Thank you, bobmikeking! She's so cute, isn't she?

She surely is. I loved the way she couldn't help smiling all over the place when Dominic Dale was doing his jester things in his match against Higgins... women like funny men.

I still miss Michaela when it comes to cuteness. Or milfness, for that matter...

[neuronic]

Sure - like a dozen other players.

Yeah, this. It could be a really thrilling one this year... Judd and Ronnie being the obvious favourites right now, but with Neil in this kinda form, you never know.
The three Marks, the "runner-ups" Barry and Ali doin pretty good lately, Kyren will grind his way through, dark horse Luca... I'm looking forward to this.

[PatBlock]

Pretty sure that is Mark Davis in with Dave Hendon

Ah yes, I think you're right, thanks bob.

Luca? Really? Don't think he has a chance.

I'm, with you. Proletina seems really nice. Smiling so often.

Yes, me too - what happened to her? Did she stop refereeing altogether? I never really kept track ...

[crocodile]

Anybody else get a feeling that Neil Robertson has a good chance for a second World Championship title this year?

I'd like to think so, as he's always been one of my favourite players, but I'm still a bit sceptical .... There again, if pushed, I really don't know who I'd go for ....

She does a lot of pool stuff around the world, she did the legends tours as well.

[herbie]

I was really surprised when I saw her (Proletina Velichkova) the first time the day before yesterday. The way she looks I'd be less surprised if she was a successful ballet dancer. However she is definetely a smart women with great skills, very impressing.

How does Swansea Steve manage to sit in the audience at virtually every single snooker tournament I watch on TV?

Is he someone's manager or something?

Or does he just have a lot of spare time and money?

He certainly lives the good life, doesn't he?

Best of luck to him. He seems like a nice friendly guy.

Pronunciation complaint of the day:

Why do English-speaking people insist on putting the stress on the final syllable for every female name that ends with "ova"? You don't do this for male names that end with "ov", so what's the deal? Also, why do you go out of your way to say "ouva" instead of "ova"? :smile:

Nah, just commentators and you know how much they get wrong

Yeah, we've just had a studio segment with Goldstein, O'Sullivan and White, and they couldn't even coordinate about which mispronunciation of "Xintong" they were going to use. Goldstein and O'Sullivan went with "Zintong", whereas White preferred "Yintong". :wink:

In a country that can't even make up it's mind on the pronunciation of the letter 'H' what do you expect?

Some people say 'aitch' (they are right) and some say 'haitch' (They are wrong)

[neuronic]

Impressive break to win this. Well done, Joe... quite a scalp
