		John Virgo (born 3 March 1946, in Salford, Lancashire, England) is an English ex-professional snooker player, commentator, and TV personality.
		This achievement is made all the more incredible as during the 1979 UK Snooker Championship Virgo was controversially docked three frames after an alarm clock failed to go off and Virgo therefore overslept, turning in for the tournament late.
		Virgo, as part of his exhibition performances, had long performed trick shots and comedy impressions of other snooker players.

	Virgo at AllExperts
		Virgo may also feature, along with Ursa Major, and Ursa Minor, as part of the source of the myth of Callisto, either as Callisto herself, or as Hera.
		Persephone (who in some mythologies, notably the Eleusinian Mysteries, was considered to be a form of Demeter) is often mentioned as well, Virgo being visible mainly in the spring months when she was believed to have risen from the underworld.
		Astraea was known as the goddess of justice, and was identified as this constellation due to the presence of the scales of justice Libra nearby, and supposedly ruled the world at one point with her wise ways until mankind became so callous she returned to skies disgusted.

	John Virgo - snooker speaker (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		John Virgo is to snooker what Lee Trevino is to Golf.
		Virgo's ability to amuse and entertain was first exposed to a major audience when his side-splitting impersonations of fellow stars was broadcast on BBC TV during the coverage of the Embassy World Championship.
		However, Virgo became a household name when he brought his skills and colourful personality to the job as co-presenter on the phenomenally successful BBC quiz show 'Big Break' with comedian Jim Davidson.

	Zodiac Signs of Imajin
		Virgo sets high standards, and not always trusting others to apply the same criteria, often prefers to work alone in order to get a thing done "just so".
		Virgo's sign is associated with both work and health; many of the niggling worries that tend to preoccupy them can result in upset stomachs and associated disorders.
		The other quality asssociated with Virgo is a youthful appearance, and provided they don't worry themselves into premature ageing, their looks are often the envy of their peers.

		John Virgo's voice is unmistakeable now from his commentary of the snooker matches at Sheffield's Crucible, and his droll delivery when you speak to him is both thoughtful and funny.
		John said: "In the early days when the game started there were a couple of tournaments but the bread and butter for most of the players was the exhibition circuit.
		John finally joined the professional ranks in 1976 and became UK Champion three years later, beating the likes of Tony Meo, Steve Davis and Dennis Taylor to the title.

	John Lennon
		John gave her the data that he used for himself--October 9, 1940 at 7:14 a.m.
		Using the date that John's mother was killed in a hit-and-run auto-pedestrian accident, July 15, 1958 at 9:40 pm GMD in Liverpool, I was able to rectify the time to 7:18 a.m.
		I never got the sense that John Lennon was a happy or even content man, and while his musical influence was immense he never really achieved peace in his personal life, except perhaps in the last few years of his life.

	John Kennedy Jr. and the Planets
		John's Chiron so tightly conjunct to his Moon made him - in all areas of his life, not just work and health - conflicted about detaching, not sure if he was doing the right thing most of the time.
		I think that John's good looks carried much of his public speaking ability, and that he was generally uncomfortable in situtations where he had to address the public.
		John must have had to work on overcoming Carolyn's resistence to flying with him, something she had never done until this flight, and must have done some serious convincing in order for her to want to bring her sister.
