Life in the ol' dog yet eh Brendan? At least I have a target for next year, one year older but one year wiser might be in question lol. Bring on the Whirlwind Saturday night, should be a great end to what has been a good event.
A quick word about my compatriot Alister Wilson from Northern Ireland who defeated Kuldesh Johal in the last 32, who was one of the tournament favourites and current joint highest break holder with David Hogan. Imagine 141 break on the board but out of the tournament. Such is the life of an amateur snooker player. Good work Alister, the only Northern Ireland player left in the event.
With regards to my missing laundry bag I blogged yesterday, how efficient is the Rin Grande Hotel, Bucharest? It has only shown up again in my hotel room, empty and 6 hangers of freshly cleaned shirts, boxers and tshirts hanging in the wardrobe...with a nice bill for 173 Lei
Not much left on the snooker front then for me, maybe still help out with some coaching as Poland, Germany and Russia are still in the tournament. Having said that Irish coach PJ Nolan suggests I concentrate on my own game and leave the coaching to the professionals, which is probably good advice, but you know I am always available to lend a hand, thanks again PJ!
Have to say that I am at a lose end now, snooker season is over for me until September 2010 when I should be back in Cookstown playing for Mitchells Snooker Club, what a strong team we should have. I have a few spare days until the closing ceremony on Saturday night, and would like to see some more of the old town with my new buddy Greg White who is the smoothest, coolest customer on the planet, and then its back to the airport and ariva derchi Bucharest.... gonna miss u girl.
