Kirk Stevens in 1984 would probably be better than Ding in hindsight.

By:
Not sure about the last two but James Wattana was a pointless answer
|
|
By:
I said
Thorburn Ebdon & stevens |
|
By:
James Wattana Pu Ob Orm. I used to know him quite well.
|
|
By:
thorburn 12
stevens 6 Ebdon 2 well done I knew you would get it |
|
By:
I can't remember Ebdon making one on telly to be honest.
|
|
By:
Neil robertson & maguire were pointless answers believe it or not
|
|
By:
to say we were gutted was an understatement
we said dott & someone else that wee did not use & both were 2 pointers as well |
|
By:
Unlucky, sir! Well done on making the final though.
Sorry I advised revising the WC finalists rather than maximum men.  What were the other pointless answers? I bet Ali Carter would have proved a good answer. |
|
By:
Robidoux & a few others I cannot remember
the last page with Robertson , naguire & someone else were all players playing now |
|
By:
Not sure carter was there
there were 9 pointless answers on the first two pages of three only robidoix & wattana I recognised |
|
By:
I don't watch many tournaments other than the worlds, so can only recall those 147s.
I seem to remember Andrew Higginbottom making a 147 at a major somewhere, though, now I think about it. I bet that would be pointless. |
|
By:
Very surprised at Robidoux. Great player in his day, but I certainly wouldn't have guessed that one.
|
|
By:
cannot remember the others bit shellshocked by then
only played the one game straight to the final & that was that only argument was if we went for snooker or entertainment |
|
By:
in hindsight thorburn was a silly answer that was never going to be pointless
|
|
By:
anyway wd PM
I doubt many others would have got a pointless answer tbh |
|
By:
To be honest, my snooker expertise lies almost exclusively in the eighties and early nineties, so I would have been rather lucky with Wattana.
Gutted for you Pump.  |

Cheers PM
A glorious failure but failure nonetheless catch up with you soon. |

On the Lottery show on Saturday night they had to name as many Sylvester Stallone films as they could. They settled for 20

Prince Charles decided to take up walking every day. At the same street corner he passed a hooker standing there every day.
He learned to brace himself as he approached her for what was almost certain to follow. "One hundred and fifty pounds!" she'd shout. "No! Five pounds!" He said from the side of His mouth, just to shut her up. This ritual between him and the hooker became a daily occurrence. She'd yell, "One hundred and Fifty pounds!" He'd yell back, "Five pounds!" One day, Camilla decided to accompany her 'husband'. As the couple neared the hooker's corner, Prince Charles realised she'd bark her £150 offer and Camilla would wonder what he'd really been doing on all his past outings. He figured he'd better have a good explanation for his Wife As they neared the hooker’s corner he became even more apprehensive than usual. Sure enough, there she stood. He tried to avoid eye contact as she watched the pair pass. Then, the hooker yelled: "See what you get for five pounds, you tight bastard!" |

Waiting in Doncaster , to catch speeding drivers, a Police Officer sees a car puttering along at 22 MPH.
Says he to himself: "This driver is just as dangerous as a speeder!" So he turns on his lights and pulls the driver over. Approaching the car, he notices that there are five old ladies, two in the front seats and three in the back...wide eyed and white as ghosts. The driver, obviously confused, says to him "Officer, I don't understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the problem?" "Ma'am," the officer replies, "you weren't speeding, but you should know that driving slower than the speed limit can also be a danger to other drivers." "Slower than the speed limit? No sir, I was doing the speed limit exactly...Twenty-two miles an hour!" ....the old woman says a bit proudly. The Police officer, trying to contain a chuckle explains to her that A22 is the road number, not the speed limit. A bit embarrassed, the woman grins and thanks the officer for pointing out her error. "But before I let you go, Ma'am, I have to ask....Is everyone in this car OK? These women seem awfully shaken, and they haven't made a sound this whole time," the officer asks. "Oh, they'll be all right in a minute officer. We've just come off the A120." |

Backed the price wise winner yesterday & I did not even know it was price wise when I backed it Friday night
 Mainly because I tipped it up on its last run on the comps forum pumphol. 07 Jun 11 21:45 Haydock 3.20 Tominator 16/1 Bet 365 This horse will go on any ground so non worries about any easing of conditions, I have looked at this horses last run several times & I think the jockey could have done better to say the least, its previous run before that on turf over the distance at the back end of last season was a really good effort, I just hope Cullhane does not have an off day & gives the horse every opportunity at a tasty 16/1 this is overpriced imo & should be much nearer the 10/1 mark & it could give the Fav most to do. Good luck Maybe when Tom retires |

the Catt selections are priced too short to be of much value for a placepot comp but as it's a good way of scoring it ....... I'm busy for a couple of hours so I'll look in later.
