HID had never heard that tune before, I don't think she wants to hear it again. Still, Big John showed a lot of bottle to win. Was a good afternoon. The later rounds should be fun.

Half our household were having a bit of a sing-along and dance-along when he came out also, the other half took more of an Auld Yin type position on the proceedings. What tune would you come out to? Down Down? ;)

Lost the last set. In fact Smith played like a bit of a nutter, throwing darts away and going for really odd finishes but still won. Opens up the draw in his section though.

Last week, my husband and I got stuck for two or three hours in Toronto....I don't know what was wrong with the telly but it was World Darts, from somewhere Northern UK, it was probably an old repeat? I had the feeling that I was the only one in the place that could understand a word that was said, and yet I couldn't understand anything that was going on:blink:

Yeah, it's only at the end of each set, so it's not too bad really. John Parts commentary is pretty decent.

3-0. Can't see painter coming back now.

HID commented that we must like drinking and gambling a lot in the UK. I'm not sure what her point is. Two more matches, the bloke who took out Taylor and then Barney. :thumbup:

No computer and the streams are a pop-up minefield for android so I'll have to wait till the World Junior Hockey Championships are over then TSN will probably air the series. What's funny is that when I was walking up and down Vancouver with my darts in my pocket posting on here I couldn't find a game.

Well next time drop me line, there's a pub with a dart board near me. They also have a pool, table football, pin ball and some shove ha'penny type game.

Are you near the drive? I wanted to check out the WISE club. I've played at the Rail and the Rose and Thorne, Rose and Crown maybe? That was long ago. The big scary action was at the Blue Horizon on Robson 30 years ago, they had about 15 boards and it was busy. Hiram goes to the big city.

Don't drop me a line. You sound like you might be quite good at the game.

No, nowhere near it. I'm about as rubbish as Alan2005 though.
