Glam swimmer, 20, who was banished from Olympics gets bizarre offer to sell replicas of her FEET from sex doll company

OLYMPIC athlete Luana Alonso has been offered the chance to sell replicas of her feet from a sex doll company after crossing over to OnlyFans.

Luana, 20, competed at this summer’s Paris Olympics before being kicked out of the athlete’s village for “creating an inappropriate atmosphere”.

The Paraguayan’s exit from the Games was then followed by her retirement from competitive swimming.

That led to her launching her own OnlyFans page, providing fans with exclusive content on the site for $35 (£27) per month.

According to TMZ, Luana’s new career move has led to popular sex doll company RealDoll sending her a letter asking to team up.

The company is offering the former athlete the chance to sell copies of her feet, which would cost $2,000 (£1,537) each or $3,500 (£2,690) for the full set.

Luana would get 20 per cent of the sales and the offer would include an option for her to autograph the fake feet for an additional $500 (£384), which she would pocket in full.

The letter read: “At RealDoll, we pride ourselves on offering our clients unique, customized and life-like creations that help them connect with their fans in a truly personal way.

“With your growing success, we believe there is an exciting opportunity for us to collaborate.

“We would like to offer you the chance to mold your feet into a life-like, high-quality material, which we would then make available for sale to your fans.

“Now, while you may not have an Olympic medal hanging around your neck, I think we can all agree those feet of yours deserve a podium of their own!

“They’ve got that rare combination of grace, strength and undeniable cuteness — talk about feet that know how to make a splash.

“It’s time we mold them into a masterpiece your fans can cherish, one toe at a time.”

‘I’m the last person Liam Payne sang to’: Heartbroken fan describes meeting her idol just hours before his tragic fall

A ONE Direction fan claims to be one of the last people to see Liam Payne alive before his tragic hotel balcony fall.

The singer died after suffering multiple injuries following a plunge from a balcony at the Casa Sur hotel in Buenos Aires.

Emergency services rushed to the scene but the 31-year-old was pronounced dead.

A woman shared an emotional video on TikTok claiming she was one of the last people to see him alive.

The TikToker named Carola Gauna, appears in tears before a photo of her with Liam shows up.

She writes in the caption: “I was one of the last people to speak with Liam Payne.

“(I took this photo hours before his death).

“I’m making this video with a broken heart, I can’t believe it “

” He smiled at me and sang. I got goosebumps .”

The Tiktoker continued by saying the ex-One Direction star appeared intoxicated.

“I thought he was kind of joking; I’m one of the last people he talked to. The ones he sang to.



” I went from having the happiest day of my life to one of the saddest .”

“Understand that I still have his perfume on me. It seems crazy to me.

“I know he was famous and that he didn’t even care about me, but today I had a nice moment with him. How unfair!”

Crowds of fans gathered outside the hotel to pay their respects as news of the singer’s death spread.

They held candlelit vigils with many leaving flowers and hand-written messages fixed to a tree.

Emergency services said Liam died instantly from multiple injuries including a fractured skull.

Chief Alberto Crescenti said: “The alarm was raised at 5.04pm local time saying a person was lying in an internal patio at Casa Sur.

 “Our role was to head there quickly, give medical attention, and try to resuscitate him, but his injuries were incompatible with life.

“Based on what the team saw, there was apparently a cranial fracture and extremely serious injuries that led to his immediate death.”

Cops said they were called to the hotel on Wednesday after staff reported an “aggressive man who could be under the influence of drugs or alcohol”.

The head of reception made two calls, telling a 911 operator in the first: “We have a guest who is destroying everything in his room. We need someone to come.”

He phoned back after the line went dead, repeating his request and claiming: “We need you to send someone urgently because I don’t know if the guest’s life is in danger.

Hotel manager's call to 911

911 operator: “What is happening sir?”

Hotel manager: “We have a guest drunk with drugs and alcohol. When he [them, gender not clear in conversation] is conscious, he is breaking everything in the room.”

911 operator: “You said alcohol and drugs…”

Hotel manager: “This is correct.”

911 operator: “You said Costa Rica intersecting where?”

Hotel manager: “Costa Rica 6032.”

911 operator: “Repeat.”

Hotel manager: “Costa Rica 6032.”

911 operator: “What is the hotel called?”

Hotel manager: “Caza Azul Palermo. We need to send someone with urgency because I don’t know if the guest’s life is in danger because he is in a room with balcony, and we are afraid he could do something that threatens life.”

911 operator: “How long has he been there? Is it a long-stay hotel?”

Hotel manager: “(The guest) has been for the past three days.”

911 operator: “You don’t any other information because you can’t get in. Right?”

Hotel manager: “No.”

911 operator: “We are also notifying SAME (Medical Emergency Attention Service).”

Hotel manager: “We are asking to send someone with urgency because…”

911 operator: “We are doing that. Any other data to give me. Who are you?”

Hotel manager: “I’m the desk manager.”

911 operator: “Person in charge of the place.”

Hotel manager – “Yes.”

911 operator: “It has been notified. What is your name, sir?”

Hotel manager: “Esteban.”

911 operator: “Thanks for calling. Be online.”

Hotel manager: “Are you sending police too.”

911 operator: “Police from the delegation… Let me confirm.”

Hotel manager: “No, no, only SAME, only SAME (Medical Emergency Attention Service).”

911 operator: “Don’t worry because they have already been notified.”

Hotel manager: “Because as you said he is under the influence of alcohol and drugs, SAME personnel can’t enter alone.”

911 operator: “You can ask that to the police, but if SAME needs them, they will notify you.”

Hotel manager: “Good, OK, perfect.”

911 operator: “Have a good day.”

Hotel manager: “Thanks, you too.”

“They must be in a room that has a balcony. And well, we’re a little bit worried he’ll do something, that he’ll put his life at risk.”

Witnesses said the former One Direction star was “behaving erratically” and was even carried back to his hotel room before his death.

A haunting photo – purportedly his last one- shows the singer going back to the Hotel CasaSur.

Cops found Liam dead in the hotel’s inner courtyard at around 5pm local time (9pm UK time) when they arrived.

A post-mortem is expected to be carried out later today in Buenos Aires.

The singer was in Buenos Aires for pal and former One Direction bandmate Niall Horan’s tour.

Liam had shared a post on Snapchat only minutes before his death showing himself with his girlfriend Kate Cassidy looking into a mirror.

Tributes have poured in for the singer with celebrities and fans alike sharing their heartbreak.

Harry Styles’ mum shared a heartbreaking tribute on Instagram writing in the caption: “Just a boy…”.

And Liam’s ex-fiancée Maya Henry was ” in shock” in the wake of the tragic news.

Just two days before Liam’s tragic fall, Maya made comments on a podcast claiming the star “predicted his early death.”

Liam had posted earlier in the day talking about riding horses, playing polo, and looking forward to returning home to see his dog.

He wrote: “It’s a lovely day here in Argentina.”

Kate had also shared a post of Liam just before his death riding a horse with her in the countryside.

The star had arrived in Argentina on September 30 with his girlfriend and was seen at Niall’s show dancing and meeting fans on October 2.

Footage shows Liam at Niall’s concert just days before he died.

He is survived by his son Bear, 7, his parents, Geoff and Karen Payne, and his two older sisters, Ruth and Nicola.

Back in August, the 31-year-old singer shared a rare insight into his private life posting a video of his son Bear saying he was his “mini-me.”

I was dress-coded by Paula in HR -she said I ‘beg for attention’ with ‘distracting’ dresses, but I can’t see a problem

A WOMAN has revealed that she has been slammed by a woman in the HR department at her office, for her “distracting” outfits.

The woman revealed that she had received an email from a woman named Paula, in HR about the outfits she wears to the office.

“Apparently, it’s inappropriate, but I don’t think it’s too bad”, she said.

The woman then stepped back to reveal the dress in question, a very tight, bodycon mini dress, which barely covered her bum.

She then went to chat to her colleague Matt, to ask him what he thought of the outfit.

“I think it’s appropriate work attire”, Matt said.

The next day, the woman went in for her meeting with Paula, wearing a short wrap dress, with a low cut top.

“It is low cut, but who cares?”, she said.

During the meeting, Paula said that she was disappointed with the outfit the woman had chosen, and described it as being “distracting”.

Paula added that other members of staff had made comments on the woman’s outfits, suggesting she was “begging for attention”.

“I don’t think that’s my fault if I’m distracting other members of staff”, she said.

Paula then asked if the woman was going to change her outfits, and she replied stating that she would go shopping at the weekend.

The TikTok, which was reposted by the @ultimatebykomi account page, has garnered a lot of attention, racking up over 3.9 million views on the video sharing platform.

TikTok users raced to the video’s comments sections to share their thoughts, with many taking Paula’s side.

One person said: “I was soo ready to be on your side and then you stepped back from the camera.”

Five workwear essentials

By Clemmie Fieldsend

Fabulous Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shared the five workwear essentials everyone should have.

1. WHITE SHIRT 

A good white shirt is so versatile. Great for wearing on their own or layering underneath knits and transforming plain jumpers by adding cuff and collar detail, as well as wearing open over plain tops. 

2. WIDE LEG TROUSERS

They’ve become a wardrobe staple over recent years as they are comfortable, flattering and will elevate your workwear. Look out for styles with pleating or darting. 

3. PRACTICAL TOTE 

for a day at work or on your commute you’ll need all your essentials with you, cram them all into a sleek and stylish tote bag in a neutral colour like black, brown or beige so it can be used with all of your outfits. 

4. TAILORED BLAZER 

Even if worn with torn jeans a tailored blazer will instantly make you look polished and smart for work. Black will be the most useful and look for silhouettes with structure. 

5. SIMPLE LOAFER 

Whether you like delicate or chunky, a flat and comfortable shoe is essential for everyday use and can look just as dressy as a heel.  

A second person said: “Are you being serious? That’s way too short for work.”

A third person said: “As an HR professional, I agree. It is not office attire. Super cute, but not for work.”

However, others rushed to the defence of the woman.

One person said: “It is their problem if they are getting distracted.”

Another person said: “Why does work attire even exist?

“If it’s not customer facing, who cares?”

Sainsbury’s introduces new self-service checkout rule at store as customers threaten to boycott

SAINSBURY’S has provoked customer backlash after making a major change at one of its stores.

One of the UK’s biggest retailers has added more self-service checkouts at its branch in Chippenham, Wiltshire.

Sainsbury’s has sparked a backlash after making a major change at one of its stores[/caption]

A spokesperson for the supermarket chain said it had made the change to meet “customer demand”.

But some customers on Facebook have been left fuming, saying the move has made the manned tills backlogged.

Some have gone as far to say they won’t shop at the branch again.

One said: “It’s awful. I went there the other day for a big shop, the queues were down the aisles for the manned tills so we were forced to use the new trolley self scanner.”

Another added: “I went yesterday there is no room at the self scanners especially if everyone has trolleys, think they will lose a lot of customers.”

A third chimed in: “I get why they’re doing it – I was told people walked out with £4K of shopping a few weeks ago but it’s now a very annoying and poor experience going there

“I will not use the self-checkouts – I prefer dealing with people not machines.”

Meanwhile, a fourth commented: “I won’t use the self checkout, I expect human service when (I am) spending my hard earned money in their stores and if they won’t serve me I am happy to leave my trolley and go somewhere else.”

A Sainsbury’s spokesperson said: “We regularly review the services available in our stores to make sure we offer the most convenient experience for our customers.  

“We have slightly increased the number of self-service checkouts at our Chippenham store so that we can meet customer demand for this service.

“Our colleagues are on hand to help anyone who may need support using them and we continue to offer serviced checkouts for our customers who wish to use them.”

Sainsbury’s is not the first supermarket to have made a change to self-checkout rules in recent months to customer frustration.

Asda introduced “self-checkout only hours” at one of its branches earlier this year, restricting customers to automated tills only at certain times of the day.

Signs in the Bournemouth store showed customers that from 7am to 8am Monday to Saturday, customers can use just self-scan checkouts.

From 8pm to 11pm on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and from 7pm to 11pm on Wednesday, all manned tills are closed.

Asda told The Sun the move was a “temporary decision” made during quieter shopping hours and not a company-wide policy.

However, the supermarket chain, also said earlier this year that it will put more staff on tills in a bid to get more shoppers back in stores.

Over the past decade, supermarket bosses have invested in self-scanning tills to fasten up the paying process.

But the move to automated tills has seen some shoppers left feeling left behind and dissatisfied.

Some supermarkets, like Asda, have rowed back on plans to increase the number of self-scan checkouts in stores though.

In August, Rami Baitiéh, the chief executive of Morrisons, announced the supermarket would scale back the number of self-checkouts in stores.

In an interview with The Telegraph, Baitiéh said the company was “reviewing the balance between self-checkouts and manned tills”.

High-end supermarket chain Booths, based in the North of England, abandoned the technology after discovering customers had a more enjoyable experience when interacting with a cashier.

This move aligns with data previously published by The Grocer which reveals service satisfaction has declined by as much as 8% due to the use of self-checkout machines.

If you want to avoid self-checkouts in your local supermarket or retailer branch, you could try scan-as-you-go tech.

They let you scan as you browse, either using their smartphone or a handheld device then checkout in a different area from other shoppers.

You often can bag your groceries as you wander around too, saving even more time.

How to save on your supermarket shop

THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.

You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they’ve been reduced.

If the food is fresh, you’ll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.

Making a list should also save you money, as you’ll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.

Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.

This means ditching “finest” or “luxury” products and instead going for “own” or value” type of lines.

Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they’re misshapen or imperfect.

For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.

If you’re on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.

Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.

Watch the moment David Walliams rages at The Wheel contestant after brutal swipe about fitness

DAVID Walliams gave a contestant on The Wheel a piece of his mind after a brutal snub.

The former Britain’s Got Talent judge, 53, joined other famous faces as a guest expert on the hit BBC One show.

David joins the likes of Dermot O’Leary, Angela Scanlon and Dion Dublin in the episode[/caption]

The comedian showed off his trademark humour after being left out of a round.

A contestant named Varshi selected Fitness as the next category to attempt.

As per the show’s rules, Varshi needed to “shut down” the celeb deemed least qualified to help.

Host Michael McIntyre joked: “You’re looking for the least fit person here. Who’s never been to a gym?”

Varshi ultimately opted for David, although he was quick with a tongue-in-cheek response.

Acting mock offended, the comedian joked: “Can I just remind you, I swam the Channel and the Thames.

“I won a Sports Personality of the Year Award.

“You know what, I don’t even have an opinion about fitness. I hope you fail at university.”

Although David was “shut down” from the round, he wasn’t alone.

Dermot O’Leary was also in the red after answering the previous question incorrectly.

The Wheel – now in its fifth series – sees celebs and civilians come together to try and win a cash jackpot.

Contestants are guided by famous faces in a certain topic area in order to successfully answer questions and walk away with a tidy sum of money.

It comes as Robbie Williams gatecrashed the show’s latest series – leaving host Michael stunned.

The Let Me Entertain You Singer, 50, surprised wife Ayda Field, who was one of the episode’s experts.

David Walliams career so far

By Conor O’Brien

Comedian, actor and writer David Walliams has enjoyed a varied career spanning almost three decades.

The star (who was born David Williams) has found success across a wide range of formats.

Here is a look back at some of his biggest career moments.

  • Little Britain: David co-created this fan favourite sketch comedy series alongside Matt Lucas. Originating on the radio, the series aired on BBC Three (then BBC One) between 2003 and 2006. David and Matt also played many characters between them as well as writing the show.
  • Charity work: In July 2006, David swam the English Channel for Sport Relief – it took him 10 hours and 34 minutes to swim the 22 mile stretch. David raised over £1million in donations. Five years later, he swam the length of the River Thames to raise more than £2million for Sport Relief. In March 2010, he took part in an end-to-end cycle journey across the UK for Sport Relief. This raised over £1million.
  • Britain’s Got Talent: David joined the judging panel of the popular ITV show in 2012. He appeared alongside Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon – the latter joining BGT at the same time. After a decade, he left the programme and was replaced by Bruno Tonioli.
  • Children’s novels: Aside from on-camera work, the star has a very successful career writing books for children. Some of his titles include The Boy in the Dress, Mr Stink and Gangsta Granny. Altogether, eight of David’s books have been adapted for TV movies on BBC One.

Arriving in dramatic fashion, the former Take That star emerged from the depths of the studio floor.

Jokingly introducing himself, Robbie said: “I’m Robbie, I’m 50 and I’m from Stoke-On-Trent.

“I’m aquarius and I auditioned for a pop band and I got in and they were called Take That.”

Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel airs on BBC One and is available on iPlayer.

When is Black Friday 2024?

Black Friday is on November 29 this year, the day after Thanksgiving in America.

Retailers tend to start their sales earlier than the sales weekend though, so expect to see some of the best Black Friday deals from many stores from the start of November.

To find out more about the event’s origins, read our Black Friday explainer.

Is Huel taking part in Black Friday this year?

In previous years, Huel didn’t offer as many Black Friday deals as other brands.

However, you could still find discounts via stockists like Holland & Barrett and Amazon, so it’s definitely worth a look once again this year.

We’ll be bringing you all the latest news for the Huel Black Friday deals as they come in, so bookmark this page for all the latest updates.

What to expect from Huel’s Black Friday sale 2024

While Huel has not yet confirmed whether it will participate in Black Friday, based on previous years we are likely to see discounts on its products from other retailers and stockists.

To ensure you don’t miss out, keep an eye on the official Huel website, subscribe to the newsletter (scroll to the bottom of the page), and follow on social media for any early announcements and exclusive offers.

It’s also worth keeping an eye on the Black Friday sales of retailers including Amazon, Holland & Barrett, Superdrug and Ocado, which all stock Huel products.

What was in Huel’s sale last year?

Though Huel deals can be pretty hard to come by we found a few price cuts online last year.

Holland & Barrett had a number of Huel products in its Black Friday sale in 2023 and has previously offered additional discounts such as an extra 10% off on purchases over £20, and 15% off purchases over £30.

Here are some of last year’s Black Friday sale picks:

  • Save 50% off Huel clothing with the code Wear50 at Huel – shop here

When is Cyber Monday 2024 and is Huel taking part?

Cyber Monday follows Black Friday, so it falls on 2 December this year.

It’s nominally an online shopping event but, at this point, there’s not a huge difference between Cyber Monday and Black Friday: most retailers that have a Black Friday sale tend to just roll their discounts over to Monday.

If Huel has any special discounts for Black Friday, we’d guess they’ll also be available on Cyber Monday.

How much does Huel’s shipping cost?

Delivery is free for all Huel orders over £45 to UK mainland – and if placed before 8pm, will be delivered within the next two working days.

For orders under £45, there’s a delivery fee of £4.99. See the Huel delivery page for more information.

Does Huel offer any other discounts?

Yes! Huel offers customers various ways to save money. You can get 10% off all products if you sign up for a subscription when placing your order (this can be edited and cancelled anytime, with no fees).

‘She woke up & remembered she was a Victoria’s Secret Angel’ people cry seeing Adriana Lima’s transformation in one year

ADRIANA Lima made jaws drop as she made her return to the Victoria’s Secret fashion show this week, after coming out of a six-year retirement.

The Brazilian beauty, 43, shocked fans with her chiselled features as she wowed in a red baby doll dress and wings on Tuesday.

The model came out of retirement to “prove she still has it” and “send a message to the haters” following trolls’ comments at a Hunger Games premiere last year

A source told DailyMail.com: “Adriana has had to be committed to other things in life.

“But she missed doing the job she has loved forever.

“She wants to prove that she still has it. The criticism she got over her face was staggering and she wants to send a message to the haters with this comeback.”

Cruel comments

Last November, Adriana lashed out at speculation she’s had surgery, claiming she’s a “tired mum of five.”

Adriana shares daughters Valentina, 14, Sienna, 12, with her ex-partner Marko Jaric, and has son Cyan, two, with boyfriend Andre Lemmers. 

Following the Victoria’s Secret runway show this week, one fan wrote: “she woke up and remembered she was a victoria secret angel.”

However, others defended her in 2023 saying: “She was pregnant.”

Trolling comments

The catwalk queen – who once left boxing champ Tyson Fury starstruck – clapped back after being photographed on the red carpet last year.

Adriana donned a black mini-dress and pointed heels for the swanky Los Angeles event for the latest Hunger Games movie, The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes.

Yet talk turned from her frock to her appearance, with some fans quizzing “what has she done to her face?”

One Instagram troll was quick to comment: “What did you do to your gorgeous face? It looks different?”

Another speculated: “She did something to her face, Botox, Fillers. She’s not the same.”

A third then put: “Our beauty was god given! I pray these were just fillers and they will dissolve…

“You’re still the most beautiful but it breaks my heart.”

Adriana hits back

Not willing to let the trolling lie, Adriana hit back on her page.

She posted a completely make-up free snap of her face and wrote: “The face of a tired mom of one teenage girl, two preteens, a one-year-old learning to walk, and three dogs.

“Thanks for your concern.”

The lingerie model previously told how she wants people to “look beyond” her appearance.

The supermodel has made millions from her incredible figure, but after embarking on a new spiritual lifestyle, she wants people to appreciate her mind, rather than her looks.

She posted a photo of The Art Of Living founder and guru Sri Sri Ravi Shanka speaking onstage to her Instagram page.

Alongside, the Brazilian wrote: “My thoughts after his teaching ‘I want people to look at me beyond my face/body as Sri Sri says a mind has no face and body, and with that said you become closer to reality and the truth.'”

Adriana joined the VS brand in 1999 and “earned her wings” the following year becoming a VS Angel.

She was the longest-running model for the brand, with her even dubbed “the most valuable Victoria’s Secret Angel” in 2017.

She shocked fans after announcing her retirement in November 2018 after nearly two decades.

VS show return

This year’s show saw Adriana return alongside numerous high profile models.

Gigi Hadid, Kate Moss, and curve sensation Ashley Graham all took to the runway in New York City as they showcased some new must-haves from the sexy brand.

Not only were the likes of Gigi and Kate in attendance and storming the catwalk in lace lingerie, but iconic model Tyra Banks returned to the VS runway for the first time in 19 years.

Gigi could be seen rocking a sexy nightwear look which featured a babydoll chemise and some flippy shorts, both in a baby pink hue.

The model wore some gigantic pink feathery wings on her back, which she clutched onto like a backpack as she posed up a storm down the runway.

Kate Moss kept it a little more modest, with the iconic model rocking some lace lingerie underneath a lace dress.

‘Snooker is boring,’ says world No 21 as he proposes changes and demands end to ‘worst rule I’ve ever seen’

SNOOKER star David Gilbert has labelled the sport “boring” and suggested two ways of making it more interesting.

The Englishman, 43, reached the semi-final of the world championships this year before losing to eventual winner Kyren Wilson.

Yet despite finding some of the best form of his career, the world No21 has still taken aim at snooker‘s format.

One suggestion The Farmer has for making it a more attractive sport is to shorten the number of frames required to win matches.

Speaking on the Talking Snooker podcast, he said: “I think best of 11 is the bang on format for any match. I don’t think we need to play any more than that. I like the short formats because snooker’s boring!

“You can’t change the world championship, never, but I’d change the qualifying back to best of 11. No one needs to play best of 19, I prefer it as a best of 11.

‘I can’t believe that some of these people want to play best of 19s. The world championship [qualifying] changed to best of 11, there was a lot of screaming and moaning but for me it was far better.

“I wouldn’t want to be a ref for hardly any of them matches of best of 19, I feel sorry for them.”

Gilbert also criticised the “miss rule” which sees players penalised for failing to hit a ball.

He feels this is an outdated punishment as players are now willing to miss in order to ensure they make the perfect shot.

Instead, he wants a missed shot to result in the opposition player receiving the ball in hand.

Gilbert added: “The miss rule is the worst rule I’ve ever seen! When there’s 14 reds on the table and you’re playing someone like Mark Selby, an incredible player, if you say, ‘Mark, here’s £10,000 to hit a red,’ then he’ll hit a red.

“Snookering somebody now is almost pointless because they’re basically trying to miss the ball for three or four goes. A foul is not enough to try and encourage somebody to hit the balls.

“They’re trying to get the thin edge, flick it safe. I do it, I get it, you use the rule to your advantage, but there’s no point to a snooker anymore.

“It takes forever to put the balls back, it slows the game up. If you just made it foul, ball-in-hand, bang, people will hit the ball.

“And if they don’t then the geezer who played a good shot to get a snooker has a reward. The amount of times there is zero reward…

“I hate the miss rule, so I’d definitely change that.”
