Talking Balls: Snooker Vs. MMA, Guangzhou Get Lippi & Swamp Soccer Dating
Submitted on May 18, 2012 8:00pmIt's been pretty quiet in the sports world but not for tubby potter Ding Junhui. He's been keeping busy now he's away from the green baize and back in China. He's been trying to lose a few pounds by training with Zhang "The Mongolian Wolf" Tiequan. Ding looks fitter for it, as you can see in this video here. The video is apparently so tough that it won't be embedded, which makes it twice as tough as that prettyboy Chuck Norris.

the Beijinger – May 2012: Beijing's Oddest Buildings
Beijing's a city that has grown up a lot in the last couple of decades. The skyline is now festooned with buildings that beggar belief and defy description. This month, we're taking a long hard look at the structures that experts have deemed the city's ugliest. Some we're glad to defend, others we're happy to deride. Now you get to make up your own mind.
Elsewhere in the issue, we go from examining odd constructions to the most ecologically virtuous ones, we tag along at Beijing's graffiti scene and we pit the city's best (and worst) beefs jerky hoof-to-hoof. We also play volleyball with SALT's Gaby Alves, try our hand at sewing school and find out all about how Beijing will mark International Day Against Homophobia.
The rest of the pages are packed with what you'd expect: all the content that matters. The best interviews, the events that count, all of the new bars, restaurants and shops, plus more prizes than you could stack into a tower.
