This final is really stressful. What's worse is that tomorrow there won't be any snooker at all.

This is from 2014. RoS not the only one who has aged. My poor dog is now 15+ and back legs hardly work now. I still have the dressing gown. #snooker

Thank God for Joe! For far too many years it was just Rob Walker speaking slowly and loudly while still using very idiomatic English to interview the Chinese players. #snooker

Mark Allen is such a class act. I like him so much as a person and a commentator. I hate watching him play though so double glad Wu got through.

Love snooker so much

Because Hazel warned me that Rob Walker was scampering to the commentary box for the Wu-Vafaei match, I am watching that match whilst listening to the the Higgins-Robertson match. That won't get confusing. #snooker #snooker

Abigail is a really good interviewer. Asks pertinent questions about the match and doesn't shy away from hard questions without pushing to make the player uncomfortable. #snooker

Today's Spelling Bee makes me realis/ze how British I've become. Everything looks funny. It's still a "zee" though.

Apologies to Ronnie and you're welcome to He. I fell asleep at the beginning of the match and since I woke up, Ronnie hasn't scored. I could hear it but was too tired to open my eyes. Mistimed #Snooker Snooze

#Snooker World Championships have started! I'm 30 minutes late due to a hospital appointment but now I'm ready for the next 17 days! My goodness I need this!!

I’ve given this a great deal of thought, trying to come up with the perfect joke for this moment, and this is what I have so far - POPE LEO: our religion teaches that this war is bad VANCE: wow, who died and made YOU head of the Catholic Church?? POPE LEO: well, you should know, you were there

Alan MacManus warning about the dangers of cue-swapping addiction for professional #snooker players.

Lovely to see Allen and Wu's reactions.

@flygirlnhm.bsky.social Just saw you on Harry Hill's podcast. You stole the show. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LC-x...

Was just coming here to post about how much I hate Ref cam. Please not again.

It's funny to be watching half pipe skiing and Mark Selby playing snooker at the same time. Hugely different energies!

The first vote I ever cast was for Jesse Jackson in 1988.

A quick reminder of what #BigFebruary is about… Thanks to the magic of the cosmos, we start gaining daylight much faster in Feb than in Jan. Over 20 mins a week - setting us up for Spring. This chart is by @neilrkaye.bsky.social and is one of my all time favourites.

Harry Hill has a new podcast on Youtube--the Harry Hill Show. Comes out Monday morning. All the craziness of his tv show but in essentially an empty room. Bizarre but works. Stewart Lee was his first guest. Also had Nish Kumar and CMAT. Also a serious educational guest and a Name That Seed.

John Higgins is so amazing! The consistency over 30+ years and still winning...still in the final of the Masters! #snooker

#snooker Robertson v Selby frame 7. I'm beginning to think it possible that no one ever pots the black.

Hurrah. I finished @nationalbooktokens.bsky.social #HiddenBooksGame #HiddenBooks.

Despite @dryadula.bsky.social helping me I cannot get the girl in the pjs on the #HiddenBooksGame. It's my last one.

Managed to get up to 15/20 on #HiddenBookGames thanks to other Blueskyers help!

important reminder: food banks usually prefer money to direct food donations because they can buy at discounted rates check with your local food bank to be sure but now is the time to help out

Loving Hamza'a Wild Isles. Hamza is such a great tv presence. Tuna off Devon coast. Bearded tits. Cave spiders.

Looking forward to an afternoon of snooker on freeview tv [DMAX] while I snooze on the sofa. It's been a tough few weeks.

We had 640 Resistors at the protest in Hayesville NC, a very red little town!

Earlier in March, Linsey Hilsum on Twitter shared this poem by Bonaro W Overstreet

My husband went with me to my GP appt and she addressed him with my surname. I told him now he know how I feel every time I get something addressed "Mrs Husband" [I also hate being addressed as "Mrs." I'm "Ms" but the UK cannot seem to get their heads around it. Mostly cause they mispronounce it.]

BBC accused of 'extraordinary' anti-Green bias after party say the Laura Kuenssberg Show scrapped a promised interview with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Sunday. Green sources say the show also refused to interview Polanski after he was elected as leader last month bylinetimes.com/2025/10/06/b...

Describe your Bluesky account in a single image

I am horrified by the images of a mosque in Peacehaven burning after a suspected arson attack. Everyone should be able to worship free from fear and terror. Islamophobia is totally unacceptable. Those who spread hatred and incite violence against Muslim communities must stop.

From a FB post [Mira Gupta]. The embroidery artist is Laney Boyd. Really spoke to me.

Rest in Peace Patricia Routledge

Does anyone know anything about Tens for referred pain from lumbar facet joints? No medical professional has said anything to me about it, which very much surprised the psychiatrist I saw yesterday [to deal with the feelings of despair from 5 months of distrubed sleep due to pain.]

Compulsory 'voluntary work' is just unpaid Labour. Effectively they want to make migrants do community service for the crime of wanting to live in the UK

There is no way I would have had the energy to do any volunteer work along side my NHS work when I was applying for indefinite leave to remain. And I didn't even have childcare responsibilities to worry about.

Yesterday I went for blood test at special clinic just for blood test. I noted 6 people sitting waiting. This is not normal. I asked reception and was told "we are running behind because we couldn't get into IT today. I can't tell you how long i will be."

Just bought some Voltarol [diclofenac gel]. Package says "Do not use more than 56 g in a week." The 30 g tube I bought cost £9 on special offer. Pain is expensive.

Seen on FB on a group called Brains and Spoons.

Please note @muslimcouncil.bsky.social is on Bluesky. Go on..give them a follow!

I saw a Rosh Hashanah post and thought "Wait that's not until September." So that tells you where I am right now.

Zhou has taken on all the Marks this week. Will he be able to beat his 3rd for the final? #snooker #EnglishOpen

How does Cole Hocker's hair look better after winning the 5000 meters than mine does walking a block? [World Athletic Championships]

Oh... #Strictly starts tonight. Well...my husband could have mentioned that yesterday when I was not so happy with life.
