@dennistaylor147 In assessing whether there is a free ball the cushions must be disregarded: only balls not on can create a snooker. Clive (part of the small team who re-wrote the rule book in 2019)

@brendanmoore147 @janverhaas I’m made up for you mate!

@janverhaas Thanks mate. Absolutely unbelievable. Couldn't write it. Another dream realised reffing a max in the Crucible.

WOWOWOW @brendanmoore147 You always wanted one in the Crucible! And this was your last chance!! Im so chuffed for you #max

@SnookerInfo147 But Boiko had already laid his cue on the table and offered his hand as an act of concession.

Here is the end of the match though where it appears Graham actually fouled by the white hitting the rest. Not spotted by the referee…

@Hey_Spin are an absolute joke. Nine days after making a withdrawal request for a not insubstantial sum and there’s still no indication as to when I might get my money. My advice is to stay clear of them #heyspin

@kendoherty1997 No foul. It would only be a foul if the nominated ball ends up being the effective snookering ball on *ALL* balls on (reds). In his case it doesn’t.

Foul

@TippingPointITV Great you referred to the cue ball and not the white. Shame about the three errors in the question - including the answer!

@HolidayInn Disgraceful. Bar closed by 22:40 on a Friday eve and refused service. Last night same. Won’t be staying at Leamington Spa/Warwick again. As a Spire Elite member I expect better from the HI brand.

@snookerbacker @paulrinaldi147 @ronnieo1954 @pdebdon Sending my very best wishes SB. Hoping for a very speedy recovery.

@jogbert I did, of course, mean an iPhone11!

Just how hard is it to spend big money? I need a new phone. First went to Apple and they had sold their quota of iPhone 13s. Next O2: they couldn’t sell me a phone for cash. John Lewis: couldn’t even get the attention of an assistant so I walked out. Came home spending nothing.

@jlandpcustserv Nice one JLP, you’ve just lost a £1400 sale. Not quite the customer service you’re supposed to be renowned for. In fact no customer service at all.

@cp_reading Initial thought: ‘another nice CP hotel’ but what a sad end to a pretty awful day. I wanted to relax with a nice glass of wine. Impossible with 100+ drunken wedding guests making so much noise it’s given me a headache. One nearly fell on me! Another nicked my chair.

@IHGService Used that number. Was told the hotel was full (which website showed me direct). So much for 'guaranteed room availability'. Re-checked using a 3-night stay: lo & behold rooms are available. Book that & edit the stay back to 2 nights. Sorted. I repeat: what is the benefit of GRA?

@clivebrown Hi, Clive. Please try 44 2033 499 033. I hope this helps. - Tracy

@ihgrewardsclub Prey tell me, what exactly is the point of 'guaranteed room availability' with Platinum Ambassador status? Just tried booking for mid-July only to be told "they're fully booked". So, in fact, there isn't GRA!

@IHGService Thanks. Is that a UK number? I dial it and it says it is incorrect. Strange that if I try to book a three night stay to include the two I really want *IS* showing as available!

@clivebrown Hello! Thank you for your tweet and I apologize for any inconvenience encountered while trying to make a reservation. The hotel might be fully booked for some reason such as an event For better assistance kindly contact Platinum Elite Hotline at 1-800-421-5162. Thanks - Orlando twitter.com/messages/compo…

@eorailway Not a happy bunny. Plans in tatters due to late running buses and connecting trains not being held. Waste of £16.

Disapppinted with @hinewport - it’s -1C outside and my radiator refuses to get warm :-(

@Morrisons Disaster at Yeovil today. Been sold out of date meal. screenwash which leaked everywhere and ruined bread, and a missing meal meaning no 3 for £6 discount. And they won't asnwer the phone! 15 miles is too far to return to complain.

@MartynDRoyce @EurosportUKTV Nice one! Well deserved.

@IHGService A week later and still nothing direct from the hotel!
