The old thread (>>151764784) has gone at last, and I guess it falls to me to make a new one. Please be gentle. Neil Robertson has already beaten Tom Ford 4-1 in less than an hour, so the generous bucket table is continuing to give us hectically fast matches.The matches can be watched on proper TV, on ITV4, or on YouTube at the suspiciously inaccurately-named https://www.youtube.com/@MatchroomPool1.The arena still looks like a garden centre, and the players are still forced to dress in those awful, awful shirts. But it's been quite a good tournament otherwise.
>Robbo won
>>151937087>But it's been quite a good tournament otherwise.Agreed.

>>151937087>The arena still looks like a garden centreWatch your mouth pal, that's Mattioli Arena you're talking about (the more prestigious Crucible)
From a distance, Xiao Guodong looks like he supports Hull City.
>>151937429The grey carpet looks like a bare concrete floor, and the giant green signage around the edge of the table looks like the sort of signs you get pointing you to the lawnmowers. And they’re all dressed like they work in a garden centre. Don’t complain to me; if you disagree, take it up with Homebase or B&Q.

CLEAN IT UP MARCEL
>>151937429As if on cue, the venue immediately starts falling apart in the middle of play.
The Syndicate cut the wires so the shoddiness of the arena is highlighted, giving further credence to Higgins' council of players annoyed that they have to play in shit leisure centers and arenas.High IQ Riggi

How many of those flukes have happened so far this tournament? If I ever buy myself a snooker table, perhaps I should make a point to buy a Rasson one, as they are clearly very, very forgiving.

>>151941685The Pepto Bismol one as well. Whoever thought that up should be tried at the Hague.
>>151941685for me, it's the 'Arry Redknapp one, though really all betting adverts are sheer cancer.
>Poland probably banned againJanny mad?https://youtu.be/Us3_8FxoAls?si=O5pCXOtW5cJ1ZRPs
>>151941685>>151941901I don't even get the rules around betting adverts. Can't have Mr Vegas sponsoring ITV4 during the daytime but endless adverts for foxy bingo and postcode lottery are apparently fine. They should ban the lot, I genuinely can't think of anything more depressing than losing money playing a slots game on your phone, proper grim.
>>151942577I don't think there's room for any more rules for adverts. They're already the worst adverts in the world. Those pension/life assurance ones are all scams, and I think any advert for a charity gets a discount for being a charity, meaning ITV4 receives even less money. Every Christmas now, people talk about that year's John Lewis advert, and I haven't seen it on TV anywhere. I don't think even the most famous TV advert of the year actually pays for any TV presence any more.
>>151942879>Little Ted!I wonder what the 'actors' think of the lives they've carved out for themselves.>That's the SMART cashback!
>no daytime snooker
>>151937746
>>151942056Still, not again. I just occasionally phonepost.
>>151945991It's ridiculous, the international championship showed how it's done last week. Why the fuck isn't snooker on a Saturday afternoon?
>>151944699The woman who books holiday insurance with her insurance (All Clear, I think?) also goes on a cruise in a different advert for a different company. That's very weird.>>151945991If you're at home and you don't need to go out anywhere, this weather is exceptionally comfy. If you do need to go outside for any reason, I admit it's a lot less comfy, but hey, that's on you.
>>151950100>books holiday insurance with her insuranceThat should say "with her HUSBAND", by the way. Quite the spelling mistake.And this rain is based for another reason: the humidity in my house has gone down from the previous thread. 80% and still falling! Thank you, based Storm Claudia.

>>151950467There's another video on YouTube with a short interview with the actress, complete with comments that are split roughly 50/50 between simps and rude haters.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5r2DrObhIjsSomeone says she used to be in the pop group Tight Fit, so that's what I'll be looking up next. This is what no snooker does to a mf

GO ON THE BOY
>>151952815I bought that. They sent some 12" vinyls afterwards, as I remember.
GO ON THE BOYS>>151952815That’s the compilation with the Autechre remix of Skeng on it. Essential!
>jeb
>>151952947>>151952973nice guys, im fairly interested in getting a copy but i know itd be expensive as its rare and a lot of materialyeah, i heard it had a remix by autechre on it, not heard of skeng before though i dont thinki do have ninja tunes earlier compilation xen cuts which is just three discs but had lots of quality stuff on it
Zhao looking a little chubby, is he on the Luca diet?
>>151953016There are a few on here:https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/2455278There are also some excellent remixes on the vinyl version of DJ Food's Refried Food.Gwan Zhao!
>>151953098Both are on the Seefood diet
>>151953098I think it’s just the legendarily unflattering shirts again. Judd’s looking a touch pudgy too, and we’ve all seen those photos of him and Jack Lisowski with their six-packs on show.
for me, it's Tati's pullable
>>151953363Pullable what?
>>151953124thanks man, i was just checking discogs for it too hahai was reading about dj food today toothanks for the recommendation
some dire stuff from both players
>Zh-ow!
>>151953500In case you don't know, they had a long-running radio show called Solid Steel with various guests doing some superb mixes, some of which are available on soundcloud, mixcloud, and the internet archive. The website seems not to work any more.http://www.solidsteel.net/broadcasts

>>151953418you know :^)
It's not really a very fair event when you consider how much more CoC experience Jedd has compared to his rivals
>>151954172Judd’s going to really have to ride his luck, though, because the Champion of Champions is a hard tournament to win. But you’re right - it’s not the first hard one Trump has ridden.
I haven't heard many GWANners for a while, but Judd seems to be getting them now. I hope they don't yell out during the final as well.
>>151954465>I hope they don't yell out during the final as well.They will, even if the referee points out that they're putting off the very player they're gwanning for. They can't help themselves, it's their nature.
>>151954394Well of course he’ll need luck on his side. In a tournament like the CoC, all the players are right at the top of the game. But Judd is no doubt used to stiff competition by now.

We're all aware that Neil is guaranteed to win tonight correct? The Forbidden Fixture (long format version) will not be allowed to happen.
>>151963486Yes, Neyul will win. It's Big Bad Barry's will. Jester v Jodd in a Final on British soil is not allowed to happen for reasons beyond our comprehension.

I did, however, sing Birdhouse In Your Soul at karaoke, hopefully educating the zoomers who had no idea what I was singing.
>>151971644Must be the very first one on a non-uniform day too? It’s a shame Trump gets a buff from wearing a t-shirt.

And this.CD1 will be the original album, but it "has been newly remastered from the original master tapes for the first time". If it actually changes anything, it should be good, because the original, in all versions, has a lot of noise.
And this.CD2 features "8 previously unreleased live recordings from the Shinjuku Loft Opening Ceremony held on October 8, 1976" and 2 demo songs available on some other albums.>waiting for Hako

I went to the garden centre to buy some buckets. There was an employee there who said, "You've come to the wrong place. This is actually the Mattioli Arena, Leicester, and I am actually Judd Trump.
