Fair enough, but what do you do to pass the time _during_ Snooker
being shown on TV?
I can still remember the point in my first trip to the UK when I
accidentally stumbled across darts on TV. Given the endless variety

can't really explain why I was so baffled and amused by darts on TV --
but I was.
