  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. I’ve no intention of ever stripping down and rebuilding a motorbike engine but could watch this guy doing it for hours. Fascinating.
  4. 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!
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. It’s a cattle prod attachment I want
  8. Genuinely straight off the BBC website. Apparently there’s a puddle in Inverness and some wheelie bins down in Invergordon. Well that puts the 220+ deaths in Valencia a few weeks ago right into perspective!
  9. Been to the street party a few times back in the day. Folks come from all over the world for it. Some pretty disgruntled punters tonight. Public transport in and out of Edinburgh is a shambles at the best of times, add in the holiday and a bit of bad weather it’s a recipe for disaster.
  10. See Wayne Rooney is back on the dole. Suspect it’s as much about his play off-field as much as the results on the park.
  11. I predict a Fury win and a triumphant THL return for Max.
  12. Too many breaks between sets.., in my opinion disrupts the flow of play and probably to the detriment of the game. For me the best games are fast and ebb and flow with both players trading scores and legs like heavyweight boxers. Not liking it at all.
  13. That’s me on a roll now. Another pet hate is the massive increase in TV ads for charities at this time of year. It’s fcuking relentless.
  14. This is Andy Fordham. Who da fcuk is that guy?
  15. Good on Wright upsetting a few people by telling them he’s not over the hill yet, then going out and proving it. A lot of form players already out. Might this be the year of the underdog? I’ve just bet Stephen Dumpling to win at 14’s! Littler is incredible and the longer games should suit him now so rightly favourite, but can he carry the weight of expectation?
  16. Difficult to tell from the video but the leopard didn’t look particularly big.., maybe a female or juvenile. Just my opinion but no pitbull would be any sort of match for a male or larger female leopard.
  17. New film out (on Sky) with both Alex Honnold and Tommy Caldwell. Pretty decent watch if you like that sort of thing.
  18. Mine would be fishing some remote loch. Not so much now but I did a bit of fishing in remote areas including over-nighters. It’s amazing what you’ll see just sat quietly somewhere.
  19. Right.., love the darts but having to watch it with the volume right down as I can’t listen to the absolute sh!te the crowd sing. The ‘don’t take me home’.., ‘yaya/kolo toure’ songs are fcuking brutal to listen to every 5 minutes.., and that ‘Scotland get battered’ song is possibly the worst ever.
  20. Two 9 darters already and its really only getting started. Littler taking a set in 32 darts and a 140 average is incredible. A lot of big names already out but really looking forward to the later rounds and maybe some fresh faces going deep into the competition.
  21. Modern football terminology irritates the fcuk out of me.., and especially when it comes out the gob of some pundit who I don’t feel has earned the right to sit there and enlighten me as to what I’ve just been watching. Turnover, recycling, transitioning, pivoting, low block, high press, overload, breaking lines…, all p!sh new terms for which we already had perfectly adequate (and often more descriptive) language for. Probably made up in some think tank by people who think they’ve reinvented football. D!cks!
  22. I’m not a very accomplished guitarist but had a mess about with a really cheap and basic looping pedal a few years ago but had some fun with it.
