The Darts

[chunkymonkey71]

Does anyone else find the darts strangely addictive?

Its full of fat chavs, toothless women, Bobby George... so it really shouldn't work at all.

But I'm glued to it!

Have I become a fat chav???

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon-hundrud-n-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayteeeeeeeee.

Agree. Quite addictive. I find it difficult to say "Bobby George" without doing a Mike Read impersonation.

Didn't have have some retro hits in the late 1970s?

Darts. Snooker. World's strongest man.

Not even guilty pleasures, just pleasures. I know not why

Well the Taylor - Barneveld final should be compelling viewing!

7pm.....

Oh

Not sure why but certainly gets you glued to the box.

(I'm off to move a chest of drawers so I can have a full 7ft 9 1/4 inch access to my dart board.)

Absolutely. I watched it last night and have it on now as well. The king of spectator sports. I've never actually played darts either.

But that resembles something like skill. I'm finding the total amateurishness of the Beeb compelling - from the sub standard darters (??) to the outstandingly awful commentary.

Brilliant TV

Pretty calm about it wasn't he...

Anyone watching BBC now? I think I'm having a moment, I thought I might cry when Greatbatch came on...

Aye, brave bloke.

Apparently along with the usual weightloss, he has lost 4 inches in height due to his treatment!!

Yeah, he played a great game considering. Poor bloke, what a legend. I love the friendship in the professional circuit, that's what makes darts so great!
