    We used to play it at secondary school, great way to pass a lunchtime. Some knack in stroking the balls just right to get your end.

    I always give it a 20 minute watch when I flick across it.
    The crowd there must have been children when Jesus was crucified.

    The UK Open is sponsored by the Co-OP Funeral Service. They know their target audience.

    I often wasted hours as a student watching this. I may well have been wasted at the same time.

    If I start watching I get glued as well.
    I think it may be the suspense of the slow moving Bowl,though I'm sorry to say I find those straight Bowls slightly exciting.
