Snooker's Biggest Quiz

[davis_greatest]

He needed to go to the loo very badly?

That sounds like the most plausible answer yet (together with changing trousers), as he probably had a good idea whom he would be facing in the Final after beating Stevens.

But I'll guess: went to watch a video of Stevens's 147 against him in the Masters, for inspiration?

[daveinaustria]

His wife was having a baby?

[Alex0paul]

His tip came off?

[PaulTheSoave]

He received a belated birthday present (2nd of may) and ran off to receive it.

[The Statman]

He received a belated birthday present (2nd of may) and ran off to receive it.

Ah, mention of his birthday.

That is relevant. As is something else that has been mentnioned already.

I feel we are on the way to solving this one!

[PaulTheSoave]

Maureen (jimmy's former wife) phoned him on his birthday and he was nowhere to be traced. harvey Lisberg who was his PR man at the time received the phone calls and finally convinced Jimmy to phone his wife which he did during that particular semi final!

it is known as: Just pick up the phone and call!

[chasmmi]

He had been drinking heavily for him birthday and was about to p*** and vomit so had to dash off and due the hangover things before returning.

[Alex0paul]

His tip came off so his wife bought him a new tip as a birthday present?

Sorry for the awful guess there

[April madness]

The Queen phoned him on his birthday to announce he's been awarded MBE? sorry, just a guess

[The Statman]

Congratulations chasmmi. He had celebrated his birthday rather too well and had been violently sick the previous evening, an occurrence which was repeated mid-break in the second frame of the second day.
