The Rocket about to resume 5-4 up against arch rival The Captain.
On the other table the opening session of what on paper at least looks an extremely attractive affair between The Belgian Bullet and Dynamite.

I knew that if I persevered, one day I'd get my hands on a plum from Gurjit's velvety ballbag.
(32L for the homespun trousers please Crodo).
Crashed out in Round 1 to debutant Lei Peifan to become the latest victim of the Curse of the Crucible.

Can I just say two things:
1) Good to see I'm safely through. And good to see @crodonilson is too, as we always like seeing the host go deep in world tournaments. Although thankfully, Gurjit managed to draw him the world number one, so perhaps not a surprise.
2) @Trust Me I’m A Stomach remains the most amusing name on NSC.

I quoted it... now corrected... must have been the way Crodo typed it in.
Round Two is complete - barring a miracle 9 fame comeback tonight from Pang and/or Ding). Down to the last eight...

This I believe with possibly a bit of JV for good measure
I'm tuning in to see what unfolds...

Admittedly you would be a tad miffed if your ticketed match is over after the first frame, they lift the barrier only to watch the other game walking off too.

Scotchland giving Wales a good seeing to presently.
I hate snooker nicknames and I hate the way the BBC announcer Rob Walker always has to mention them. I also hate the way John Virgo always says "Where's the cue ball going?" every chance he can. And I hate the way the crowd with earpieces always laugh at stuff the commentators say that isn't in the slightest bit funny. Apart from that, I enjoy the coverage.

The longevity of The Wizard of Wishaw and The Welsh Potting Machine is incredible, to think this could have been a Quarter Final nearly 30 years ago.
