The Grinder
Who's Tom & Dick
04/26/24 • 30 min
Well today is a very special day as we welcome our second celebrity guest World Champion Snooker Player Cliff Thorburn
Patrick and Martin have a great informal chat to Cliff who now lives back in Canada.
Clifford Charles Devlin Thorburn (born 16 January 1948) is a Canadian retired professional Snooker player, Nicknamed "The Grinder" because of his slow, determined style of play.
Cliff won the World Snooker Championship in 1980 defeating Alex Higgins 18–16 in the final.
He is generally recognised as the sport's first world champion from outside the United Kingdom and he remains the only world champion from the Americas. He was runner-up in two other world championships, losing 21–25 to John Spencer in the 1977 final and 6–18 to Steve Davis in the 1983 final.
At the 1983 tournament, Thorburn became the first player to make a maximum break of 147 in a World Championship match, achieving the feat in his second-round encounter with Terry Griffiths.
Ranked World Number one during the 1981 - 1982 season, Thorburn was the first non-British player to top the snooker world rankings. He won the Invitational Masters in 1983, 1985, and 1986, making him the first player to win the tournament three times and the first to retain the title.
Chris retired from the main professional tour in 1996. Inducted into Canada's Sporting Hall of Fame in 2001 and the Snooker Hall of Fame in 2014, he competed later in his career in Snooker Legends events and on the World Series tour, winning the 2018 Seniors Masters at the Crucible Theatre at age 70. He retired from competitive snooker after the 2022 seniors.

We are taking a break from guests this week as Martin and Patrick take a breather.
It's time for a little "mates taking" this we as Martin and Patrick take us through their lives meeting up for show business for the first time.
The journey is quite a long one trying to keep down normal jobs whilst on the cusp of breaking into show business professionally.
We discuss our first meeting, how amateur entertainer Martin is suddenly thrust onto the big stage of a 1,500 seater theatre, and how that journey takes us up and down the Country to and from different theatres and TV studios.
Our talent competitions, TV appearances, our experiences with the stars and a few awkward situations.
This is a brief look at Chapter One "Martin & Patrick" and how we got to today the Podcast, where are we going that chapter is still waiting to be written.
Next week Podcast an interview with Joe Pasquale.

Who's Tom & Dick
11/24/23 • 29 min
It's a bright and cheerful Podcast today thank you for joining us.
Martin is full of beans today as he describes his recent visit to the hospital and discusses the results from a recent scan on his Stage 4 Lung Cancer. It is always a fearful time for any patient to visit the Oncologist to receive results but this time there is some good news.
Martin also goes on to discuss "Lung Drains" and his experience in detail, including fitting, management, fluid draining, and ongoing management.
We have some very interesting and unusual questions from our listeners this week and we try our best to answer all of these.
The TV show "I'm a Celebrity Get Me out of Here" has started and we discuss two of the Z list of celebrities.
Don't miss "Martins Joke of the Week"
We pay a little tribute to King Charles's 75th Birthday. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's invite was apparently snubbed by the pair.
A brief introduction to next week's exciting guests.
