Hullo, I almost phoned up RI:SE to ask Richard if b&s have ever considered writing a song about snooker, which could be played at the end of the World Championships when they show a compilation of all the funny mishaps that have occurred, like the time when a pigeon flew onto the baize just when Ian Botham was about to hit the ball. You see, if I'd got a B for music GCSE instead of a C, I would write a song like this myself. It's a surefire way to pop stardom. It'd be played on telly at least once a year, guaranteed. I'd write a song all about Michaela, the beautiful World Championship referee... I position my cue, She polishes my balls, Then I shoot into the hole. Michaela my dear, Won't you come round for tea? I'll give you a bacon roll. It's a missed opportunity, for sure. Richard's bound to be up for it, too. I've often seen him wistfully chalking the ends of his drumsticks, a tear in his eye for what might have been. I reckon someone should start an internet petition to "Write a song about snooker - do it for Richard!" Did I ever tell you how great Desperation Made a Fool of Me is? Did anyone take part in the I'm A Cuckoo video shoot?
