Not a banner second round to be honest. Pockets are wild this year too, could drop a beachball in the corners.

A month into the season and I would happily murder every person involved with Hall of Fame Connections.

As Keith said, testament to his brilliance that loads of outstanding things I'd never even heard of keep cropping up. One of the funniest people ever.

I am so, so sorry everybody.

As I have done every year for the past 5 without the slightest hint of success, I'm backing Robotson to win.

Another blinding prediction. See you all in 12 months to get it wrong again 

Hoss missed the chance to go full heel after that drubbing. Should have hit Ronnie in the back with his cue after the embrace.

Horrible flashbacks of the family next door playing polka music at all hours. No one deserves to be woken up at 3AM by an accordion.

Cool For Cats

Nothing gets the neighbourhood rocking like Jools Holland on keys.

Mick Jagger, a poor man's Shakin' Stevens.

Went across town to this one hidden in an estate on recommendation. Very tasty, best fish I've had in a long time. Good chippy tea experience in general, had a chat with the owner who explained in avid detail why he doesn't use palm oil and the trials and tribulations of running the joint for 30 years. Mushy peas (don't tell @SuperBacon will blow his mind I got them in the South West).

Wizzard. The band Slade could've been.

To be fair, 'How Does It Feel' is one of the all-time best rock songs.

Roy Wood is one of the best this country has produced. Breadth of his work is incredible, involved in all sorts you forget he had a part in.

Saw Slade about five years ago (without Noddy, obviously). They all looked knackered. Dave Hill had one move - he'd put one foot a stool and sort of wiggle his arse round and then put his foot back down again. He did this at least 30 times during the show to no reaction. It was seated, which seems wrong for a band like Slade, but the average age of the crowd was about 90. Some people did manage to stand up for Cum on Feel the Noize.

I think Jazzy is on to something. Mark E Smith reading the classified results could be considered the greatest song ever to come out of this barren land.

Hope he enjoys poncing around the commentary box in his daft trousers.

MadBum designated for assignment.

He's only 33 and has been cooked since 29. Not sure I can think of a pitcher so good in the modern era for multiple years who imploded so young. Just sad watching him throw 88mph shitballs outside the zone yesterday when I stuck Arizona on.

@Keith Houchen was watching last night. A complete piss take. Noted woman beater Domingo German can stay in the game walking around like he's just taken a dip in Vaseline and Mad Max gets ejected 'because his hand was too sticky'. It's the total lack of consistency which is worse of all.

Perry vs Milkins for my sleeper hit of the round and delivered. It's been a banner few days for me; Handsome Hoss, Family Man Wilson and the Milkman all getting through.

So pleased for Milkins generally. One of the few 'everyman' where the label fits. Wallowing in debt and on the piss half the time to a pair of titles titles, a run at the Crucible and that players series bonus in his late 40's. Made up that he isn't having to worry about putting food on the table for his kids any more.

"What is the charge? Selling a meal? A succulent Japanese meal?"

They've made no effort whatsoever to stay in Oakland. The stadium has been run down to the extent it has sewage going through the dugouts and the Mets broadcasters had to be put in some side cupboard during a recent road trip because a possum had taken up residence in the booth and started shitting everywhere.

'Focused on securing a new home to the club' I.e demanding local authorities pay for an entire new stadium while spending the least money on payroll in baseball and pocketing every spare cent.

McSkill bores the shit out of me but will never tire of Trump looking desolate. Plus, he would have demolished Lizowski in the next round as ever had he got through.

THE THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN ON A SNOOKER TABLE.

Edit - they've got one poor fucker out there with a Henry Hoover trying to sort this out. No way play is resuming tonight.

Pots balls and must love noodles because he's Chinese.

Also The Gardener, for once, is a phenomenal snooker nick name.

I like that it treats him as a real person, with real playing and personality traits. 'Prince of Persia cos he's from Iran' is so lazy. Then again, we're about ten years removed from Ding being billed as 'Pot Noodle'.

Team Handsome Hossein. Love Ronnie but always good to see another pro call him out on his bullshit. 

Cardi Beef.
