Ronnie on a boat

O'SULLIVAN 'LIVING ON A BOAT'

According to the Daily Mirror, Ronnie O'Sullivan has been living on a houseboat for the last week.

He told the newspaper: "In Sheffield during the World Championship I was staying near a marina and decided to get one. I spent a week sussing it all out, and even went down to Chelsea. The one I have got is like a floating apartment.

"I love it. I have had it a week, and not been home. It's very calming, and they are relatively cheap. I can chill, sit outside, watch the football and I'm out of the traffic which I can't stand.

"Being on the water appeals to me, and a bit of privacy and being away from the rat-race.

"Also it is the basic living aspect of it. I have a car but I have got rid of a lot of the luxuries I had. I have gone back to basics.

"I've probably gone off my head, haven't I? I have still got my house, and now the boat, and the kids can come and stay with me.

"I am a single parent now, and the kids are my main focus."
