You know how much I have relied on Global and before that, Snookernet, to provide me with the information for my own website.<br /><br />I only hope I will still be able to get the same info but sadly we are already seeing a drop off in reliabilty - no knock out results for the World Under-21 (or at least no working link to them), no regularly updated century list for PTC3 etc.<br /><br />Luckily Janie has arranged for me to get info direct - bless you for that Janie.<br /><br />We all wish her well in her new venture.

I recall Sir an article by Supreme S on the value in “Being in the Right Place” etc on life’s opportunities or is it “Operchancities”.<br /><br />Personally I lost mine Sir when “Passing Through” a bombed bank near the River Xanton a few years back without realising the waste paper we were trod ding was (For a Change) real live currency.<br /><br />Some people get second chances Mr S! My “Operchancity” will positively come again with “Snooker The Fine Art Method” as a copyright on coaching snooker is “Unique” and near enough for ever.

Incredibly, we've never met in person despite both living in Wales.<br />Running a decent snooker website is hard work and requires a lot of effort. The old TSN website was good fun, and I can still remember watching the action from Scotland via a grainy image though my 56k modem all those years ago, with Ruth and Phil giving us studio presentation. <br />My website (which I half-own) has been both fun and controversial in its relatively short life, and I openly admit I'll need more help if I'm fulfil my ambitions for it. Unfortunately the need to earn a living sometimes gets in the way of me doing as much as I'd like.<br />Janie- all the best with your new job.SupremeSnooker.comhttp://www.supremesnooker.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-44104027588779027092010-08-08T17:21:34.724+01:002010-08-08T17:21:34.724+01:00could you expand please?could you expand please?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-10844824917205895102010-08-08T17:12:29.171+01:002010-08-08T17:12:29.171+01:00In my unbiased opinion: the content, video intervi...In my unbiased opinion: the content, video interviews, live streaming and general irreverenceDave Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037719321756898982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-26871867153912804292010-08-08T16:54:52.069+01:002010-08-08T16:54:52.069+01:00what made the old tsn so good?what made the old tsn so good?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-36482858952099371302010-08-08T09:58:07.814+01:002010-08-08T09:58:07.814+01:00Using the Bentley and Skoda analogy that would mea...Using the Bentley and Skoda analogy that would mean the early TSN/110 was Concorde - nothing like it since.<br /><br />Good luck JanieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-54451220054677367362010-08-07T21:54:15.483+01:002010-08-07T21:54:15.483+01:00thanks for keeping me in touch with all the qualif...thanks for keeping me in touch with all the qualifiers and rankings over the years. you ensured global snooker was a "bentley", whilst world snooker was a "skoda"! might get to say thanks personally one day as my mate has signed with paul. good luck for the future and once again, many thanks.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05017446316445141600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-84275825258449263112010-08-07T16:43:09.313+01:002010-08-07T16:43:09.313+01:00who u calling Mary Eli u eccentric old fool. 11 57...who u calling Mary Eli u eccentric old fool. 11 57 .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-59667520255484940582010-08-07T09:37:32.658+01:002010-08-07T09:37:32.658+01:00All the Best Janie in your new venture, I'm su...All the Best Janie in your new venture, I'm sure you'll be happy there and if it's what you want you more than deserve it for the efforts you've made over the years.<br />SnookerbackerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-60957443704299535332010-08-07T01:24:57.863+01:002010-08-07T01:24:57.863+01:00Yes but you do have a warped sense of humour Dave!...Yes but you do have a warped sense of humour Dave!!<br /><br />Do you think someone should tell World Snooker that Barry had a max tonight?!Janienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-82860433524898846612010-08-07T01:05:41.764+01:002010-08-07T01:05:41.764+01:00Snookerheed remains one of the funniest things I&#...Snookerheed remains one of the funniest things I've ever readDave Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037719321756898982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-80515907935774728422010-08-07T00:59:43.235+01:002010-08-07T00:59:43.235+01:00I do hope Global wasn't that bad today cos it ...I do hope Global wasn't that bad today cos it was me doing the updates!

What I discovered was what an intelligent, funny and self-indisposed lass she was(and is!). The "Global snooker" name is one I'll never forget.
