Love the bit on Bill's wiki page " Werbeniuk was noted for the copious amounts of alcohol he consumed before and during matches – at least six pints before a match and then one pint for each frame. In total, he drank between 40 and 50 pints of lager per day.[1][3] Doctors advised Werbeniuk to drink alcohol to counteract a familial benign essential tremor.[4] Later in his career he also took propranolol, a beta blocker, to cope with the effects of his alcohol consumption on his heart.[5] Bill was also famously reported in the UK tabloid press as successfully claiming the cost of 6 pints of lager before every match as a tax deductible expense.[2] Some of Werbeniuk's most famous feats of drinking include: 76 cans of lager during a game with John Spencer in Australia in the 1970s;[1] 43 pints of lager in a snooker match/drinking contest against Scotsman Eddie Sinclair in which, after Sinclair had passed out following his 42nd pint, Werbeniuk was reported to say "I'm away to the bar now for a proper drink";[6] 28 pints of lager and 16 whiskies over the course of 11 frames during a match against Nigel Bond, in January 1990 – after which Werbeniuk then consumed an entire bottle of Scotch to "drown his sorrows" after losing the match.[1] " Quote

Cheese Posted January 15, 2022 Author Posted January 15, 2022 The snooker today has been sensational! Managed to avoid the Robertson-Williams result and watch it on catch up. Both Semi-Finals have gone to deciding frames. Weirdly, all 4 semi-finalists have been left-handed too. Robertson v Hawkins final tomorrow. Cannot wait. Quote
Cheese Posted January 15, 2022 Author Posted January 15, 2022 The final frame of Robertson v Williams was particularly fascinating. Proper snooker. What a tournament this has been. Quote
Cheese Posted January 16, 2022 Author Posted January 16, 2022 Fantastic tournament. Well deserved winner. I fucking love Snooker. Quote
stevieb Posted January 16, 2022 Posted January 16, 2022 Can't get on with the Aussie. He's got 2004 hair. Quote

I'm left handed and suffer from hay fever. Not sure the snooker thread is one for throwing out bait but here goes... 🎣 Quote

Probably due to my hay fever 😊 Quote
