This week I've been running up mountains, chopping bits of wood and picking up rocks, all while mumbling 'no pain' to myself in preparation for this week's Journal Snooker League fixture.

It's the next round of the soon to be legendary Journal Snooker League tonight.
Toby had the afternoon off... almost certainly so he could spend around five hours practicing for tonights game.
He met Lewis Hamilton this week and declared the pocket-sized driver "isn't as short as you'd think". He's clearly made the mistake of comparing Hamilton's height to his own and given Toby carries a little box around the table for his shots and needs to use the rest to break off, it's not hard to see whe…

Apologies for the delay but worry not - the Journal Snooker League has not yet perished in the Siberian winter.
We've had a couple of weeks off but returned on Thursday for more top quality potting action.
Despite the break, very little has changed. We played four frames with y…

With the latest Battle of the Baize only hours away here's my final blog before the big third fixture of the Journal Snooker League 2009.
I left the house this morning without my cue. After much soul searching I decided it was probably worth the 30 second walk back up the street to p…

I thought I would put a quick update online before the much anticipated third league fixture on Thursday. On Saturday me and Toby played a practice match at Hunters- basically because he pitifully pleaded that he needed the practice.
