes its way across the table, conflicting with the path of the red precisely at the point the red gets there. The red, needless to say, veers off course, and the future of the woodlouse is uncertain. - The Statman

"Absolutely brilliant!" Cried Drago. Ebdons foul gifted Higgins in, "just keep leading" mentioned Nigel. Occasionally Peter queried refs sight, though unjust.
Visiting Williams x-ray yelled Zak.

A brilliant crucible debut, exciting from Guernseys hero Ian Jarvis. Ken lost marginally, not oftenly proven quite ruthless. Still, underachiver Virgo was xcellent ().

(A quick entry. The first stanza should be read in the rhythm of a limerick. Any suggestions that I lost concentration for the second half, and that it is slightly less meaningful, are totally unfounded!)....
A brilliant cueman, Davis –
Extraordinarily famous –
Gallantly , Hilariously
In-vin-ci-bly
Just killed loser McManus!
(No offence)
Playing quite ridiculous shots

OK, here is a list that might be in the possession of Mic**** "The Hitman" H*** (name obscured for legal reasons) - or indeed any snooker hitman:
A bloody cue
Deadly extension
Fingerprintproof gloves
Halfbutt (indestructible – just!)
Kick!
Lethal marker – nice! (or poison quietly)
Radioactive spider
Triangle (uniformly varnished, waxed)
X-rest
Yellow
Zulu (apparently over 45% of former Crucible players have been zulus - ask The Statman)"If anybody can knock these three balls in, this man can."
