Stephen Fry on Twitter:

Shaun Murphy has a long playing career ahead of him, but when he retires he'll be a shoe-in for a commentary job. Snooker's Mr Articulate.

Oh god oh god oh god. Please be wrong. Please prove that even Stephen Fry can be wrong about things, because I can't bear the thought of being stuck with 'Mr Articulate' (as fucking if ( Read more... )

A few days into the World Championship and you realise that it DOES things to you. The sheer amount of snooker watched, the long matches, the inevietable brain-draining that results from the mandatory missfests and snoozingly bad safety bouts - it all gets to you. Not to mention that I'm still waiting for 'my boys' to cue up ( Read more... )

Woah, what a final in the EDF Cup. Great win by the Blues, great to watch! :D Final score could so easily have had a couple of more tries in it. Seems like they've got what the Ospreys are lacking - a team. Perhaps one should have been more careful on choosing a side, but hey, at least the Ospreys are getting a proper head coach now and can ( Read more... )

It IS that time of the year again. The snow has nearly vanished, the trees are gradually going from grey to less grey to looking alive, and finally to green.

And even one that might possibly have an interest in creating something more around it (not in the physical form of ribbons on the trophy, I think), bit of a buzz and all of that, what with them being involved in the Prem League too, which is a heck of a lot more audience-friendly than ( Read more... )

I absolutely love, adore and (embarrassingly enough) nearly worship Stephen Fry. If I can't marry him, I shan't marry at all! Of course, with him being of a slightly different disposition, I can now plan the rest of my life as unwed ( Read more... )

I know which new sponsor World Snooker needs to get on board: Powerade.

Right, I'm not likely to ever buy a bottle of the damned thing, but ruddy hell, the Six Nations campaign of Powerade will possibly make sure that if I ever buy a bottle of that-kind-of-thing, it will be that particular brand.

Why?
