Ooh, what flavours are they? They look lovely. :)

Top one is strawberry (Very nice. Probably cut the strawberry up smaller next time though)
Bottom one is Orange (With orange sauce & segments, for even more orangeness)
Looks good!

I’ll take a box of each please.

Oh wow. I'd love to try both of those!
Joans and I usually meet up semi-regularly to play snooker, but obviously cannot at this time. So we signed up for a hilariously old and clunky online snooker service to play a best-of-35 series. Unbelievably it's currently locked at 16-16. Should I livestream what is potentially the final session tomorrow?
You'll be needing commentators too!

And be wearing evening suits.
What's the service?

iSnooker/The Snooker Club.

It’s before we found ShootersPool which is what we’re moving onto next.

Well volunteered! I’ll give you the Discord details. It’ll be tomorrow sometime between 1-3. ;)

Don't get ahead of yourself, I do have a job to do so can't guarantee I'll be able to play tomorrow.
Scared. I see.

Terrified.
What most people don’t know is that you’ve blown a 15-10 lead!

I think you will find that everyone doesn't know that.
Looks like it'll be Sunday. Will try to give some advance warning!

Ok, this is happening 3pm Sunday. Twitch link will be:

If TV needs a partner in the commentary box I'm well up for it.

I’m not exactly sure how we can do it considering you won’t be able to spectate the game except via Twitch, where there’s lag.
Well, we could both watch the twitch feed while commentating in a Zoom meeting.

That could work!
3pm might be a bit difficult for me but let me see what I can do. I'm well up for commentating and I'd be happy to sit alongside Grim.. and share the duties!

If there’s a better time we are fairly flexible.
What about this evening? Say 8:30ish?

But of course, don't change on my account.
I am usually on a call with my parents around that time. Can you do any earlier?
I can't do this evening either.
We might be able to stretch to starting at 5, but we can’t really do any later.
Let's aim for 3 and I'll see what I can do... Like I say, don't change your plans for me.
Because of technical issues, this can't be streamed on Twitch. Instead you can find it in this Zoom room: https://zoom.us/j/4840262307

Room is open now if you wanted to chat (although it's currently empty).
I should be in shortly.

Yes but it’s been recorded for posterity. Once Grim… has finished the final edit he’ll upload it. Should be a week or so in the cutting room
I dunno. I'm still waitig for his WHIP WHIP WHIP whip only dark souls 3 .

I like cock
Also: The quality of play was such that you would not even get watchongO'sullivan at his peak vs Hendry at his peak.

Truly two specialists in the game of one.

Fuck, I wonder if I still have those.
In the meantime:

More snooker commentators should say things like "he has fucked it so hard".
Incredible. Just like being there
Just watched 40 minutes of it through again. It's bizarrely compelling.
"Jesus Perkies! Load the game or don't!"
"Crunk it, Joan's"
I think a series of beex sporting events with commentary is in order.

I'm not really bothered about snooker, but the commentary made it. :D

Oh my god.
"This young, old, middle-aged man" has stayed with me all day. It may go on my gravestone. Top work.
If I have achieved nothing else during lock down, I have managed to clip the cat's front claws with no injuries.
I have discovered being a crash test dummy is not fun :)
