Spoilers For Monday November 29th 2010
Welcome to the start of what could be the week in which the finals are decided.
Having said that, there seems to be something overriding me at the start of this week. And that's the colour of white. (I know you artists will tell me that white is "absence of colour" (or is it black ), but hey-ho. )
I'm probably thinking of white, because of 4 things:
1. The snow.
2. The "presumably" white wedding of the new Mr. & Mrs. Sfyris.
3. The Mighty Terriers' FA Cup 3rd round tie against the team from the White Cliffs.
4. The possible whiteout of all the rest of the competition of this series as previously mentioned.
As you are probably aware, Greg Hayhurst is the current champion with 2 wins, so if he loses today, only the challenger would have enough time to become an octochamp in time for the finals, beginning in just 10 days time.
Back in DC for his 2nd stint after a brilliant first spell in April, is former newsreader, John Suchet.
Ryan will be recapping later.

Today's winner, whether it's Greg or the challenger, has still time to become an octochamp and even the number one seed, by the time that the prelims are over.James Robinson wrote:As you are probably aware, Greg Hayhurst is the current champion with 2 wins, so if he loses today, all the octochamps will remain as the #1-6 seeds for the finals, beginning in just 10 days time.
And white is certainly affecting me too today - first time in my life, I think, that I've cancelled a trip away due to weather conditions. So it's home this week instead of a few days in the Lake District.

Isn't black supposed to be the absence of colour, and oppositely, white is the complete spectrum of all colour combined?James Robinson wrote:I know you artists will tell me that white is "absence of colour", but hey-ho.

As you can tell, Matt, my art is pretty much as rubbish as just about anything I do.Matt Morrison wrote:Isn't black supposed to be the absence of colour, and oppositely, white is the complete spectrum of all colour combined?James Robinson wrote:I know you artists will tell me that white is "absence of colour", but hey-ho.

I seem to remember from being told when in primary school that there are two ways of looking it at.Matt Morrison wrote:Isn't black supposed to be the absence of colour, and oppositely, white is the complete spectrum of all colour combined?James Robinson wrote:I know you artists will tell me that white is "absence of colour", but hey-ho.
If it's illumination, then as Matt says, black is absence of colour, and white is all colours combined.
It it's painting, then white is absence of colour, and black is what you get if you mix up all the paints.
As we were in primary school, it's the latter which we all tried out in practice, and got as black as we could.

Black is the absence of light but colour is a more vague term and I would call black and white colours.

As snooker fans know, black is a colour, and white isn't

I thought Greg got into his stride today. His granny will be proud.
Also... the team in black AND white got a great battling draw against Chelsea yesterday.

Colours are creations of the mind - pigments of the imagination you could say.
