@dennistaylor147 In assessing whether there is a free ball the cushions must be disregarded: only balls not on can create a snooker.

@brendanmoore147 @janverhaas I’m made up for you mate!

[Clive Brown @clivebrown]

@SnookerInfo147 But Boiko had already laid his cue on the table and offered his hand as an act of concession.

[Clive Brown @clivebrown]

@Hey_Spin are an absolute joke. Nine days after making a withdrawal request for a not insubstantial sum and there’s still no indication as to when I might get my money. My advice is to stay clear of them #heyspin

@kendoherty1997 No foul. It would only be a foul if the nominated ball ends up being the effective snookering ball on *ALL* balls on (reds). In his case it doesn’t.

[Clive Brown @clivebrown]

@TippingPointITV Great you referred to the cue ball and not the white. Shame about the three errors in the question - including the answer!

@HolidayInn Disgraceful. Bar closed by 22:40 on a Friday eve and refused service. Last night same. Won’t be staying at Leamington Spa/Warwick again. As a Spire Elite member I expect better from the HI brand.

@snookerbacker @paulrinaldi147 @ronnieo1954 @pdebdon Sending my very best wishes SB. Hoping for a very speedy recovery.

@jogbert I did, of course, mean an iPhone11!

[Clive Brown @clivebrown]

Just how hard is it to spend big money? I need a new phone. First went to Apple and they had sold their quota of iPhone 13s. Next O2: they couldn’t sell me a phone for cash. John Lewis: couldn’t even get the attention of an assistant so I walked out. Came home spending nothing.

@jlandpcustserv Nice one JLP, you’ve just lost a £1400 sale. Not quite the customer service you’re supposed to be renowned for. In fact no customer service at all.

[Clive Brown @clivebrown]

@cp_reading Initial thought: ‘another nice CP hotel’ but what a sad end to a pretty awful day. I wanted to relax with a nice glass of wine. Impossible with 100+ drunken wedding guests making so much noise it’s given me a headache. One nearly fell on me! Another nicked my chair.

[Clive Brown @clivebrown]

@IHGService Used that number. Was told the hotel was full (which website showed me direct). So much for 'guaranteed room availability'. Re-checked using a 3-night stay: lo & behold rooms are available. Book that & edit the stay back to 2 nights. Sorted. I repeat: what is the benefit of GRA?

[Clive Brown @clivebrown]

@ihgrewardsclub Prey tell me, what exactly is the point of 'guaranteed room availability' with Platinum Ambassador status? Just tried booking for mid-July only to be told "they're fully booked". So, in fact, there isn't GRA!

[Clive Brown @clivebrown]

@IHGService Thanks. Is that a UK number? I dial it and it says it is incorrect. Strange that if I try to book a three night stay to include the two I really want *IS* showing as available!

[Clive Brown @clivebrown]

@eorailway Not a happy bunny. Plans in tatters due to late running buses and connecting trains not being held. Waste of £16.

[Clive Brown @clivebrown]

Disapppinted with @hinewport - it’s -1C outside and my radiator refuses to get warm :-(

[Clive Brown @clivebrown]

@Morrisons Disaster at Yeovil today. Been sold out of date meal. screenwash which leaked everywhere and ruined bread, and a missing meal meaning no 3 for £6 discount. And they won't asnwer the phone! 15 miles is too far to return to complain.

[Clive Brown @clivebrown]

@MartynDRoyce @EurosportUKTV Nice one! Well deserved.

[Clive Brown @clivebrown]

@IHGService A week later and still nothing direct from the hotel!
