I went to the indie all-dayer instead. Misty's Big Adventure, Zombina & The Skeletones, and Motormark, all for a fiver. Then we went round someone's house and danced to Tatu for a bit. I didn't see any of the darts in the end. It is a right old shame that it had to end that way, though. Down the Lakeside it'd all have been quite different...

William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Monday, 22 November 2004 01:10 (nineteen years ago) link

But it does mean that I must needs get in front of a telly in time for the Lakeside shenanigans, ideally without STUDENTS being anywhere near it...

William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Monday, 22 November 2004 01:34 (nineteen years ago) link

i can't believe the power managed to body slam fordham! this is reminiscent of when Lex Luger slammed Yokozuna.

two months pass...
Tournament here in the Netherlands, ongoing as I type. Current match: Fordham vs. Taylor. Level of playing is high. I think both averages are above 100. The Power won the first two sets (had a chance on a 9-dart finish in the first), the Viking came back strong after a little dip and took the third and fourth, the last game in 11 darts. Third set, Taylor leads 2-1, Andy to throw first.

(tomorrow it's Barney vs. the Power!!)

Now thát was a quick 6th set! Power took the 5th right after I typed the above and swiftly burst through 3 legs for a clean 3-0 set... Still, quite an excellent match.

He looks like he has AIDS

his face lost disproportionally more weight than his arms and legs!

PHIL TAYLOR WITH A LATE AND ENTIRELY WORTHY CANDIDATE FOR QUOTE OF THE YEAR

I mean, even the Bishop of Southwark is under threat from this moment of wonder. Apart from the fact that he thinks a nuclear scientist will also be a ballistics expert, the sheer outrageous bombast of the man is astounding.

Just got offed, Sunday, 30 December 2007 04:53 (sixteen years ago) link

link doesn't work for me, but seeing as it's to the Sun website I'm glad as it saved me a moments revulsion as the wankers masthead appeared on my computer.

Mardle was .....tremendous last night, from throwing junk dart after junk dart and beating himself up about it to holding his nerve on a fair few single chance doubles.

Taylor was pretty garbage in places too. I think Painter will win now, unfortunately, I can't stand him.

Porkpie, Sunday, 30 December 2007 12:27 (sixteen years ago) link

Painter has the kind of face that I can't even look at for too long. I would like Mardle to win, he was great last night once he turned it on, and he's not Painter.

John Part WINS

djmartian, Tuesday, 1 January 2008 22:02 (sixteen years ago) link

Classic Sidism tonight was "he's turning the screw, this is Henry James darts". Crap final, mind.

ailsa, Tuesday, 1 January 2008 23:42 (sixteen years ago) link

i just cried watching ted hankey hit the bull

Anyone watching this year? I'm sort of taking to this weirdly-haired Australian! Power's quarter and semi got boring from mad dominance, and although I suspect Whitlock may fare similarly, I have somewhat higher hopes for him than for Lewis or Webster (mainly based on facial expression).

anatol_merklich, Sunday, 3 January 2010 00:08 (fourteen years ago) link

I want chisnall to win; tuned in last night for his match and turned over dejected when he went 4-1 down, channel surfing 45 mins later and he was throwing for the match! great stuff

another dude (cozwn), Friday, 8 January 2010 14:47 (fourteen years ago) link

he is a man of refreshingly few words and yeah i am supporting him too. down with old ppl

Electric Universe (wherever that is) (acoleuthic), Friday, 8 January 2010 14:54 (fourteen years ago) link

astounding that he won - unbelievable stuff

i felt bad for hankey the hutt though; he is and will probably remain my all-time favorite darts thrower

as a relative neophyte, can someone explain to me why you have to hit a double in order to check out? somebody's got 18 to go, hits the single 9 instead of the double with their second dart - i always wonder why they don't just throw another 9.

Tracer Hand, Friday, 8 January 2010 15:23 (fourteen years ago) link

because it's the rules! i can't expand any more than that. makes it more skillful and fair as well

Electric Universe (wherever that is) (acoleuthic), Friday, 8 January 2010 15:32 (fourteen years ago) link

27 darts and 155 left, reckon I could beat that.

highlight of the tournament so far (other than the chisnall and wagner matches) was bobby george laughing at poor tony fleet after his collapse against adams: "came for a showcase, left with his suitcase."

another dude (cozwn), Friday, 8 January 2010 18:11 (fourteen years ago) link

I did feel sorry for the guy but he was talking himself up something rotten prior to the match

another dude (cozwn), Friday, 8 January 2010 18:11 (fourteen years ago) link

I thought the poor guy was going to fall over.

() |\| | |\/| () (onimo), Friday, 8 January 2010 19:50 (fourteen years ago) link

Chizzy likes his half time cuppa eh? Unbelievable second half once again. I think he won something like 12 out of 13 legs there.

oooh Taylor with a 107 checkout to go 2-0 up

soma dude (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 30 December 2012 22:01 (eleven years ago) link

Barney pulls a set back, here we go

soma dude (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 30 December 2012 22:12 (eleven years ago) link

Fuckin' hell.

useless chamber, Sunday, 30 December 2012 23:13 (eleven years ago) link

5-3 now.

useless chamber, Sunday, 30 December 2012 23:16 (eleven years ago) link

quality match that, only hope the final can live up to it

Hi Fizzles,

Hi Fizzles,

Thank you for your enquiry.

Unfortunately MSC do not release their schedule of entertainment whilst on board prior to sailing. The ship do a daily programme of events the day prior and put this in your cabin the night before but I was aboard for a couple of nights in October and there were a variety of things going on in different areas of the ship to suit a variety of tastes.

The single supplement is 80% of the cabin price component, so depending on which grade of cabin you were interested in, it would vary and I can confirm once I know which grade you would be interested in.

I am currently offering a small discount for a group booking, but please be aware that we have priced this initial cruise very low as this is the first of what we hope to become an annual event.

Really not fond of the score announcers voice.

Drop soap, not bombs (Ste), Sunday, 4 January 2015 22:27 (nine years ago) link

He's not even saying numbers, he's just making noises. Utterly brilliant final though.

ailsa, Sunday, 4 January 2015 23:00 (nine years ago) link

Yeah, glad Anderson won as well.

Drop soap, not bombs (Ste), Sunday, 4 January 2015 23:05 (nine years ago) link

They should play the BDO final first though, cannae stick turning over to watch that pish now.

Only match I've seen has been Barney v MVG. Which wasn't a bad one to start with.

Bump. Cheerio then Taylor, you oafish classless dick. Coldplay fan an' all.

ailsa, Tuesday, 2 January 2018 00:00 (six years ago) link

Lol didn't know that and yes, good riddance.

Never saw a more subdued darts crowd as when Cross won last night

Well bissogled trotters (Michael B), Tuesday, 2 January 2018 08:34 (six years ago) link

Sounds great, I'll have to watch the highlights.

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 2 January 2018 09:06 (six years ago) link

Cross destroyed him!

Well bissogled trotters (Michael B), Tuesday, 2 January 2018 09:30 (six years ago) link

So Taylor was being a bit of a clown in his final defeat? Tried to get a stream but they all sucked. Shame, would have loved to see this nobhead lose one last time

In space, pizza sends out for YOU (Ste), Tuesday, 2 January 2018 11:37 (six years ago) link

really dislike Taylor. always came across as an unpleasant dick, and delighted to hear this even though i haven’t followed the darts properly for a few years.

Fizzles, Tuesday, 2 January 2018 12:11 (six years ago) link

he was always so petty and churlish in defeat as well.

Fizzles, Tuesday, 2 January 2018 12:13 (six years ago) link

And, y'know, a convicted sex offender.

Bimlo Horsewagon became Wheelbarrow Horseflesh (aldo), Tuesday, 2 January 2018 12:41 (six years ago) link
