Wow they're really pushing the boat out aren't they? I wonder how much they had to pay Stephen Lee. A bagful of Pukka Pies?

Isn't he ranked 65th or something?

agree with QM, stephen lee is horrible to look at. i can't put my finger on it but he is just loathsome. can we look forward to brian "pecker" woods's odious nine-darter?

They were saying Star Wars will be coming soon since the last ATEI.
It'd better be quite good if its taken over a year to develop.

SAME DIFFERENCE - failed X factor wannabe Licence?

STAR WARS A NEW HOPE
MORE 4 (THE TV CHANNEL) PUB QUIZ
MONSTERS OF ROCK

STEPHEN LEES 'MAXIMUM BREAK'
thats scraping the barrel of snooker celebrity

'After a failed drugs test in 2000 briefly upset his momentum'
with his size he had a lot of it

'He is noted for his unusually high weight for a professional sportsman, although he has attempted to reduce this by not binge-drinking or eating late at night'

'contemplated suicide after not winning weight in pukka pies'
a relieved spokesman for pukka said 'if Stephen had won his weight in pies we would have gone into receivership'

how about Alex Higgins PUB QUIZ / PINTS MEANS PRIZES
with bonus round 'nut the landlord'

Given the state of most of the rubbish that now gets released, almost certainly not.

If this was a typo then it's my early vote for favourite typo of 2010.

That's one way of beating the landlord I suppose, or of getting beaten by him.

I once witnessed Alex pinning someone down to a snooker table after the guy had been chatting to his girlfriend. Now that was an exhibition evening. Steve Davis is down my local club soon and I hope to see nothing less.

On another occasion my dad answered Higgins' pone call to the cop shop when his wife was chucking his stuff out of the house. My old man wasn't having any of it and said there was nothing they could do. "Do you know who I am?" slurred Higgins. "I don't care if you're the bloody Queen," my dad replied, and promptly slammed the phone down. That's my dad for you.

P.S. Don't ever play Pube Quiz, it will get you by the short and curlies.

To be fair, Dave, it was Barry Trotter's typo not yours, but no less delicious for that!

we all know it is a mate's rates job. but that doesn't stop it from being funny in terms of professional humiliation.

A while back Stephen Lee was forced to pull out of a ranking event after injuring himself answering the phone.

Guess I'm on my own when it comes to being a Stephen Lee fan then.

Great quote from a mighty snooker player by the name of ......... (come on, let's build up the intro) ........... STEPHEN LEE!!!!!!!!

"I've always said if you get out of bed the right side then you've done most of the hard work."
