Well done Ali Carter for winning and Jackson Page on reaching his first ranking final. First ranking event of 2024/25 season done, bit of time at home now with the family. Manic Street Preachers concert on Saturday and Rick Astley next week 👍

Election will soon be decided, then the same crap will resume with the same, or different, liars calling the shots. I voted, out of respect for the people who fought for our right to vote. What will change? I thought in my 53 years I’d understand it all a little better. No. 😢

When my dragon and I were in Spain during the last Rugby World Cup, we encountered 3 separate sets of England fans aggressively cheering for Argentina against Wales? I sincerely hope England win today and win the Euros. I don’t follow football, but I’m watching and supporting.

I’m afraid to post now coz if I mention my day, I get abuse and called a liar. 36 of the most recent 40 posts on my timeline are to do with conspiracies on the US election and the yacht. I’ve read in silence for ages. No more, I’ll be on FB from now on if you need me. #LuvsYoux

🇳🇿 𝗗𝗛𝗥𝗨𝗩 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗟𝗘𝗧𝗘𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗗𝗢𝗨𝗕𝗟𝗘 Congratulations to Dhruv Sitwala who has defeated Peter Gilchrist to lift the Barton McGill New Zealand Open. This completes a double for Sitwala, who won the Auckland Open a few days ago. Results 👉 wbeventsonline.com/?page_id=57&TI…

We are saddened to learn that Clive Everton has passed away. Everton was especially passionate about billiards and made a significant contribution to the sport over several decades. As a player, he reached the World Billiards Championship quarter-finals three times.

I bought Clive Everton's book, 'Black Farce and Cue Ball Wizards' many years ago and asked him to sign it the next time I saw him. He wrote 'Paul, master referee and one of the good guys'. Biggest compliment I think I'll ever have from this sport. Thanks again, and RIP Sir.

With my Dragon, back in our second home for a few days. The photos are this weeks view, compared with last weeks 🤔👍

I was there today and saw old friends again, met new friends, and had a great time in a fantastic venue at Paul Lloyd’s Landywood club. Two days left, free entry, go and witness the skill these cue masters have. If you don’t understand Billiards, you’ll pick it up in no time!

✨ The greatest hour in our history ✨ On this day in 1963, we beat the All Blacks. John 'Dick' Uzzell's 17th-minute drop goal was enough to defeat one of the greatest New Zealand teams of all time in front of 25,000 people at Rodney Parade. #COTP #YmlaenCasnewydd
