I'd only been awake about 1/2 hour, I sat there gob open, not knowing what to say, & he asked me if I was looking forward to it. Can't remember what we talked about for the next couple of minutes but remember thinking what a right tit I made of myself when he got up.
Then, I thought, "snooker player, he won't be that quick, I'll run around with him & have a chat". He got around in about 39 minutes and came 9th I think, bloody hard course too, I never saw him from about 2 steps after the start line. One of those annoying shits who's brilliant at everything.
