Well, fairly recently, right?

Yeah.

Well, with, with WST, yeah.

I mean, many years ago I used to do sort of a, a bit of commentary elsewhere for like pool events, uh, sort of money matches, pool tournaments.

So I did that sort of...

Probably started that about 10 years ago.

Um, uh, and then done a little bit of snooker commentary for the WPBSA on like women's events and disability events sort of online on their YouTube channels and, and social media and stuff.

Yep

Michael, why don't you expand on the point I was making

there? No, I agree with you.

I mean, when we see reactions to death of politicians, which might seem shallow or spiteful or petty or juvenile, however you want to call them, perhaps we should consider why they're happening.

Even a politician like Anne Widdicombe, who had a medium amount of power, she wasn't a cabinet minister for a long time.

She didn't.

But she was nonetheless a prominent politician.

I mean, this could apply to Anne Widdicombe's example.

If nothing else, it's more honest and also provides for a better public discussion, I think.

[laughs]

... "Well, it's because of what he did." Or Alexander Hamilton, why did he set up that banking system? That's why we have these problems.

But these guys are doing that because from their perspective, Israel is doing religion wrong.

They're doing it the wrong way.

Verse 21 and 22 is ripping on Jeroboam.

I mean, I, I wrote in my scriptures this is 931 to 910 BC.

This is 200 years ago.

Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumor, and return to his own land, and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.' So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish."

It can only be pressure, can't it?

Absolutely.

Yeah, I mean, he makes it, you know, 999 times out of 1000, you know, it's absolutely straightforward.

But the pressure he was under, what the Crucible puts you through, you know, to achieve a dream to get through to the final.

It's just staggering.

I just wasn't expecting it.

I mean, we're talking about Alan here, who's a former world number one.

What changed in that final session that allowed him to come through?

Can you explain or describe what unfolded?

Yeah, thanks for having me on, Jason.

Yeah, absolutely.

It's a staggering frame.

One of the most remarkable frames I've ever seen.

Absolutely bonkers.

I mean, the session was going all the way of Mark Allen.

Should the referee, the tournament director, have stepped in earlier given how long it dragged out?
