Has anyone mentioned John Parrott?

yay you. Cheers.

And it's JUST his commentating I'm refering to... there's not another like him. He's a legend in that box.

He used to go to the primary school I went to Parrott

I like him irrie! He was a good player and I liked his humour too.

He does horse racing commentary nowadays. I think he owns a few racehorses too.

Parrots still in the comment box too.

I heard that each player that gets knocked out will be taking a shot in the commentator box now... you know if that's true irre?

Be cool if it is.

You's like Parrott? 1503456
I don't hate him...his haircut annoys me

I don't know if that's true psketti.

Anyone just see that? Shocked

Can't believe Allen went out like that... he'll be absolutely gutted.

Yeah, I missed the end of it. Well played Cao.

Just watching the Murphy - Jones match. Loooong scrappy frame that Murphy clinched with a great long pot.

Love your avvy psketti! lmao

I can't stand Murphy. Mainly down to the fact that he's a pompous condescending bastard who's had FAR too much to say in regards to Ronnie's activities on and off the table! He's just a jealous fuck who knows he can NEVER walk in O'Sullivans shoes

He's also a child who apparently was bullied at school (for reasons that for me are clear to see why ) so his parents removed him at the age of 10, or thereabouts... after which he then spent ALL day EVERYDAY in snooker halls learning how to play. We'd ALL be fucking great snooker players if we'd had the chance to skip school altegether and play all day

... he can however play bloody well - annoys the shit out of me

I'm rooting for that other young lad even though I don't know who he is. GO Jonesy

lmao

You know a hell of a lot about these players psketti!

Never seen Jones before...strange haircut

Hendry's up next I think at 7 O'clock.

I wanted a snooker table when I was a kid but my tight assed parents wouldn't have it I would've been 9 times world champion by now sulk The greatest player of all time

Actually Hendry's on now...I'm confused by the scheduling nilly

I'd love to have a table too... one that was once used in a professional
championship that some great players ACTually played on, including
Ronnie

Oh wait a minute, I do... not 20 feet from my house... that I can't fucking play because I don't have access to it!



... its a long story

PS... its a rerun of Hendry pulling off his 147 from yesterday irre.

Oh right Hendry's 147 I keep having to turn over y'see. If I had a laptop I could watch the snooker at the same time as posting.

There's a table 20 feet from you house?! But you don't have access? I'm intrigued beyond compression popcorn What gives psketti? popcorn

Basically, we rent this house from people who run a bus & coach hire service. The son, who's house this was, is good friends with Steve Davis's brother who makes snooker tables for a living. When there are any professional matches in Aberdeenshire, my landlords are the company who couriers the players around.

A few years back, the World Open was held in Aberdeen and after the match my landlord made arrangemnts to purchase the table. Which he did. Then he had a special building built to house the table, with all the special little details such a room would have... it's so cool

Anyway... fast forward to a few years ago when we started renting the house.

When we came to view the place, they showed us the snooker room. Suffice to say I just about blew on the spot
They had no idea at that point what snooker does to me... so what ensued was one of the biggest 'die on the spot' moments my other half has ever had to endure

Soon as they said what it was and more to the point, that Ronnie had played on it, I lost the plot basically and totally forgot for a few minutes that I was trying to get a lease on the house.
I immediately began to stroke the table back and forth with long lingering movements as I briefly went off into my head picturing all sorts of nonsense... then I leaned down and inhaled the table fully expecting to get a whiff of Ronnie as I did so. When I came to my senses and looked at my other half and prospectus landlords, they where all just looking at me in total disbelief... with him 'indoors' as red as a beetroot. Thought I'd blown it to but thankfully I hadn't. After the initial shock on their faces, the landlords began to laugh. Thank fuck!

To this day I have no idea why I did that... it was a purely spontaneous reaction and one which I certainly didn't see coming

Turns out, part of the condition of lease, is that we keep the building heated to maintain the temperature for obvious reasons. I DID try and convince them to leave me the key but given that the tables worth probably more than everything I own, it's understanable the answer was no

It kills me that it's just there but I can't do anything about it

lmao @ your reaction to the table! I would've been excited, but not quite as excited as you were

What a shame you can't use it. I'd be in there for hours and hours and hours, just potting balls and learning how to play, cue ball control, all that.

I feel your pain psketti. I'm going to have to join a club or something, it's never too late

I wonder if I'd be decent at it, I'd probably have an orgasm if I made a 30 break or something I must find out (if I'm decent, not if a 30 break would give me an orgasm)

*saunters through psketti's thread looking for attention. Gets none. Leaves*
