According to the Daily Mirror, Ronnie O'Sullivan has been living on a houseboat for the last week.
He told the newspaper: "In Sheffield during the World Championship I was staying near a marina and decided to get one. I spent a week sussing it all out, and even went down to Chelsea. The one I have got is like a floating apartment.
"I love it. I have had it a week, and not been home. It's very calming, and they are relatively cheap. I can chill, sit outside, watch the football and I'm out of the traffic which I can't stand.
"Being on the water appeals to me, and a bit of privacy and being away from the rat-race.
"Also it is the basic living aspect of it. I have a car but I have got rid of a lot of the luxuries I had. I have gone back to basics.
"I've probably gone off my head, haven't I? I have still got my house, and now the boat, and the kids can come and stay with me.
"I am a single parent now, and the kids are my main focus."

the way things are going every player will be on a boat sailing off to the middle of the ocean before going down like the titanic.
How many humorous lines can this story give us - rats leaving a sinking ship, sold down the river, sinking without a trace etc.......
i wish Ronnie would sail off into the sunset and retire like he *always* threatens to.
I don't think it's sooooo bizarre to live on a ship. I would be sea - sick all the time but if he likes it: Why not.
tons of houseboats/barges in Amsterdam!
Hope he isn't any part of a future rudderless ship in snooker.....
