@andyoxus 7 ай бұрын

Sorry for the insulting pool comment. Snooker really is a fascinating game, and somehow very watchable. I'm sure youtube is full of classic matches, but it pays to follow the ebb and flow of a whole competition. (Mitchell and Webb parody the 70s/80s phase of snooker fantastically, but it's not like that these days.)

The World Snooker Finals (I'm explaining for those unfamiliar) used to be sponsored by Embassy cigarettes. I'm old enough to remember Ray Reardon and his pink frilly shirts and fags and Alex Higgins with his pints (though they all drank). In fact I think they all smoked back then too. Same with darts. When Keith Deller came on the scene, his gimmick was that he drank milk and not lager. It was a sensation. I don't half miss those pink frilly shirts though.

Shakespeare's best play was TO PLAY SNOOKER OR NOT TO PLAY SNOOKER, THAT IS THE SNOOKER QUESTION! It starts off in an amphitheatre with lots of amps. Shakey comes on shaking his long thing and generally having a good time! Then the other guy comes on and plays with his balls! And it has a great climax too, everyone is left breathless by the standard of play! Great play too!
