    Mark Selby created history as he became the first player to make a
    maximum 147 break in a World Championship final. :-D

    And more history the next day. The inevitable end has come.
    It was only a matter of time before continental billiards players
    discovered that there is money to be made in snooker.
    (and that those Brits are not good enough at it)

    Another British illusion of superiority shot to hell,
    just like 'Barney' did for darts, long ago,
