[QUOTE=Grateful Dead]Embassy final :)

I've exams starting on Tuesday, and the snooker is proving to be a welcome distraction from learning enough to do well in them.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, it's proving useful to avoid doing essays and exogeses I have to do, too. An O'Sullivan-Stevens final would've been nice though.

Who is in the final?

We lost tv about 3 weeks ago :upset:

Bartender 05-01-2005 06:06 PM

Stevens and Sean Murphy. O'Sullivan lost to Ebdon before Murphy beat him.

I can't deny Murphy deserves his place, though; considering he's only 22 he's been an excellent player throughout, in pretty much all areas of the game (and his last five frames against Ebdon were somewhat awesome). He's struggling a little against Stevens so far, though.

Bartender 05-01-2005 06:20 PM

Well the last time Stevens was in an Embassy final, he went from something like 13-6 up, to losing the match 18-14. So yeah, I wouldn't rule him out. If Murphy wins, he'll be breaking all kinds of records, won't he?

Yeah, 13-7 against Mark Williams, but Stevens wsn't playing half-bad that day either. Williams was just amazing. If Murphy wins, I believe he'll be the first qualifier to win the Embassy Champ., aswell as the 2nd youngest(Stephen Hendry was the youngest, I think)[/QUOTE]

I thought Alex Higgins (still the best :cool:[font=verdana])[/font] was the youngest, at 23. It's not inconceivable that Hendry was younger though..

He'll also be the last ever winner of the Embassy championship, which isn't exactly a record, but something he'll be remembered for nonetheless.

Jesus, I finally got the Alt/Indie Poll's wheels a'turnin'. That was a pain in the patoot.

Zappa 05-01-2005 07:34 PM

And the forum just got a whole lot uglier.

Good job with that. I think it's going to turn out well.

I went to the casino here a couple of nights ago and won $150 playing blackjack. Good times. :)

Yes crazy internet man, it is I.

AndreTheHyena 05-02-2005 12:40 AM

I move to strike the Beatles from the Great Poll. Already, they have a [i]lot[/i] of votes, and I don't think they are generalized enough to be that important. I should have caught it earlier. . .Agree? Disagree?

The NPC 05-02-2005 12:43 AM

[QUOTE=Zappa]And the forum just got a whole lot uglier.[/QUOTE]

Heh, I can't wait to see the final results from this 'Poll of the Greatest Alt/Indie Bands of All-time blahblahblahblah' and all the crap bands that will be voted to the top. The polls are still rather bare.

AndreTheHyena 05-02-2005 12:47 AM

I tried. :upset:

br3ad_man 05-02-2005 01:39 AM

And an excellent try it was.

Remove the Beatles I say.

AndreTheHyena 05-02-2005 02:18 AM

Will do. They will no longer appear. Screw you, Paul McCartney.

Tomahawk 05-02-2005 08:33 AM

So will Bob Dylan be removed too?

Iai2 05-02-2005 08:35 AM

I say DON'T remove The Beatles, for one.

Though, it all depends upon whether you want 'The Most Important Alt/Indie Bands' or 'The Most Important Bands For The Alt/Indie Genre'. There's a difference. The Beatles weren't an indie band unto themselves, but they had a massive influence on the genre.

Iai2 05-02-2005 08:37 AM

Same for Dylan.

Actually, yeah I did :p

Yeah. Although if they were around today rather than then, they'd probably be classed as alt/indie.

And it's not like they're the only band on there who are guilty of not being strictly alt/indie. Dylan, Can, The Clash, etc...

AndreTheHyena 05-02-2005 10:21 AM

True. Shucks, I dunno. It's just that they're getting so many votes, and I don't want them to end up being the final band chosen, because that's not exactly what I wanted the polls to show.

Iai2 05-02-2005 10:40 AM

I doubt they'll beat The Pixies. Or Radiohead.

In any case, you can always pull the 'undeserving voter' routine, like Med did with Dark Side Of The Moon in the Top 100 albums...... ;)

AndreTheHyena 05-02-2005 12:19 PM

What was that? What happened?

Iai2 05-02-2005 12:28 PM

When we did the Top 100 Albums, Dark Side Of The Moon got enough votes to get into the top 10. Loads of the regulars complained, because when you looked at who had voted for it, it was loads of people who never voted in A&I.

So we discounted all their votes. Then me and Med counted all the people who had voted in the preliminary rounds, and decided who was allowed to vote in the final.
