O/T Oh for an Erica

That was the funniest, the man at the crucible in the live snooker finals .

I was going to say in off the ***** but I'd be called racist, so in off the pink, wait a minute I'm being racist us whites are a bit pinkish, so in off the blue, Can't say off the Bro*n, or off the Y*llow, God knows how commentators are going to get on at the Crucible.

Eric, you're usually on the ball so I can't believe that you haven't heard that the BBC are discussing with Barry Hearn the adoption of "colour neutral" balls for World Snooker. The likely outcome is grey balls each numbered. The "reds" will all be a pale shade of grey and the grey will get darker as the value of the ball increases. It will ruin snooker as a spectacle but if it keeps BLM happy that's a small price to pay imo.

As rediculous as that sounds there are reports that the moaning of BLM are having a knock on effect in the fruit and veg business

There are plans to replace the word black in blackberries and blackcurrants with the colour purple

Then they realised that the colour purple already had slavery connotations and might cause issues and confusion
