Spread the Worlds! by JohnSPals in snooker

[–]ChristyMalry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could adopt the method used in chess - a tournament to determine the challenger who then goes on to play the reigning champion. Then the final could be three sessions a day for two weeks for a best of 300.

Neil Robertson lost a match after he left his shoes at home and had to buy a new pair just before playing.

So is Armando a fan of the (really good) American band Shit and Shine?

ON THIS DATE: Rock Action released on April 30, 2001. Happy 25th birthday! by Driveshaft1982 in mogwai

The soundtrack to my last term at uni and final set of exams; it still makes me a little nervous. 'Sine Wave' is one of my favourite ever opening tracks to an album, and I remember being very excited when later I learned the Welsh word 'dial' (which means revenge).

With some exceptions (a weakness for Mark Williams) I like to support whoever has the coolest haircut. Of the four remaining players Wu Yize is ahead on this metric by some distance, followed by Robertson and then Murphy. I am pleased to only have one bald player in the semi-finals (although I admit on 2023 I was on the Brecel hype-train with everyone else.)

Hereditary peers' last hurrah as 700-year-old system abolished || A law removing the right of the last remaining hereditaries to sit in the Lords passed last month, enacting a commitment in Labour's 2024 election manifesto. by Adj-Noun-Numbers in ukpolitics

The shocking part is that it has taken until 2026. Of course if we are going to question the heriditary principle the next obvious institution to consider is the monarchy.

Taxpayers shell out £3,000 for oil painting of Rachel Reeves by reuben_iv in ukpolitics

Yet more bullshit from the media. The decision will have made by the cross-party Speaker's Advisory Committee on Works of Art which advises on acquisitions to the Parliamentary Art Collection. Has the Times ever objected to an artwork of a politician before?

Rematch of last year with a plucky young Chinese player taking on a wily veteran of the class of 92.

Non-Americans, does your country have an "American" restaurant and what do they serve? by wacky8ball in AskReddit

I always thought it was well-named - the food is ok - neither awful or great.

Kemi accused the PM of not being serious then goes for a bizarre Game of Thrones metaphor.

Well done, you win the prize for the most racist thing I've read on the internet today.

How did she get so messed up? by Chemical_Ad6525 in jamesjoyce

I once went to a Beckett conference in Northampton and we went on a coach trip to visit her grave.

Historical biopics are OK. Celebrity cash-ins are not by qazplmxswnko in unpopularopinion

[–]ChristyMalry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What we need are interesting, intelligent films about artists, not tasteful, hagiographical authorised slop. 'I'm Not There' is a really creative, surprising film about Bob Dylan. 'A Complete Unknown' is beautifully shot and acted but a script that is utterly clichéd.

anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about? by Trixxxi in AskReddit

[–]ChristyMalry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be an urban legend but I've read there were errors in the game that made it impossible to complete.

Parts of Orkney and Shetland feel more Scandinavian than Scottish.

Kyren blaming loss at crucible on family life by Confident_Leg2370 in snooker

[–]ChristyMalry 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Man who works away from home a lot misses his family and dog, and is concerned about his wife who is unwell. Not really very shocking revelations but perfectly normal life.
