Random Musings - Day #347

It's been emotional. Joe McElderry won X-Factor. Cheryl Cole was always in tears.
Ryan Giggs caused a bit of a surprise by winning the Sports personalty of the year. But that might well have been eclipsed by Seve Ballestros who picked up the Lifetime achievement award despite being back in Spain. Remember he's come back from brain tumour. Also don't forget Major Phil Packer's run in the marathon for charity.
Ding Junhui captured the UK championship. Maybe this is the start of getting the sport of snooker all over the world, especially the far east!

Random Musings - Day #341

Looks like Barry Hearn is the new man in charge of World Snooker. This should in theory breathe new life into the game of snooker. Currently, there are only 6 ranking tournament and little to no coverage. The game can be variated along the same lines as cricket. Have a short game. Frames with 6 red balls. Best of 3 frame matches. A one-day knockout tournament with draw after every round. Bring back doubles tournament. Have a turbo/shot-clock tournament or even time limit match. Don't forget that Snooker is quite popular in the far east and I am sure there is still interest in Canada and perhaps USA.

I really enjoyed Ronnie O'Sullivan's remark about Barry Hearn's appointment.

He is the Ronaldinho of promoting

Interestingly enough, Steve Davis has a twitter.
Just got over the flu after a day. I am just run down with work atm but I think my RQ might be decent.

Oh yes, boobs are the way forward. Typically efficent, only the Germans would come up with a study that proves that staring at boobs is good for you.
Why are psychologists so pretty? I was watching the BBC the other day, their resident psychologist was pretty cute. But the best known psychologist is Dr Linda Papadopoulos.

Random Musings - Day #136

Eurovision Song Contest
Norway with the singer/fiddler Alexander Rybah won it with Fairytale. Not a total surprise as the video had been viewed by 650,000 people compared to other countries who had 40,000 to 50,000 hits. Norway have won 3 times in all.

Snooker Comeback?
Well flicking through the tv and I saw Jimmy White win a snooker match. He's now through the semi-final of the World Serijavascript:void(0)
Publish Postes of Snooker but now face another player looking to make a comeback, Ken Doherty.

New Song
I heard a song on radio which seem to sample Eiffel 65's Blue. It's Sugar Candy by Flo-rida. I would fancy that going close to reaching #1 whenever it is released.
