He’d been in a bad way for a while so probably a blessed release. Bit before my time but was supposed to have been a hell of a player. RIP

Not sure miners would have been so willing to weigh in after ‘84, and Orgreave etc. As for nowadays, people are more likely to stand by filming with their phones. Who’d be a copper now? Public have zero respect for them. You rarely see them compared to when I was young, and when you do it’s two 5 foot nothing, slightly overweight young women getting out a van at McD’s, and who look like they’re weighed down by the uniform (PPE) and all the shit they have to carry. Doubt they could run the length of themselves and as for nicking someone who didn’t want to come quietly, you’d need about two

The way some young people speak. Not just the slang words that I don’t understand, they’ve always been about, but just the way some talk. Treated myself to a bacon roll at the bakers this morning. When the 20 something year old server put the roll down and asked if that was all, I pointed to the bottle of juice I’d placed right in front of him on the counter, to which he said “oh, and a cheeky wee bottle of coke zero”. Now, if I’d just tipped a miniature of whisky into it then fair enough, but I didn’t, so what the fcuk? No need for it.

Still wouldn’t have been getting out to check if it was okay.

Those two lynx in Scotland have melted into the landscape to live like ghosts and become the subject of myth and legend. Nah, they’ve both been captured!

20 arrested so far for looting. Scum of the earth. They should have a shoot to kill policy, that’d nip it in the bud.

Sympathy obviously for those that have died, but a lot worse sh!t going on elsewhere in the world right now. Incidentally, given the change in climate and that it now appears huge chunks of the US, Europe and Australia are effectively turned into gigantic tinderboxes every couple of years.., and the astronomic financial damage which is done when they go up…, isn’t that a fcuking open goal to anyone looking to harm said places?

My old fella used to take me with him when he did a bit of rough shooting and fishing regular back in the 70’s. I still remember one particularly cold and wet day shooting and getting home and my brother telling me I’d missed the muppet show. I was gutted. Next week I never went as I didn’t want to miss the muppets. I must have been about five. Never went shooting with him again.

Have to say Littler is certainly not getting any littler.., and is in really poor nick for a lad of only 17. I reckon the lifestyle of a pro darts player won’t be good for him either.., staying/eating in hotels etc. all the time and there might be trouble down the road for him.., especially once he can drink legally. Hope he works it out as I think he’s a generational talent and brilliant for the game. Remember a few years ago there was a campaign to get darts into the olympics. Jesus wept.

I’ve no intention of ever stripping down and rebuilding a motorbike engine but could watch this guy doing it for hours. Fascinating.

MVG sloppy but had chances but couldn’t finish when it counted. Littler did what he needed to do without needing top gear. Well deserved. The one thing that stands out with Littler, other than the quality darts he plays, is that there’s not even a twitch as he gets close to the line. Going to be tough to beat for the next fcuk knows how many years!

Fingers crossed that both players turn up with their best darts tonight. Could be an absolute barn stormer. I’ve bet the nuke to win 7-5 but don’t care who wins as long as we get a spectacle.

MVG played very well and IF he can keep it up should be too strong for Dobey. Littler was phenomenal there.., and I still think there’s a gear or two more. Hopefully all four players turn up with their ‘A’ games and we get two cracking semi finals.
