Posted by gls on 03 May 2008 | Tagged as: General
From the first shot, you know this is going to be a special game; the shot for 49 points proves it.
And then 104.
Ronnie’s ninth maximum in competition — a record.
So O’Sullivan now holds two records: the most and the fastest.

Remember those old urban legends about the engine that could run on water that oil companies bought and hid from the public?

All of L’s linguistic development is in Polish currently. But that’s an entirely different post…
L is understanding more and more spoken language every day. She brings things to us; she takes things from one person to another; she puts things back; she gives hugs — all when asked.
She also recognizes people in pictures.
“Pokaz Papa,” I say.
