Snookered

He had his problems, but when he was at his best, he was a joy to watch

Just read that myself. cry:

Raging nutter, but who cares? He was a massive colourful character.

Bumped into him at L'pool airport once, jibbering away to himself. eeek:

He'll be up there now drinking with George Best, Richard Burton,Richard Harris, Oliver Reed...Apparently Reed spiked Alex Higgins’ whisky with Chanel perfume. Higgins reacted by squirting washing-up liquid in Reed’s crème de menthe...

Just watched Alex's funeral procession. Could have swore I'd read that to save money he was to be buried in his snooker cue case.  ;)

It's better than I ever even knew.  They say that the world was built for two.  Only worth living if somebody is loving you.  Baby now you do.

It is not expected of critics that they should help us to make sense of our lives; they are bound only to attempt the lesser feat of making sense of the ways we try to make sense of our lives.
