Anyone following the snooker at the moment? If you’re in the UK you can hardly miss it, there’s approx 7 hours of snooker coverage on BBC2 per day! :confused: I love it, although I’m not a player myself. Its very absorbing, probably the most soothing TV out there.

I’d be amazed if Ronnie O’Sullivan has any fans whatsoever, a more graceless twat I have yet to see in UK sport. You have to say he does the buisness at the Crucible, although a meltdown is not out of the question. Stephen Hendry was in Zen-buddhist mode earlier this evening against Matthew Stephens, he didn’t miss a pot in three frames!!

It is absorbing. But for me not as absorbing as Cricket. I’ve been known to watch an entire day’s coverage of a test match.

It’s even better on a large stereo tv, because the crowd humm is particularly soothing.

Oh, and I like Ronnie O’Sullivan. I dislike Steve Hendry.
