JP pointed out he should use some of it to reimburse his mum's airfare, in case he hadn't thought of it himself, and to make him sound like a right bastard if he didn't do it.

(some random wiki-ing later) - Alex Higgins isn't dead? Well blow me down.
― FC Tom Tomsk Club (Merdeyeux), Tuesday, 4 May 2010 22:38 (fifteen years ago)
He was in one of the papers the other week, in a sorry state. His teeth all fell out (as a result of his chemo or something iirc) and he can't eat properly and weighs something like 6st. He's living on benefits and is trying to somehow raise £20k to get his mouth fixed.
― mierda defensa ... no impedir ... espectador (onimo), Tuesday, 4 May 2010 23:20 (fifteen years ago)
I have him in my dead pool, which tends to bestow immortality on folk (except last year's lot)

Wasn't this big investigation into John Higgins and co supposed to be over in "weeks not months" about 3 weeks ago so the whole of Snooker's name could be cleared once and for all? What's the latest news re: that?
― StanM, Thursday, 20 May 2010 16:09 (fifteen years ago)
3 weeks = weeks, not months

Luca Brecel, 15, is the youngest Belgian national champion ever (not the under-16 championship, the adult thing)

Always more talent if John Higgins is banned.

that Brecel guy thrills and scares me. Check out his Youtube videos; dude's legit poised to take the fuck over
― acoleuthic, Monday, 24 May 2010 18:02 (fifteen years ago)
Your chance to get in on the ground floor by updating his wikipedia entry. Typically, the one defeat mentioned is to Graeme Dott. Peter Ebdon's probably limbering up to piss on his world championship dreams.

15 year old Brecel just won the final of the european championship (the adult competition, he won the -19 championship last year). I don't think any British players competed (no prize money and rivalling organisations like in boxing, I guess).
Another Belgian, Wendy Jans, is the european women's champion again (I believe it's her fifth title) as well.
― StanM, Saturday, 5 June 2010 12:43 (fifteen years ago)
How DOES this whole snooker world work re: rivalling organisations, btw? Nothing about this on the BBC's news-sport-snooker site.

Ronnie not doing too badly against Tommy Cooper there
― StanM, Monday, 18 April 2011 15:58 (fourteen years ago)
He looked good in the three frames I saw, though it looked as if his opponent was doing his best to set him up for a maxi at the start of every frame.
Maguire having a 'mare. Proper wasted talent that guy.
