Or drunks that like singing and fighting ? ? Cheers.

Was it him that inspired the Proclaimers song; Cheers.

As a wise old sage once said to me; " One stroke doesn't paint the whole picture ".........?? But I do hope the lad goes on to more success. Cheers.
-
He seemed shell shocked in the interviews afterwards ! He sounded like a nice, easy going guy.......perhaps he needs to toughen up a bit if he's to make his move. Cheers.
-
He was number 81 in the world before this. I don't know what he is now, but it guarantees him entry into the invitationals, Starting with The Champion of Champions tomorrow, with a guaranteed £10,000 appearance money, win or lose. Good luck to him, he's been around a wile, let's hope this kick-starts his career. Cheers.

My family tartan and crest; Cheers.
-
Don't know, mate, could be, but it's manufactured in Scotland. Im not likely to commission a pair of trews, anyway ! Cheers.
-
Lord Panthera of Parkston has a nice ring to it ! LOL ! Cheers.

My line comes from Viking, through Norman to Ireland then England. No scots as far as I can find, yet we have an official tartan ! We also have a crest, which is quite nice, containing three owls. Nothing posh or fancy, most surnames can be traced way back. Tracing your actual family is a lot harder. Cheers.

Nice one mate ! Enjoyed the game, I thought once O'Sullivan got level, he would win, but Brown held his nerve even when he went behind. £70,000 in his pocket, but it also opens the door to the invitationals. Cheers.
-
Still a way to go, but this is why O'Sullivan is the best ever. 4-1 down, then he starts stroking the ball like only he can and suddenly it's 6-5 ! As I say, not over yet and Brown has played well, but his confidence must have taken a knock. Cheers.

From what I understand is Bigland Boy and Vixen were sired by Snow Fox. Then Bigland Vixen was mated, twice, to Blue Reflections, a grandson of Snow Fox. I don't know if the line is still going. Cheers.

I was told about It by friends of mine, and it races at Westerhope Whippets, just a mile or two from my house, so I had a walk up there and met the owner and the dog, I video'd it racing and beating ped whippets over twice its size. That was about a year ago. It was three then, so I guess it's still racing. I was impressed with the gutsy little thing ! Cheers.
-
This little non-ped races at 12 lb, yes, TWELVE POUND ! Others in his litter ran at 40 odd pound. There's a lot of greyhound in his line. Size is a bit of a lottery when breeding non-peds. Cheers.

The "Flood" is mentioned in most religions and myths. Its postulated that it may have been the breaching of the Pillars of Hercules, or the Bosporus land bridge, both of which would have had catastrophic results in the Mediterranean, and explain the myth in the Semitic religions. It doesn't, however explain how religions and myths as diverse as the Chinese, Australian aboriginals, North American natives and Norse all have Great Flood Myths. So, perhaps that's all it is, a myth ? Cheers.

Toyah Wilcox.... worth a look, honest!!

There's not a heterosexual male on here who wouldn't...........no matter what they say ! ? ! Cheers. -
Well, I didn't expect that in the first session ! Brown hasn't been overawed, and has punished O'Sullivans mistakes ! A long way to go, and Ronnie has to buck up his ideas ! Cheers.
-
Same here ! I'm not sure what to expect, except an O'Sullivan win. He may just cruise through it and do enough to win. He may try to motivate himself against a far inferior player, no offence meant to Brown, I know he would give me a hiding if I ever got to play him ! If O'Sullivan goes for it, who knows, maybe a 147 ? Anyhow, I'll enjoy it ! Cheers.
-
Yeah, Ronnie is different class and he's hitting form in the run up to the World Champs. I think he's set his mind on beating Hendry's records, and times running out. I'm nagging the missus to hurry up, she wants to go shopping, and I've told her, no matter what, I want to be sitting in my recliner, with a glass of wine in my hand, in front of the 65" telly by one o'clock, and not be disturbed, except when she brings me food, for the rest of the day ! ? ! Cheers.
-
Very easy for O'Sullivan, 6-1, easier than I expected. Cheers.
-
I'm not sure. There's , in my mind, definitely more very good players in the top 100, than before, but I don't think the gap has closed on the "elite" players. Kyren Wilson and Jack Lisowski seem to be the standouts amongst the "other" players, but aren't consistent enough to be classed as "elite" players. A few of the Chinese guys could make the step up, if they can get over their, to me, inferiority complex when playing the likes of O'Sullivan. The top players aren't getting any younger, so we could do with some youngsters coming through, hopefully with the flair and entertain

Last time I spoke to HBG was some years ago, and I'm sure he had problems with an old rugby injury and was scaling back with the dogs. Cheers.
-
I'm just guessing, mate, as I can't recall seeing him in any of the top 32 or top 64 invitationals, but then again I tend only to watch the games featuring the best players. Cheers.
-
I've heard of him, but never seen him play. I thinks he's probably at the lower end of the top 100. I missed today's game, I was making sure I had everything done before O'Sullivans game tonight. I think that this will be Browns first major final, and good luck to him. Theres some very good players in the top 100, but the top 3,4,5, are out on their own. Cheers.

That's a good question, Tomo. My daughter in law is scrupulously clean with our five year old grandson, washing his hands every five minutes. When he's here, I have him down to the allotments, eating tomatoes straight from the vine, eating blackberries, raspberries, etc. He climbs in the hen and duck houses to collect the eggs, digs in the soil, plays with the dogs I know she's not that pleased when I bring him home scruffy, he's straight in the shower and his clothes straight in the wash, but she accepts that he's getting an education he otherwise wouldn't. I think b
