Imagine if snooker hadn't gone for casino style black tie and shushing, and was more like the darts instead all beery and rowdy

or if darts was all high tech, streamlined and sleek like cycling or athletics?

is there a land where snooker is unknown, and they have their own game of similarly obscure and elegant intricacy , where the players rise from teh street to attain samurai status, formalwear emblazoned with arcnae sigils etc

Has any snooker pro ever hit his rival with the cue? Seems the kind of thing that should have happened at least once.

I don’t know how the original wave of snooker greats got there, but the learning curve for snooker is brutal. Seems like you have to be obsessed just to get to the point of it even being playable. If snooker tables are less available than they used to be I can see that being the only discouragement needed to get the next generation to stop playing and producing greats

Week one is the best as it's more chaotic and the cliche waterboarding is still only building. I always watch as much as I can buy life gets in the way. Beeb V Eurosport for coverage is a key issue. I remain a Beeb viewer but only just. The interactions between Hazel and Steve/John/Ken are diabolical. Hazel's penchant to probe "just put into context for us how much this really means..." and she does that incessantly. it's the main reason I now watch - to see the agony on Steve/John/Ken's face as she tortures them. In hope that one of them will snap and assault her. Shawn Murphy though. There's only so much of him anyone can bear. A millisecond on a lifeboat and you'd be into the waves.

I've watched the WONNIE doc on Amazon about five times and i have several friends who are also obsessed with it

This prompted me to start watching snooker content on YouTube for a while and even watch some snooker on telly

Goes very well with a spliff

I won't have anything said against Hazel. She is an unflappable great who makes no mistakes ever. She also doesn't age.

I once had a mental calculation lesson from a maths genius who was about to go and spend a year at cue school in Sheffield in a bid to become a snooker pro. He then disappeared from view.

It's all about the angles innit?

Not picking your nose is a massive factor too - at the highest level that is. I'm convinced that the pros run straight to the loo between frames to do so and then obviously powder the inside of those nostrils.
