Helluva long frame there followed by lots of crappy 'COME ON' air punching.

Like the great champion he is, Ray Reardon has spotted that Rishi is tiring and is proceeding to grind him down.

They should do a retro tournament special where these new young players drink pints and smoke while playing 30 odd frames.

When did the Ebdon-Dott nightmare finish? Cos I think that was later than 1985's final, and as such the latest ever. But this will surely go roaring past that...

I actually feel I could go to sleep for an hour or so, and wake up and they'd still be on this frame.

JP pointed out he should use some of it to reimburse his mum's airfare, in case he hadn't thought of it himself, and to make him sound like a right bastard if he didn't do it.
