I love the outdoors and so lucky to live beside the sea, close to the marsh and not far from the Lake District

Ordered a double big mac from @McDonaldsUK, and the fuckers sent me a cheeseburger. Absolute piss take. Raging is an understatement. That was me tea. Paid loads. Got fuck all. And im still starving. Rang the store. Complaint incoming. I hate you for ruining my evening

@SnookerLoopy_ WST discussion behind closed doors
"This is a great idea, but if we leave it till nearer next year's event, we can pretend we thought of it ourselves." 😅

Why the bloody hell is the World Championship trophy not called the Joe Davis trophy, by the way?
Is it purely a politics thing from the past? It would make so much sense to name it after him and would only add to the prestige of the tournament

Who is everyone backing to lift the silver lady then? Boring answer but it’s difficult to see Zhao having many problems until the semis. 2nd answer is Selby
English
@InTheBalls147 I agree. But market forces will drive it. WST are very bad at promoting snooker so it seems inevitable that it will change.
The increases in audience figures won’t help snooker develop.
English
@mickwaring The obsession with trying to hook the younger generation with infulencers and rule changes etc, will eventually turn off the casuals and the hard-core audience imo.
English
Tik Tok
Influencers
Two words you don't want associated with snooker, to be honest.
The 900 is an interesting format that growing and gaining traction. Influencers ruin everything. Don't do it.

@Bobbone37019105 @RealTimVine @NASA If another life form got there before us, surely they must be intelligent enough NOT to have McDonalds? 😅
English
@RealTimVine @NASA What if when they get round the far side of the moon there’s already shops and a McDonald’s type place there from another life form 🤔
English
Dear Nasa , please can you draw me a diagram to explain this: If we never see the far side of the moon from Earth and the current astronauts haven’t got there yet, how come they got their first glimpse of the far side of it today? Are they going the long way round? @NASA

@JDNalton @Snooker147Lover Did your study look at how he was allowed to compete on the Q Tour despite not meeting the WPBSA criteria?
English
@Snooker147Lover He didn't get off lightly and didn't actually fix any matches. The ones behind it, taking advantage of younger players like Zhao Xintong, got lifetime bans. I did a quick summary of it in this article after studying the case morningstaronline.co.uk/article/crucib…
English
Xintong’s obviously a very good player... probably too good – but I just can’t forget his match-fixing offence and how lightly he got off.
That’ll hang over him for the rest of his career, no matter what he does. Sorry.

ZHAO XINTONG COMPLETES THE SWEEP! 🤯 The Cyclone overcomes Judd Trump with a crushing 10-3 victory in Manchester.

@InTheBalls147 I bet all that didn’t realise it was an April Fool really do feel like fools!
WST shouldn’t have done it though and they ARE the fools.
English
Must be really annoying going to all the effort of setting this up across multiple platforms and accounts, not to mention getting a top player involved to play along, just for one account to post it 2 days ahead of April Fools 😅

@EndofFrame @cruciblecrush @philhaigh_ Any contract negotiations would have made contingency plans.
BBC would show World Cup football if it were in China.
English
@cruciblecrush @philhaigh_ It is really when they’ve paid so much money to be the principal broadcaster.
They’re hardly gonna allow it shown at 4 in the morning.
English
'We haven’t ruled that out yet. We are looking at venues.'
A stay in the UK looks very likely for the year/years away from the Crucible while it is being redeveloped.
But Barry Hearn says a temporary move to China is still possible.

@SnookerInfo147 It's often said that WST check the tables to make sure they all conform to spec.
@nr147 will be able to confirm that the Players Board has taken this matter up with WST/WPBSA.
English
On a slightly sour note though I really wish they would sort out the size of the pockets in the Chinese events. It’s the same for all players of course but so many shots are being missed but still drop.
It’s been mentioned many times even by players but nothing is being done.
English
@philhaigh_ Headline sounds a bit misleading tbh.
His doubts are less after the defeat than they were before.
Before the event he was thinking he wouldn’t play in Sheffield. Now saying he probably will play.
Your headline suggests he’s having doubts because he lost in the World Open.

@WeAreWST So you did eventually notice that there was an opponent in this match?

HE'S DONE IT!!!
Thepchaiya Un-Nooh beats Ronnie O'Sullivan 10-7 in Yushan, getting over the line with three centuries in a row (132, 147 & 131)
MIND-BLOWING performance 🤯 #WorldOpen

I don't want to make any rash predictions (unlike some 😜) but I can see Ronnie figuring it out in the interval and come back really strong!

@DrMarianaClaire @BenGrahamUK The page says Easter Egg but it doesn't look like the actually print Easter on the package anymore.cadburygiftsdirect.co.uk/our-product-ra…!
English
Britain has been a Christian nation for over 1,400 years.
Through wars, plagues, and countless kings, Easter has always been celebrated.
Yet now, Cadbury won’t even use the word ‘Easter’ on their eggs.
When did celebrating British traditions become controversial?
English
@TSnooker102 It's more to do with the punters backing him that makes him the favourite. The bookies respond to the markets rather than just set the odds according to their own thoughts.
English
In the Golden Ball event, if a free ball is taken for the first pot, does the golden ball get removed?
If not, does it have to then be a 175 break to claim the bonus?
(Don't tell Ronnie or he might just do it for the fun of it!)

@TSnooker102 @fanboxing42 Being the master of predictions - how long before the 153 gets beaten?
Bear in mind that up to 1954, the 4 minute mile was thought to be impossible!
English
@fanboxing42 Number of 147 breaks made in professional competitions: 239
Number of 150+ breaks: 1
English
@InTheBalls147 "Standing on the Shoulders of Giants" is a phrase that comes to mind when the GOAT debate comes up.
A 147 was incredible feat at one time.
How long before (providing the game isn't changed) 147+ breaks become less of a rarity?
English
There'll never be another Ronnie O'Sullivan. The guy is just pure magic. The fucking Guinness World Records are tweeting about the 153. Incredible. We're all still on a high from watching, can't imagine how Ron feels.
Guinness World Records@GWR
An incredible 153 break from @ronnieo147 means he claims another GWR title for the highest break in snooker 👏 Other records held by Ronnie: - Most century breaks - Most competitive 147s - Most Triple Crown wins - Youngest AND oldest winner of the UK Championship
