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.

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.

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 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
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

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.

9-9 Higgins - O'Sullivan. This is great. Guess everyone is gonna watch Barca - Madrid

Expecting Judd Trump to falter at some point. Not happening so far.
7-4 ahead of Ding.
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 29 April 2011 10:07 (thirteen years ago) link
Only half watching - I keep seeing Ding in winning positions then go back to find he's lost another frame. Both players look to be struggling to find form
― every day I'm (onimo), Friday, 29 April 2011 12:20 (thirteen years ago) link
Both were not morning persons. The evening session was blow-for-blow high breaks.
Now Higgins - Williams is also a tad scrappy this morning, but they share the first four frames: 11-9 Williams

11-11. Incredible fight back by John - on yesterday's session Mark was so good but John is so resilient.
