snooker reminds me of 1997. my boyfriend wasnt feeling very at one with himself, and kept going to bed really early, like, at ten oclock, and quite obviously not wanting me to join him in case we got into the seventeeth 'i do still fancy you, im just really tired' arguments of the month. so i stayed up until 3 every morning watching the world snooker championships highlights and the OU, drinking cooking wine and smoking really skinny rollups, the butts of which all piled up into a horrible white- ish- yellow-ish- brown mountain in a really massive earthenware pub ashtray we had nicked in a fit of drunken cameraderie but a few months before. i developed a really huge crush on a very mediocre snooker player who, in retrospect, looked almost exactly like the boyfriend with whom i was not having any sex at the time. now whenever i see ronnie o'sullivan's face it makes me feel really angry and sexually frustrated.
eta: LOL, ronnie sullivans house? i am not sitting outside his house feeling angry and sexually frustrated. i promise im not.

There's just something about Tabb that I find utterly sexy. Those soft, silky white gloves stroking your cock as you lean over to pot the blue in the yellow pocket. Mmmmm... Imagine it. Sensational.

Michaela is filth though isn't she. Look at her. She has great chest bollocks too. If I was playing at the crucible and she was referreeing, I don't think I'd post a single ball. I wouldn't be able to concentrate at all.

Darts is excellent. It's another sport I can just watch endlessly. I find even motorsport has its lulls where your attention might wander, but darts keeps me riveted. There's something fascinating about it. The men who play it with their gold rings and tinted glasses, their boozey cheering wives with make up splattered on like plaster. The tournaments take place in what is essentially a giant pub. It's brilliant because it all seems so horrendously seedy and yet unapologetically self indulgent.

Lol. Andy Fordham's 'About Me' description from that Myspace page exudes class and sophistication:
I'm known as the viking and before a match i like to relax with 25 bottles of Holsten Pils & Six Steak n' Kidney pies although it's annoying when i get some down my shirt or a bit stuck in me beard and the cameras pick up on it. When I broke my wrist last year i thought it was the end but i came back strong with the help of my physiotherapist. He asked me to lift a beer bottle to my lips (the therapy worked beautifully).Posts: 1696

I think I've noticed a pattern in 'sports' that I detest. Stuff like cricket, golf, darts, snooker etc is so quiet. There's something not quite right about an activity that involves such long periods of silence, especially when televised. Surely sports should offer the opportunity for the spectators to scream abuse/encouragement, as in real sports such as football or racing. Staring intently for 10 minutes and then politely clapping- jesus.

VP has passion, I've noticed. Maybe that should be 'scathing' in fact. She doesn't just dislike stuff. i mean, I don't much like horse racing, so I just don't bother watching it or giving it much though, but she literally detests anything she doesn't find immediately engaging or amusing. Like its very existance is an insult to her, an affrnt to all she holds dear. A plague on society that should be discouraged at best, but never tolerated, and certainly the idea of anyone gaining any small amount of enjoyment from it is beyond comprehension.
Yes, with VP there's no sense of vanilla disinterest. I don't know if that's 'attractive' or 'sexy' though. Probably not.

This is a guess here, a wild stab in the dark, but I just get this impression. You can correct me if it's wrong. But I just get the idea that maybe, when you were in school and PE involved some kind of team sports, you probably weren't one of the first to be picked, were you?

I'm an extremely competitive person. I have to win at everything I do, be it playing squash with my brother, playing pool in the pub with friends, playing five-a-side football - whatever. I cannot stand losing. I cannot abide it.
I probably do this to make up for shortcomings in other aspects of my life, of which there are a fair few. In a nutshell: I am a dick.

Yeah I'm pretty much the same. Losing, for me, is just not an option. The problem is this means that I tend not to try new things because i know there has to be an interrim period before I get really good at it, during which I will suck and people will be better than me. This, really, is what has prevented me from ever going snowboarding, for instance. Or going to track days in my car. Or having sex.

I remember playing one of my exes at snooker once. She said to me explicitly before we started: "Now don't just let me win because I'm female. Just play your normal game, otherwise I'll go mad." So, she broke off and caught the blue full in the face, leaving three or four easy reds near the black. I potted these reds with blacks, then smashed into the pack developing several other reds. A nice 56 break. In the meantime, she simply sat there in her chair, nearly in tears. I was like, "What? Didn't you see that break?" We split up shortly after.

There’s something really satisfying about beating someone in massive style. Not just winning. Any fool can win, but to absolutely and completely thrash someone. Especially someone who thinks they’re quite good.
I get this a lot with computer games. Beating people at computer games is brilliantly satisfying. Isn’t it Benway. Oh, wait…

no... not me. Which is why I suck at everything, because there's no real incentive. I don't care if I come last, and I don't see the benefit of coming first. I know that you could potentially get money if you get really really good at something, but I've never really considered that to be in scope. Obviously though, being constantly last at something will eventually cause me to give up.
