Nice one Dave, another ton, naturally.

Just thinking now..

So, 'a Chinese snooker' must be an unacceptable term to use these days, eh!

Why? It's not insulting is it?

Are extensions supplied in all pro matches ? How come Ronnie doesn't bring one when other players bring their own ?

I asked because when Gilbert was 'chinese' snookered Dennis didn't say it. He just said 'this is an awkward shot, even more awkward than a snooker sometimes' And it got me thinking if they don't say it anymore..

Two are supplied at the table. O'Sullivan is happy to use them rather than bring his own, one of few players in this respect. He also very rarely has the cue-ball cleaned, even when he's clearly just had a kick.

Mags yet again.

Are they the same tables as last year? 86 centuries last year so I'm wondering if there has been a change.

In that case I think I'd be more inclined to go without one as well, less gear weighing me down, cheers.

Well done McManus.

I accidentally walked into an area I wasn't supposed to be at an event a few years back. As I was walking down the corridor there was Graeme dott walking towards me... Looking as I get closer and closer until we get face to face and I say errr i dont think Im supposed to be here, exchanged a few words, shook his hand and I toddled off...

I'll never forget the wtf worried look on his face Lol

[The Statman]

I must say I'm quite enjoying Peter Ebdon's commentary.

[DeanH]

yes same here
but earlier (was it Thorne?) got him onto the vegan diet was a bit awkward :wink:

[streamer45]

good start for Sam Baird, such a good player to watch

[Le Ball Sack]

I think if Williams hairline recedes any further he is going to have a mohawk.
