Explaining to [an acquaintance] why I like watching snooker on tv so much (she doesn't: it's slow and boring), I realised that snooker is rarely tense, and it's not enjoyable to watch at all: it's extremely satisfying, relaxing almost. Snooker is a game where you have to make a big mess at the beginning with the break, and then you're never going to get them all neat like that again, so it becomes a process of cleaning the balls away into the pockets very very carefully. First you put away the red, then the black, then the red, and, oh, I did that one wrong, so now I have to do the pink, and the red again...

Ronnie sollte sich entscheiden: Entweder will er Snooker spielen oder er soll sich in seinen Garten setzen, Büsche pflanzen und die Seele baumeln lassen. Oder er soll ein (wie ich vermute: mittelmäßiger) Poolspieler werden. So macht er uns Fans jedenfalls keinen Spaß.
