Had a chat with Ted tonight and I'd forgotten the World Snooker Championships is on, so he swore at me as soon as I uttered two words. He's not exactly Mr Sociable at the best of times, but if you interrupt his annual enjoyment of the coverage of the Crucible, you're asking for both barrels full of vitriol.
I haven't been following it, but I know there was some kind of disruption when Anti-Oil idiots jumped on a table last week, so I asked his thoughts. He said, "What the f**k are you protesting against by ruining a snooker table? Pack of c**ts."
Strong words, but I found myself agreeing with him.
The weird thing about the snooker is that you tune in every year in late April/early-May, and it's always the same 7 or 8 people who are playing. I'm wondering whether the BBC just reruns old matches on rotation, because I'm sure I've seen John Higgins do the same break every year since 1997.
