Ardavan Nazari from Tehran in Iran for his amusing tale of his family’s first taste of snooker:

I had a chance to watch the 2005 World Championship live on Eurosport for the first time in my life. I wouldn’t let my parents or my brother watch TV for two weeks.
My father, 60 years old and retired, has never touched a cue and always asked me to watch the news instead of snooker. But after a week, he started to ask questions about the points of colours and the rules.
After the first week of the Championship, I couldn’t stay awake late at night because I was sleepy at work.
Once I woke up at 2am to drink some water. Surprisingly I saw that the TV was on. I found my father watching snooker, and he asked me what a touching ball is!
He also made some Iranian names for the players which best suited them, because he couldn’t remember the English names. For example, he named Peter Ebdon ’fekri’, which means someone who thinks a lot, and ’kachal’ for Ronnie O’Sullivan which means shaved head.
Before the final, my brother started to ask my father some questions about snooker to make fun of him, but he was surprised by the answers. My brother still can’t believe that our father could explain the rule of the touching ball.
Thenceforth, snooker and those magic players became a part of our life.

Dervoigne Thierry from Belgium:
I saw an exhibition with Dennis Taylor where he answered questions from the crowd. He was asked: "Do you think that one day someone will make a robot to play perfect snooker?"
Dennis answered: "We’ve already got one. He’s called Steve Davis."

Bernard Greep from Wigan:
On an instruction video, Steve Davis walked into the corner of the table while strolling around, striking himself in a very sensitive area. To the amusement of the live audience Steve instantly said: “At last, I’ve got a cannon.”

Mark Carrington from Manchester:
One night my club team were playing our league match, and during the first frame our player was using the spider to cue over the pack of reds.
When he had finished his shot, he was lifting the spider off the table and the head fell off the spider and scattered the reds everywhere! You can imagine the laughter!
About ten minutes after this, one of the light bulbs mysteriously fell out on to the table and smashed everywhere! I’ve been playing snooker for 25 years and have never known two occurences like that in the same frame!
