The Snookerbacker Blog

I was waiting for the postman as soon as I heard the news of my photo!

I have had some really exciting news. This news has made Mr Snookerbacker very jealous as he never gets anything through the post – apart from bills and silly letters and diaries from his bookies, he never uses them.

I have only had two presents so far and though I loved my first gift from Amarya.co.uk this has to top the lot.  Can you guess what it is yet?

It’s a signed photograph with a personal message from the lovely young man and now my new favourite – Ali Carter (swoon xxx). Look! I have put a copy of it lower down! I’m so excited!

I have already been thinking about where to place the lovely picture and I’m going to buy a nice frame so it doesn’t get damaged.

Mr Snookerbacker put his foot down when I said I could place it next to me on my bed side table and give it a kiss goodnight each night.  I also considering maybe next to the kitchen sink so we could perhaps exchange glances over the soap suds but I am scared it may get wet or Mr Snookerbacker may dunk him when I am not looking.

I think I will opt for placing him on our kitchen wall where we have a montage of all our favourite things. What I am secretly hoping for now is to perhaps collect more photos of all the lovely snooker players with a little message just for me so when I cook dinner it will be like I have invited them all round for tea.

I’m so pleased that Ali is enjoying his Willie so much. It is always nice to see someone happy with their Willie and he got two of them from me and even one from Mr Snookerbacker (but I think he likes the ones I gave him the best or he would have written to Mr Snookerbacker). He even has a couple of spare Willies to look at if he gets bored of one.

I would like to say that Ali is my favourite – and I am sorry to the lovely golden Neil Robertson and Mark Selby but you have not sent me a signed picture – yet?? And Mark Selby I have to tell you that I am following you on Twitter and I want you to follow me (oh and give Steve Davis a nudge too). I can give you some fashion tips if you do and advise you on colour schemes for your snooker outfits, but I know that Vicky will also do this and she does a very good job on you (but I did give you a Willie too so I think I deserve a nice photo with a message just for me x)

And some of you probably thought I was telling fibs. I never do that. Thank you Ali xx. You are welcome for tea and scones anytime you like.

Ok – now for the real big news. Even bigger than the election of Barry V I don’t know who he is (but I think will go for him instead of Barry – why?? Darts is Darts – stop messing with snooker – and one size does not fit all as the 147 cards showed in the world championships – very annoying and a siily idea by a silly rich man). You are not always right you know Mr Barry, but I know Mr Snookerbacker just wants it all settled so if you win I will support you for him but you should stop thinking you know everything and be a bit like the other man. No lady likes a show off.

Well, I now have to say to you that Mr Snookerbacker has been lying to you all from day one.

I felt it is only fair to tell you all the truth as I am an honest woman and I can no longer carry on living a lie. That is until this Friday where Mr Snookerbacker finally pulls his socks up and makes me a real Mrs Snookerbacker. What does this mean for you?  I have suggested he has a few days off before and after the wedding to concentrate on me. Though he has asked me if he can write the odd occasional comment which I have allowed as I am not all that strict and he has a way of talking me around with presents (take note Neil and Mark and any other of the boys who would like me to like them too, but you have a lot to beat with lovely Ali).

I am really looking forward to our big day and will be getting myself all pretty for Mr Snookerbacker. But I think he has been a bit sneaky as our wedding venue has two snooker tables in it (it isn’t a social club, it’s lovely and I don’t know how he knew that) and he has told me he wants to take his cue. I think he might go missing for a bit in the day but I’ll know where to find him and drag him back to dance with me, he is quite good when he gets the right song.

Bye

Xx

P.S. This is my wedding list:

A signed picture of Golden Boy Neil Robertson

A signed picture of Cheeky Chappie Mark Selby

A signed cute picture of lovely Ding

A nice signed photo of Steve Davis (I think Mr Snookerbacker would like this one very much)

A signed picture of Gentleman Joe Perry

A signed photo of the lovely referee Michaela because us ladies have to stick together

Free tickets to finals and hospitality for two are always welcome too

Mr Snookerbacker would like any player to sign anything as he never gets any presents.

Mr Snookerbacker wanted a snooker cake but I have to draw the line sometimes.
