been there and yes India is a shithole

I do watch the snooker and find it interesting towards­ the later stages of tournaments but I definitely think­ the powers that be need to spice it up a bit, whatever­ that takes. You must remember, when Terry was playing­ snooker on T.V the Atari 2500 was the best games­ console on the market!!!!

terry theres lots of talk about revamping snooker,heres­ one idea any tourmant that is played you let the top­ sixteen in automatically but you also let anybody who­ has one the tourmanant in ,then your get all players­ the public like,like the jimmy whites.another idea a­ bit complicated no miss rule if the player misses 3­ times he can offer the snooker to the other player and­ he has three goes if he hits the ball he wins that­ game,,, if he accepts ,,,if he he wont then he has to­ accept the fourth go by the player in the snooker hit­ or miss

NEIL W....GENIUS, PURE GENIUS!!

lol I love the comments having a go at Terry about the­ former World, UK and Masters champion being a­ non-entity - I wonder if they see the irony that they­ themselves are nobodies!?

...Good comment re: the mis-management of this country­ by the Lab Con-tricksters. But , who in their right­ minds , would want 2 join the BNP??? What are they­ capable of achieving, apart from being outright­ fascists, and maybe stirring up mass anarchy, given the­ chance......
Terry Griffiths - sounds a good, humble­ man. It would be good 2 C him play the occasional­ exhibition or "friendly" match, with one of­ the younger players perhaps........

My penniworth...I am an educated,worldly,broad-minded­ white 43 year old Englishman. I spent some time in­ India two years ago. I travelled widely, I met many­ local people from across the broad spectrum of Indian­ society. I attempted to immerse myself in Indian­ culture,art,heritage and history. I encountered life as­ a tourist,as a visitor and I sought to discover the­ lives of those I encountered. The transport workers,the­ hotel workers,the shopkeepers,stallholders,the­ wealthy,the beggars.I attempted to explore,discover and­ absorb.
After some time I came to the conclusion that­ India is a shithole.
Whilst travelling one day I spoke­ at length with an intelligent and eloquent­ English-speaking young Finnish lady.
I asked her her­ opinion of India. "It's a shithole" she­ said.
As someone who has worked in the defence industry­ I find it hard to understand how a country can choose­ to spend the incomprehensible sums of money required to­ establish and maintain a nuclear weapons program whilst­ allowing the vast majority of its population to exist­ in a sea of filth, whole families live under tarpaulins­ on unpaved pavements and unwashed women thrust their­ even more unwashed children in the faces of visitors,­ hoping to obtain a few rupees to take back to their­ good-for-nothing husbands. I came to understand why so­ many Indians have sought a better way of life in­ Europe.
But the saddest part of my experience is that­ in the two years since I returned I have actively kept­ my distance from all things Indian. I no longer go to­ Indian restaurants, I no longer visit my favourite­ Indian shops and there are other consequences which I­ am a little ashamed to describe in this forum. Use your­ imagination.
So, in summation, Terry Griffiths is a­ dull Welshman with the integrity to express an honest­ opinion when asked a question.
And India is a shithole.

are these the type of people (sinder90,arvie,vijay) who­ are responsable for turning this world into the pc­ nightmare it is today? terry is entitled to his­ opinion. although you have to question his taste in­ music!!!

and
@#$%

what a load of @#$% good on you terry

Lawrence your intelligence is the same size as your­ balls. I am not condoning any posts that are deemed­ racist before you commented, but your intellect is­ simply astounding. If one or two idiots makes a remark­ about T Griffiths saying not liking India is racist,­ then who has the problem? Let him talk @#$% but it does­ not mean that you reciprocate by lowering the tone even­ more. Do you understand? Or do you just talk @#$% as­ well? I think Arvie, Vijay and Lawrence need to get­ together

If this country is such a "non-entity" why is­ it that so many of your unwanted kind want to come­ here. Of course you should also remember that the­ British people were never asked if your kind were­ required here in this sceptered isle.

These foreign­ ingrates are NOT needed here, there is an alternative­ to the lies and mismanagement of this country by the­ Lib/Lab/Con-trickster...
Vote BNP!!!
Join Us!!!
Visit­ our excellent website...see the truth about us!!!

Love the change of headline.
Bet you now get anti Elvis­ posts.

So, it's racist not to like a place, is it? So­ those of us that can't take the oppressive heat of­ India and have gastro-intestinal problems with the­ fayre are racist then. Thanks for educating me and­ pointing that out. Plank.

@#$% snooker player he was. Made Cliff Thorburn look­ brilliant. Reason he does'nt stand India is the­ welsh don't play cricket, they would run off the­ pitch and 5hag sheep instead

Boring, Boring , Boring man!

What is this world coming to when someone can't­ express his or her dislike for a particular country.­ Grow up !!!

good honest interview,anyone who took offence to this­ should really get a @#$% life .terroody legend and not­ a racist......................freedom of speech,you­ heard of it...............ed from maidenhead

Many sportsmen suffer in other countries. Boycott,­ Botham and others didn't like touring India. The­ country just didn't agree with them.
Doesn't­ make it a racial thing. Some people don't like the­ southern hemisphere.
Some of the soutern hemisphere­ guys hate it in England..too cold.
Why does anything­ like this always get turned into racial prejudice?

Some people are just so bloody sesitive, yes terry said­ he didnt really like india when he visited, so what, u­ have to be a moron to take offence to this, he is­ entitled to his opinion, dosn't make him bad­ person. I have usually had positive experience when­ speaking to indian people but u lot on here give ur­ fellow countrymen a bad name with u need to grow up and­ understand that not everyone can love your country.­ Yahoo should really concentrate on porducing more­ worthwhile stories than this trite, its hardly a worthy­ of a major headline, jsut to sir up a frenzy amongst­ the over sensitve idiots on here.
