Frame 47 - Almonds. In the brave new world of the (spoiler alert) Independent Scotland, self-playing snooker continues in England (though it is not yet clear whether there will ever be another Scotch frame). Me 1 has just been for a 10 and a half mile run, but his fatigue seems to have hit everyone. No one seems capable of talking, thinking, refereeing or playing snooker. Only the new scoring system is infallible and able to carry out calculations that would once have taken days in a matter of seconds (or a minute or two max). Liono is on hand for some non-snooker distraction and there's some searing topical observations as usual, but couched through the medium of snooker so the powers that be and the lawyers can't spot the establishment being shaken to its core.
