Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 24-4-2019: The Ego and the Id

24th April, 2019.

Yes: I’ll happily admit to being something of an armchair snooker fan.

One who’s happy to watch the World Championships, if they’re on … 

And one who was happily glued to the First Round match, last night: between Stuart Bingham, and Graeme Dott.

That … ?

That was quite a match.

Going into the last session, Bingham was 9-1 ahead, and looking at a near whitewash … 

Until Dotty managed to catch up, over the next few hours: only losing after a missed red.

And after a lot of tippy tapping around.

Old school snooker, in fact.

With Ronnie O’Sullivan out in the first round?

This year’s championship is looking good!
