Sing along:

Goody two, Goody two, Goody Goody two shoes
Goody two, Goody two, Goody Goody two shoes
Don't drink, don't smoke - what do you do?
Don't drink, don't smoke - what do you do?
Subtle innuendos follow
There must be something inside...

We don't follow fashion
That would be a joke
You know we're going to set them set them
So everyone can take note take note

In these Recession Ravaged times, last seen in the 1980's Adam Ant and I reckon snooker and darts are going to be the next sponsorship fashion.  After all, having lost their Drink and Smoking sponsors, what are they going to do?

Well, I'd suggest they set their own fashion, and consider talking to brands like mine.   I remember watching Dennis Taylor beat Steve Davis in 1985, along with 18 million others, and can even remember the theme tune to Pot Black, the ragtime classic Black & White Rag composed by George Botsford.

With Virgin's new 80's themed TV ad far and away the classiest ad on TV (even though Virgin Atlantic have been a nightmare to deal with regarding booking tickets for a US flight later this week) and the country facing down a double barrelled recession, I reckon it's time that Snooker made a long overdue comeback.

Carbon fibre snooker cues, timed 'pressure' matches and as has been suggested in The Times today, an overhaul of the Look of the game, so it gets 'The Look'.

There's a huge audience out there in Middle England waiting to be reconnected with Snooker, Darts is already on the Oche and reinventing itself.

Maybe someone from World Snooker will get in touch with me - who knows what an alignment with a cool young brand like King of Shaves and Azor could do...
