Snooker loopy nuts are we
Me and him and them and me
We'll show you what we can do
With a load of balls and a snooker cue

Pot the reds then, skrew back
For the yellow green brown blue pink and black
Snooker loopy nuts are we
We're all snooker loopy

Well after my previous blog, and after enjoying the snooker on TV- them making it look so easy- I decided to dig out my old PS2 game World championship snooker 2002 (Four years old!) and give it a quick play- and that was when I realised why I hadnt played it for four years. I really am NOT good at it. It's the kind of game where I (player 1) miss a good shot, then I lean back and let the computer operated player carry on his miraculous potting for the next half hour. If I am lucky the other player may give me a chance but only by snookering me first so that it is impossible for me to hit anything! I ams SURE that the computer knows exactly what to do to play the perfect game and does it on purpose to wind me up!
Still I did get to pot the black once:D, followed directly by the White

Anyway, do you remember the Snooker Loopy song? I have re-written it to describe my game playing

Snooker loopy nuts are we
CPU and them and me
He'll show you how he can play
While we sit back for the rest of the day

miss the red then, sit back
While the computer pots the reds and black
Computer loopy nuts are we
I'll switch it off, that'll do for me!

I am watching the snooker at the moment. I actually quite enjoy it. I am not saying that I follow it religiously; I couldnt name the top ten Snooker teams in the Snooker premier division.
Do you not think its amazing that in the world natural disasters are named after people and in snooker people are nicknamed after natural disasters (Hurricane Whirlwind) "And here he is, Gary 'Global Warming' Higgins"
I wish I could play it well. I remember when My OH and I had a crack at it at butlins in Minehead, we were at it for hours beause we were so bad! as the Cat would say "he's a diva man. He could play for hours and not lose any one of those balls down one of the little holes" (?quote?)
I often think that when it comes to sport, Polo was for posh people who wanted to be seena s posh; Darts were for working class people who wanted to appear working class and snooker was for working class people who wanted to thought of as posh! And rugby is played by men with funny shaped balls!
Classic Quote "Steve is going for the pink ball - and for those of you who are watching in black and white, the pink is next to the green.".

Nurses have put posters of BRAD PITT and GEORGE CLOONEY on a hospital ceiling - to help women relax during gynaecological check-ups. Staff at Leigh Infirmary, Greater Manchester, hope they will help "minds wander". Patients can also daydream about DAVID BECKHAM and JESSE METCALFE, the gardener in Desperate Housewives.

I CANNOT believe they haven't asked me for my photograph. If anything is likely to make a woman start contractions is a picture of my ugly mug!

Plus Can you believe they missed me off the rich list... again!
