I have just been watching 9 ball pool on UBC (OK, so I got bored with Koratkam). Not only do we have Sid ("what athletes these men are" - Jocky Wilson/Leighton Reese) Waddell, we have very loud blues music (about  5 seconds) between frames.

God forbid if the Crucible ever emulates it!

It got me thinking. A few famous quotes from the classic wally (sorry; "sports commentator"), Sid Waddell (Geordie extraordinair):

"That's the greatest comeback since Lazarus."

"He's as cool as a prized marrow!"

"He looks about as happy as a penguin in a microwave."

"Darts players are probably a lot fitter than most footballers in overall body strength."

"Keith Deller is like Long John Silver - he's badly in need of another leg."

"He's twitching more than a one legged ferret!"

"He may practice 12 hours a day, but he's not shy of the burger van!"

"That Lad could throw 180 standing one legged in a hammock."

"The atmosphere is so tense, if Elvis walked in, with a portion of chips....... you could hear the vinegar sizzle on them"

"It's like trying to pin down a kangaroo on a trampoline."

"The atmosphere is a cross between the Munich Beer Festival and the Coliseum when the Christians were on the menu."

"The players are under so much duress, it's like duressic park out there!"

“Big Cliff Lazarenko's idea of exercise is sitting in a room with the windows open taking the lid off something cool and fizzy.”

“Even Hypotenuse would have trouble working out these angles”

And my favourite:

“There's no one quicker than these two tungsten tossers... ”
