Polebro ate cat.

Anime.

This is the new show by the creators of the official snooker mascot Mio, so it's obviously /sp/ related.
(It's bad, but I already knew that, because I read the first chapter when the manga released nearly 10 years ago.)

We're not best suited to judging the quality because it was meant for little girls. I'm sure they like it just fine.

You should be able to answer all of these questions.

>>149877905
I think little girls would get bored of it even faster than I have.

Stephen Hendry is such a fraudulent bum
How fucking crooked was his cue for him to pot it back in the day

>>149878453

How l wish this fat fuck returned to the big game. Proper player. Best cue control I've seen.
Sadly he's not John Higgins, so they won't let him back on the biggest stage.

Shoot Out, World Mixed Doubles, Six-red World Championship, World Women's Snooker Championship, Championship League (ranking), Championship League (invitational).
Saudi would be the seventh.

MONDAY
>Group E: Chris Wakelin, David Gilbert, Ricky Walnut, Liu Hongyu

GWAN WEAKLING AND GILBERTO

>>149887736
Never

My front door is being painted today and the guy painting it is schizophrenically muttering swear words and violent threats to himself. That'll teach me to trust a trader.

Try and life coach him lol. I had a bloke years ago fitting a new back door and he just sang fuckin show tunes the whole time, no radio or nothing, I was in tears laughing.

POV: my lap :^)

>>149891398
I had a chat with him turns out he's just got tourettes lol and I'm not going to be violently murdered in my own home.

GWAN WALNUT
GWAN SELT
We need a strong Selt in the Championship League (ranking).

Guys, I just thought of one. Here it is...

Hahahahahahaha

Lmao.

GWAN LIAM
GWAN ANIA

GWAN MAT, SLAY THE PIG
Ricky in, by the way.

>>149895379
>GWAN MAT, SLAY THE PIG
"no"
We want Pig to win so that the YWP proceeds

>>149895629
I don't like his face. I mean, it's not worse than Selt's, certainly, but I already got used to that mug.
Plus, the League without at least either Selt or Milkins is no League.

>>149893837
>Post of the season in July

MONDAY'S WINNERS
>Matthew Salt and Ricky Walnut

TUESDAY
>Group G: Ben Mertens, Amir Sarkhosh, Sam Craggy, Yao Pengcheng

Predictions?

It seems my luck only works when it counts, in the most prestigious events.

Now finally we are having pure /kino/ again

Morning lads, teaching some law class this morning and all the little fools will have no idea I'm posting on /147/

>>149878453
>Which snooker player had a TV personality?
I don’t even understand the question. I hope the answer isn’t Shaun Murphy, but he does have the sort of personality that TV people often have (smiles a lot, attention-seeking, secretly a sex case, etc).

if Tom Ford wins this tournament, I'm never watching the Championship League ever again

>>149900860
>teaching some law class this morning

>>149902873
Completely forgot it was him who said that.

>>149902365
God I wish, I work out of what is basically an old Georgian Tenement building. Could be worse I suppose
>>149902873
I'm so grateful I'll never be one of those people who rants on social media (with my actual name attached anyway)

>>149902873
Playing deliberately slowly to gain advantage is obviously despicable and should be a bannable offence but what is 'messing the balls up on pursose' supposed to mean?

holy shit new Autechre live set just dropped!

>>149905024
fixed (heh)

In order to not let Ford win the group, Wu needs to win the next two frames and make a pretty high century (higher than 131) in the process.
Anti-Ford bros, Wu bros...

>old Georgian

WEDNESDAY - the end of the Championship League (ranking)

>Group 1: Tom Ford, Joe O'Connor, Ricky Walden, Xu Si
>Group 2: Pang Junxu, Stephen Maguire, Matt Selt, Ben Mertens
>the two group winners play a Bo5 final

what happened to are selby in this tournament? was he ever even in it?

>>149904998

>>149909576
I think Selbz Jester is probably busy looking after his mental gnelf

>>149909448
>Bo5 final
Woah woah woah.

>>149909576
He won Championship League (invitational) twice in a row, so he probably wants to leave the (ranking) one for the others.

GWAN Seethen, Joao and, most importantly, Ania

>two matches won 3-0
When he's good, he's on fire.

Yup, I could go for a comfy Seethen v JOC final

>>149918333
Only if Seethen wins.
Also, he's already in the final, really. Only Ben (not that one) can get 6 points now, but even if he won his last match 3-0 and Guire lost his 0-3, the result of the match between them would decide the first place, and Stephen won that.

>wins every match in your're path

>Seethun v Goner final already confirmed
>Ford v Goner still going anyway.

Mattioli arena confirmed to be the most prestigious arena in the world

what do we have to look forward to next boys (snooker-wise of course)?

>>149923008
I don't want to spoil too much, but make sure you have your binoculars at the ready on Monday because there may be a Hawk a-swooping somewhere in Shanghai

You guys are really out as of tomorrow?

>>149937275
If you're talking about that fake screenshot about 4chan being banned in the UK, then it's an obviously fake screenshot, even has typos.

>>149937361
im glad its fake, being out of here for so long...but since they started locking ppl for "hate speech" instead of real criminals, nothing surprises me anymore, desu.
and yes, I have read 1984, F451, The Camp Of The Saints and seen Idiocracy and i see more and more parallel with reality

It's been a pleasure
