    I noticed a big change in Littler’s demeanour from him winning the World Youth Championship to after he won the World Championship. He became more “cocky”, arrogant even. Now, there’s nothing wrong with that, it didn’t do Bristow any harm, and I think any top sportsman needs that confidence, but Littler is such a young age and to have all the success , money and accolades coming so quickly could easily turn his head. I hope it doesn’t, as I think he could be the next Phil Taylor ! He needs a good support team behind him to advise and direct him. Cheers.

    The government have refused for months to have a Statutory Nationwide Inquiry into the Pakistan rape gangs. Now Baroness Casey has done a report into it and has said there SHOULD be an inquiry. Last January Starmer said anyone wanting an inquiry is just jumping on a far right bandwagon…. Now he’s done a screeching U turn. Labour don’t want the inquiry because the councillors, MP’s and Police commissioners who have covered the rape gang scandal are almost universally Labour ! This could end up a cover up of the original cover ups,I hope not, but I have absolutely no trust in thi

    Humphries was bad the whole match. Littler started badly but got slightly better. Scotland got whitewashed by the Dutch . Hong kong beat the Swedes. Some surprise results ! Cheers.

    They should take it back after the way he and Humphries have just played ! Thrashed by the Germans in the World Cup of Darts. Cheers.

    When Saudi Arabia decided to have a national airline, they turned to America and TWA was given the contract to develop and run the airline. It was manned almost exclusively by American personnel, coincidentally, the Saudi Airforce was run mainly by Lockheed with British and American instructors. When Saudi Arabian Airlines decided to have a Major Base in Jeddah, they turned to mainly British Engineers, the majority coming from Rolls Royce in Derby and British Airways in Cardiff, and people like myself who were already employed in the Middle East aircraft businesses. It took over

    I just been gifted this shirt by a pal who runs the bars at the Premier League venues; I said to the missus “ I’m wearing it when I take you out for dinner tomorrow “. She told me “ no you’re f***ing not !” I affected a hurt look and said “ but I thought you liked darts ? “ She told me to f**k off again ! Theres no pleasing them ! LOL ! Cheers.

    Sitting here with a tear in my eye , the massed bands and the Coldstream Guards are playing “The Blaydon Races “ at the Trooping of the Colour in front of the King ! LOL ! Cheers.

    Not now, I very rarely go to a pub. Haven’t picked up a set of darts in years, but still take a keen interest in, been to Premier League games in Newcastle and watch on telly whenever possible. Cheers.

    No, mate. Just a pub player. Cheers.

    I feel your pain mate ! LOL ! Every trip I make involves fishing, hunting, dogs, etc, but the wife doesn’t mind. I travelled the world with her when she was a darts player, so I guess we are even ! LOL ! She does all the travelling now, and I’m content to stay at home, although I’m looking forward to my trip to Ireland in December. Cheers.

    I loved Texas. Managed to tick two things off my bucket list; visit the JFK assassination sites and see the Alamo. Started in Dallas, stayed in the Presidential Suite for one night at the Dallas Hylton then rented a rag top Mustang and drove to SanAntonio and stayed with friends. Also went out to Fredericksburg and stayed in a log cabin belonging to President Johnson , for a night. In San Antonio , the river side area is a good visit, take a boat down the river and there’s loads going on on the river banks. Met some hunters in a bar and they took me for a run with some staghounds,

    When I see something, ( not your post, by the way, I saw the funny side of it), that I think is incorrect, I can’t help myself, I have to reply with a rebuttal. It’s not arrogance, malice, me being a big head or showing off , or, as Mushroom would say “peacocking “, I just like to give my considered opinion. I don’t get upset when my protege contradicts something I’ve had a lifetime of experience in, I just take a deep breath and try to direct him in the right direction, it’s a good excercise in self control ! LOL ! Cheers.

    A common misconception; there’s no “lead” in a pencil. Compressed carbon , I think. How’s that for being pedantic ? LOL ! Cheers.

    Now, Now ! I smile wistfully, like an exasperated father and wonder where I went wrong when I read some of his pronouncements, but he’s like a prodigal son, I can’t bring myself to be an angry with him. It’s a cross I’ll have to bear and hope he eventually grows out of it ! LOL ! Cheers.

    Don’t bring me into it ! LOL ! I didn’t bring him up to be so disrespectful ! Im reading this and wondering who these “everyone “ are who are adding saluki blood to their lurchers ? I’ve a very wide selection of friends and acquaintances in the dog game and I don’t see lads who run the hills and mountains of Scotland rushing to add saluki . Not one of the Irish lads I know have any interest in adding saluki to the dogs they work. No one who runs big bucks in the rut would add saluki None of the lads running fox on a regular basis would either, I could go on, but
