1. Make sure your Broadband internet conection bill is payed & accessible.

2. Stock up on your electricity meter funds to cover the expenses of watching the tournament.

3. For UK residents make sure your up to date with the TV License money sharks.

4. Make sure the fridge is stocked up with munchies but if that fails there might be something in the freezer , if you have one.

5. Finally , don't forget the lagers , beers , wines & spirits ! :wink::):D:thumbup:

Mordicai Richler - On Snooker
One hundred hours of white-knuckle afternoon and evening TV, spread over seventeen days. I settled into my sofa to watch, lining up my traditional pacifiers on the glass-topped coffee table: a ten-pack of Davidoff's Demi-Tasse cigarillos, a plentiful supply of cashews, a bowl of cherry tomatoes, a bottle of the Macallan and another of Highland Spring mineral water - the latter a gesture of loyalty for Hendry who sports the Highland Spring logo over the breast pocket of his waistcoat.
 
You'll starve to death!! ;)

The Devil mounted Barry's shoulders in the 4th frame and never got off.
 
Hearn to meet BBC over Crucible coverage

http://www.inside-snooker.com/snooker/2014/5/1/hearn-to-meet-bbc-over-crucible-coverage

Yeah.

So there I was sitting at the TV when Hazel Irvine interupts with the apology that the TV coverage was ending in the Barry Hawkins V Dominic Dale deciding frame & you gotta press the red button to continue viewing.

Well , heck , I'm thinking what did I do with the dang remote controller , where did it go ?

By the time I rummaged around & found the remote control , the moment was gone so to speak & Barry was clearing up for the win ! :confused::wink:
 
Barry Hawkins & The Kicks !

Sitting back watching Ronnie O'Sullivan V Barry Hawkins & Barry's doing the hard graft & creating frame winning chances but then.....

The cue ball's kicking like a mule on the heat & all the bad luck is going against Barry.

How much did the battle against Dominic take out of Barry asked John Virgo & well , it looks like quite a lot & there's not a lot of fuel left in the tank.
 
Chris Hammer @ The Sporting Life

Chris Hammer's selections:

http://www.sportinglife.com/snooker...rld-championship-snooker-semi-final-best-bets

So that was Chris Hammers selections.

Call Of Duty:

I caught son Johnny on the hop as he played the computer game & I read out the players names & odds & asked him for the correct frame scores.

Johnny said 17-5 O'Sullivan & I said WTF it was a 6 frame swing in the Final last year , it's O'Sullivan said Johnny.

Selby V Robertson & I said the odds & son Johnny said 17-15 Selby.

Well , soon find out if Chris Hammer @ The Sporting Life called it correct or if son Johnny's selections were better than his.;):rolleyes::smile::D:thumbup:

Well naturally you had trouble finding the control, Church....
....that's why they call it remote.

Haven't got to watch as much this year, pretty busy...
...and then my Avast had an argument with an invader when I tried to
watch the snooker from a different site....good thing I know several geeks.
Gonna stick with Scaramouche's links like I usually do.
 
It's interesting to me the commentators keep saying something to the efffect of "Barry was unlucky there." And they are right. Barry has suffered terrible luck during this match.

O'Sullivan's pact is intact. :)
 
Close call but no cigars !

Son Johnny called it Ronnie O'Sullivan 17 V 5 & he was close with the correct frame scoreline but it finished Ronnie O'Sullivan 17 V 7 Barry Hawkins so close but no cigars.

Sporting Life's Chris Hammer called a 6-2 1st session lead to Ronnie @ 6/1 so he did well.:wink:

The amount of bad luck Barry Hawkins had in the match was unbelievable & the kicks were outrageous but what can you do when your up against a devil of a player called Ronnie O'Sullivan ?

Yet another game over with a session to spare for a Ronnie O'Sullivan win but I aint complaining as I'm watching on TV & hopefully the spectators got a refund.

Ronnie O'Sullivan is into his 6th final & he aint lost a final so far & he's got the choice of watching the other Semi Final or doing something else instead.

It's just dawned on me that The Thaiger's 2 favourite players not to watch , Mark Selby V Neil Robertson are up against each other but The Thaiger hasn't commented so far.

I'm not only concerned about The Thaiger's wellbeing but I'm trying to figure out how The Thaiger will manage to get by on this match that could be a potential marathon so I'm away to have thought on The Thaiger's top 5 survival tips to watch the match ! :rolleyes::thumbup:
 
Dear The Thaiger , heres 5 tips to survive Mark Selby V Neil Robertson

1. Make sure the medicine cabinet is stocked up on anti-depressants especially as it's Bank Holiday Monday next Monday & various organizations will be closed.

2. Have the remote controls at the ready especially the TV one to turn down the commentary & the other remote control to turn up the music volume.

3. Get things cooking in the kitchen as you await the start of Sunday's Final . What about an Italian menu theme this year ?

4. Stock up on the lager , beer , wines & spirits as they could be vital ingredients for whatever menu you choose to cook , yum ! :wink:

5. Failing all the above , just telephone the girlfriend & tell her to do it all as you sit back with your feet up watching the action ! :wink::cool::):grin-square:

Take care dude ! :cool:
