Hi

As the idea for this came mid-post whilst on here, I thank you once again.

One mistake I noticed, it's Steve Davis, not Davies. He may not have won it as many times as Stephen Hendry, but there's no need to spell his name wrong. :wink:

Also, in the game posted i am apparently K Thompson, which is slightly inaccurate.
True glory lies in doing what deserves to be written; in writing what deserves to be read.

Hi

Changed the K to R Thompson (thanks again for the game - very sporting).

The Davies has to stay as it's on a screen dump.

This wiil be Steve Davies the 'other' snooker player.

(I added the 'e' as a Corner joke)

No there is no getting away with this one. It's a pretty careless bloomer.

I actually met him at a London toy fair. He was promoting a snooker game.
I was selling chess computers.

......Steve Davis is an Orient fan!

It seems to me clear from the various postings up a lamppost on this forum, that Geoff IS a mutt anyway. Just trying to increase his folk's representation.
