2020 World Grand Prix - B

[vmax]

This is the most intelligent and profound post ever posted on this forum , Man was a NOMAD and ran to kill his dinner or to evade being killed. Its in our DNA to MOVE FFS ! the developed world is being engulfed by a Tsunami of junk and processed food. I see Shaun Murphy from time to time as I live nearish to him and play my little bit of snooker in the club where he has a table . Somebody mentioned his 2005 stance and what he weighed then and now. All athletes must remain fit but covid is being used as an excuse " sure I might be dead next year, eat and enjoy now ". Rant Over. Come on Jack !! 3-1 up . at interval

Thanks for that but it's not really, it's just basic observation of social change over a lifetime. I must add that the lowering of education standards has pushed families apart in the UK as many more kids now go to university all over the country. Once in the big city they don't wish to leave so now not only are the very young palmed off to strangers in pre school but the elderly are now palmed off to strangers in care homes as their children are no longer around to pop in do a bit of caring themselves.
People now demand free child care and free care for the elderly, just where do their responsibilities lie ? it's your children and your parents that you're neglecting for the sake of a mortgage, the banks are generating money to buy the same houses over and over again so are laughing all the way to................the bank, more irony And where are the worlds governments getting their money to pay for this pandemic, that's right, the banks.

I read that Lisowski has beaten Selby, yippee! I can watch the final tomorow now

Finally someone "else" in a finale. Personally I prefer a good rivalry over a friendship in sport but this hopefully will be nice to watch anyway.

Lisoswkis main weakness though is and will always be his situational focus. I'm pretty sure that in his case it's not "lust a jack of centration" but some sort of deficient disorder.
Let's see how many reds in a row he will be able to pot this time...

Interesting to see Jack on the practice table with what appear to be a box of 3g balls? I think they are 3gs because they are in the same box as mine, would have thought it would be 1g's all the way for these guys even/especially in practice to replicate the conditions etc....?

[...] it's your children and your parents that you're neglecting for the sake of a mortgage [...]

I'll give you the whole responsibility for your own child argument, but if you look at it the other way, none of us here asked for our parents, did we? We had no say in the matter.

the balls supplied to WST are in the usual cardboard box, with only a sticker saying 1g
they save the ali cases for paying-customers
here is my box

I really hope I misunderstand you Billy, because that doesn't sound very nice at all.
Without your parents, you wouldn't exist. Does this count for nothing then?

Thanks Dean - all makes sense now!

It was said partly as a joke, but only partly. I wasn't attaching any moral meaning. Just stating facts.

Also, if I'd never existed in the first place, how could I possibly feel aggrieved or robbed of my existence?

Oh, OK. I lost both my parents fairly recently so am probably a bit sensitive on this one.

My point was more practical than philosophical.

I'm sorry to hear that. I often forget to engage brain before I post, even if my meaning wasn't meant to be taken literally. I lost my own mother back in May so I know that pain.

Glad I'm not watching this precession of a snooker match.
At least Selby would of given Trump a game.

OK mate, thanks. Also sorry for your loss.

Yeah, bit disappointing, not too surprising though. Hopefully a bit of a fightback from Jack tonight.

Well done ITV, a great bit of snooker promotion at the end of the talk there on set, with the team. More of the same please!!

Is that Selby who got thumped 6-2 in their last meeting?
