If a particulatly fine cut is required on the snooker tables up our club but its do-able its known as a 'Graham Webb' - if its impossible then its a 'Frankie' - as in frankie frazer couldn't cut that.  The choice of inflatable does seem a bit strange - i like it but how super mario / frank sidebottom ties up with a hairdressers, i'm not sure  

Is the 'Jeremy Thorpe' shot still common parlance among the snooker fraternity?

not that i'm aware of but we've got some nonsense for most things that happen on the table - i'm guessing this involves the brown somehow ?

Pretty sure it was plain old Graham Webb. Next door to Mackley's....

Nothing like a bit of consistency in branding (marketers and proof readers on here, are your teeth itching?)

Is that the snooker shot where the player accidentally hits the dog when aiming at a former lover?

I though it was a 'Jeremy Thorpe' when you didn't know whether to go for the pink or the brown.

Tried to get pictures of that from Tom Morris for years. He couldn’t remember it and reckoned he’d gone for refreshments.

My ex worked for Graham Webb in the Lee Green shop. An I met him a few times when I picked her up after work, on the odd late Friday evening. Would wait in the staff room and chat with Graham who was a big Charlton fan. An believe it or not also met Glen Tilbrook, who was dating one of the stylists from the shop.  Oh…. That’s a long time ago……

An… best pitch invasions were at Plymouth. Appeared to be a regular thing, and whole ground would wait and cheer. Some young fella ducking and diving around the pitch being chased bu some older fat fellas.
