QUIP of the week at the Barbican this week was by Mark King after his first round win over Alain Robidoux.

The bald Romford cueman takes on hair-flair idol Paul Hunter in the second round starting tomorrow night.

King returned home after his opening match, saying he would do some shopping.

When asked what he thought about his clash with the Leeds glamour boy, King smiled: "I might even buy myself an Alice band."
