The Bear

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I genuinely thought your comment was a joke. And if you look at pool, then the white is smaller and lighter, not bigger. I genuinely don't see how having a bigger, heavier white would ever make it better. I've tried that with pool balls hitting the white, and it's just weird and unpredictable.

Trump makes his 1000th century against Mark Allen. Who also had John Higgins make his 1000th when playing him recently too. 1000 centurys is nuts. And that's just in tournaments never mind practice. I'm still stuck on 1....😂

Your first time watching snooker?

People who confuse and use the word addicting as an adjective instead of addictive. Its a verb not an adjective FFS.

Selby into another decider, this time against Gilbert. I hope he doesn't make it a grind of a frame.

It's bad when this thread needs the snooker ref to save it.

Absolute Zzzzs more like.

This time of year the wait for custom fit clubs will be less than two weeks. Possibly even a week turnaround. It's the spring and early summer when they'll be busiest after the new models come out. I ordered a single custom fit wedge recently and it came within a week of them getting the order through.

Or a "life hack". Usually followed by "I was this years old when...."

It's violent because he's DELIBERATELY hit a player in the head. If you raise your hands and slap someone in the head, no matter how hard, it's a red card. This is just an extension of that.

Meh I'm sure it wasn't that bad. He ought to try playing at some of the clubs I do. One place has a set of "match balls" that looks like they've been fished out of a bin.

I'm already sick of hearing about Rodri's injury. Why on Earth is it headline news on BBC every day? Who gives a shit.

I've got no problem with him sitting out if that's the way he wants to be. Who cares? Gives another lower ranked player a chance to play in the tournament and earn some money.

I've got no problem with the barge. He was in his way when he was running. Even if there was a bit of needle I doubt he tried to deliberately. However throwing the ball at a players head is out of order IMO. I don't see that as banter I see that as violent conduct. If a player were to kick the ball directly at another player on the ground he'd rightly get sanctioned. When you consider it's thrown at someones head, in this day and age of protecting players from head injuries, well I'm surprised they aren't making an example of him and handing him a 3 match ban for recklessly endangering an opponent.

Lol what a load of shite. Robbing bastards.

It's taking weeks and weeks for young drivers to get their tests, never mind a backlog of OAPs. And who's paying for them all?

What's the address for job applications?

Don't they ever punish players after the fact any more for dangerous challenges that get missed by the ref?

Best not to get ahead of things. I'm guessing it could be other stuff too. Hope things work out well.

I agree and disagree. My mum is now 70, and I was in the car with her as she drove me to and from the hospital the other day.. The amount of times she was hesitant and unobservant was far too much. Not enough to cause accidents or drive dangerously, but stuff like hitting obvious potholes, pressing the brake too hard when stopping so that you jerk to a stop, and taking too much time to react to things. The problem is, a lot of these elderly people rely on their car to get about and without it would be even more isolated. My mum goes shopping, sees family, and generally only goes out in the car as she can't walk very far. I doubt she could take the anxiety and stress of re-passing a test and it'd likely kill her to lose the car and her only ability to see other people.

Even more annoying than not using the indicator at all, is using it at the very last second, when you may as well not have bothered.

We absolutely played Villa off the park 1st half. We can't keep a clean sheet though so really needed to score again while we were on top. They're not gonna be as bad 2nd half.

Their new manager must be pretty decent as I remember them being abject and struggling all last season. Is that all they've changed?

I used to know one woman on social media who "loved everything millions xx"

Very sorry to hear about your mums Wrighty22 and Izzy. I know how it feels as I lost my dad to cancer 18 years ago. Absolute bastard of a disease.
