  1. I was at this match, and it looked like he farted on his hand, and we could all smell something a little, so I think she did the right thing, as he was being childish, and no one wants a suprise f-bomb gift given in a handshake, it was a Trojan Hand.

  2. Why!!!!! Is women playing snooker now what's this world come to men should go to hospitals to have babies while the women are at the snooker hall n that
