THE Chinese value ‘jen’ can be roughly translated into English as ‘benevolence’.
Let’s hope that Eastleigh’s Jen is blessed with the same virtue.
To spare anybody’s blushes, the unnamed but newly-crowned Southampton & District Social Clubs League’s snooker pairs champions were interviewed minutes after Thursday’s final at Shirley & Millbrook Conservative Club.
It’s well known in the local snooker circle the one has been dating the other’s sister, Jen, for some considerable time. And now it emerged they are buying a house together.
Sensing a nice romantic angle to the story, the Echo’s snooker writer asked if there was any news of a ring yet.
“I might give her a phone call later,” he replied.
