A snooker legend and a trailblazer across all cue sports. Very best wishes to Allison in her fight against this horrible disease.

Is there a way of preventing game deletion - accidentally or otherwise?

I recently purchased a Switch 2 for the whole family to use. My youngest child is autistic and struggles with the concept of sharing - to a point when he is playing on the console he deletes games which aren't "his". This is frustrating for everyone else who has to re-download their games when it's their turn to use it.

Can anyone advise if there is a way to either:

a) prevent online game deletion by way of a password lock or some other means?

b) have certain downloaded games only appear on certain profiles?

I've got the parental controls app but struggling to navigate and online instructions are not helping much

Apologies if these are basic questions with basic answers, but this is all new to me!

Who buys items from service station phone shops?

As a long distance driver I frequent a lot of motorway service stations. At almost every one, usually next to the toilets, there is a shop that sells mobile phone accessories and an assortment of other random odds and sods.

They are usually staffed by a single depressed looking bloke and never once can I recall seeing any of these establishments have even a single customer.

What is the purpose of them? Has anyone ever purchased anything from one of these places - and why?

Daisy 🕊️

Daisy passed away today, suddenly and unexpectedly.

To paraphrase an obituary of someone that I read in today’s news: “No words could ever express or begin to describe the crater her absence has left”

To all greyhound owners out there - shower your hound with as much love as humanly possible because one day they won’t be there any more.

Q School #2 final matches

Q School finishes today with four all-or-nothing matches, with each winner earning a two year Tour card.

Yaron Bodor attempts to become the first Israeli to play on Tour (edit - not the first!) while Brian Ochoiski represents France - I'm sure there must have been a French pro before but can't remember, anyone know?

The matches are:

Yaron Bodor v Stuart Carrington
Allan Taylor v Mitchell Mann
Mark Joyce v Andrew Higginson
Gong Chenzhi v Brian Ochoiski

Who does everyone think will come out on top?

Liam Davies is a promising young talent - would be good to see him have another crack at the Tour.

New voices?

With an upcoming movie offering a chance of a tie in, do you think there is any chance that the Minions will be returning to Waze?

My kid was distraught when they were removed from the app a year or two ago!

The UK legs of Q School takes place at the end of this month at the Mattioli in Leicester and it will be exciting to see who comes through.

I'm just down the road so would be good to watch some of this live but am I right in thinking this takes place behind closed doors?

It's being shown on YouTube and WST Play so not all is lost.
