It's the first round isn't it? I saw a little of Lee vs Davis yesterday - who won? I just can't get into snooker on Eurosport in German!

I was surprised Davis was still entering the Embassy actually, then again it is the Embassy I spose.

He took a wild card I think - for charity. Jimmy White is ranked number 10 and qualified on merit though.

He's a top bloke Davis isn't he? I once played a frame with him and Ebdon and the day before with Doherty and someone whose name I always forget. Davis was the one player who would chat and make the effort. Ebdon was particularly miserable!

Yes he is indeed. I haven't met any of them, but on the telly Steve Davis is the most pleasant person among that lot.

Stephen Lee seems a fairly miserable git - though I've only seen him whinge about Ebdon's celebration 2 years ago, to be fair.

Oh well, there's already a thread going on! Can't say a thread calls 'the crucible' had me thinking about snooker in particularly at least until a few days into the competition.

Williams is World #1 regardless now, and we all know he doesn't like it at the Embassy.

Shanks reckons Kenny will snatch it.
