I remember when I was a small lad, my father went to a snooker tournament and was sitting in the crowd watching the game live. The TV camera panned on part of the crowd he was sitting in, I jumped up and down shouting hello daddy in front of the TV only for him to continue sitting there and "ignoring" me. I was p!$$ed at him until my mother explained that he couldn't see me :

Then again, my interest in sports is varied. I absolutely HATE watching football. Usually it's a snorefest whenever I put any club matches on, I'm Zzzz in NO time. I can stand cricket somewhat. Absolutely love motorsports of any kind. Acquired interest in snooker over time, and lately got really interested in MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), especially UFC. Now, you can't find more polarizing sports than snooker and mixed martial arts.

I've got well into snooker, and look forward to attending several sessions of the German Masters and the World Championship this year.

The Reason Fishing isn't bigger? Anything you can do well drunk usually isn't a sport...which puts Darts in jeopardy!!
Snooker is alright if there is Nothing else to do......"Water for my horses, beer for my men and mud for my turtle".
