I believe Littler could become the best darts player there’s ever been, but still doubt he’ll get near Taylor’s title haul. The standard of darts is incredible now. As for snooker. O’Sullivan is the best ever no question, but could have put any debate to bed years ago if he could have got his head right. Darts seems to be flying, but I do wonder about the future of snooker, especially emergence of significant talent from the UK. Doubt many kids are watching snooker on TV the way the likes of Davis, Hendry and O’Sullivan must have growing up, and been inspired to pick up a cue. They see

Like Bill Burr’s stuff on Netflix. There’s a Rodney Carrington set on Netflix which is pretty funny too.

Hoping to sell up and move somewhere rural when the kids are finished with school. Always had an interest in birds and picture myself whiling away my twilight years feeding and watching a myriad of bird species in a mature garden. When I was a kid sparrows and stuckies (starlings) were all I’d get in the garden. Things are better now, and after a mental tally, think i could name maybe 30 species I’ve seen this year in the garden. Not brilliant but keeps me interested and putting grub out for them.

Man’s had more handles than Trigger’s broom.

Got that Merlin app in the summer last year and love it. First used it at a wee bit of hawthorn scrub with a ditch running through it. The variety of species was incredible, and I saw probably less than half of what was singing. Not much use for it at this time of year though, although I did confirm the identity of a mistle thrush in the garden last week. Looking forward to using it in the coming months though.

Wow. First two sets taken against the throw, with absolute top quality darts. Shaping up to be one of the best ever. Just needs a 9-darter…, or two!

Boy in a man’s body, and he’s fearless. Luke Humphries looking good and if he progresses he’ll hopefully stand up to his scoring and could be a final for the ages. I bet Humphries at 5/1 couple of rounds ago

Been wet and windy for months here, with ground water logged and regular flooding. Wettest winter for at least ten years I reckon. Had a fishing trip to Norfolk broads cancelled in November due to flooding. Think the issue is more tidal than due to rainfall, but think they’ve had it tough the last few months. Hopefully we’ll get a cold snap soon.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Hotdogs, nachos and popcorn in for the annual Christmas eve “I’m not watching that sh!te again” family movie night. Hope you all have a happy and peaceful one.

Joshua clinical, and made an easy nights work of someone who busted up and took Fury the distance. THL logic now dictates that Joshua would beat Fury. No argument
-
Can’t believe how much the Fury fan boys have bummed up Wilder the last few years to give Fury’s CV credibility, when the rest of us knew he’s fought no-one of any real standing at heavyweight. Wilder is a dreadful boxer, and totally neutralised by a decent, but not anywhere near elite level boxer in Parker. Interested to see what Joshua has left, and whether he looks like he could seriously compete for a belt again. Also, fcuk all this sucking up to the arabs. We need these fights back in the US and Europe. If the Saudis want a big title fight in Riyadh, let them produce a contender

Wilder stank the place out. One judge gave Parker all 12 rounds ffs!

Thought this was nice…, very ‘Irish’ if you get what I mean. And no adulteration of his lyrics either, beautiful as they are. Rainy night in Soho always going to be my favourite though. Shane MacGowan funeral: Pogues songs including Fairytale Of New York ring out as mourners say goodbye NEWS.SKY.COM Mourners in Dublin gathered in the morning as Shane MacGowan's...

All the very best for the battle you have ahead of you.

Nice wee documentary made by Greg Davies about his life long love of A Kestrel for a Knave. Meets with Dai Bradley who played Billy Casper in the film, and Barry Hines’ brother, who inspired the character. Worth a watch if you like the book and/or film.

Is this the thing being promoted/endorsed by one ir two of these youtube boxers? It should be the mission of every boxing promoter to get these idiots in a ring with a competent pro in the same weight class and utterly expose them for the frauds that they are. I can’t even fathom how they get any attention in the first place. As for this clamour for a bottle of pop, I’ll never understand how fools and their money can be this spectacularly parted. Idiots!

One of a very select few sportsmen to transcend their sport and become a globally loved and respected sporting superstar. There’s no doubt he was a footballing pioneer and genius, head and shoulders above his peers. For Brazil he was and always will be a national icon…, a guy who has died after long illness, years after finishing playing, and the state has announced 3 days of official mourning! Not the time for debating the ‘GOAT’…, but no debating who was and will always be the king of football. RIP Pele.

Moving drama on BBC about a terminal cancer diagnosis and a decision on assisted dying. Worth a watch.., decent soundtrack too.

Merry Christmas one and all. May your stockings be overflowing, and your turkey fully cooked. ????

In a world where I now utter the words ‘the world’s gone mad’, or ‘we’ve lost the fcukin plot’ with depressing regularity, yesterday’s goings on at Holyrood hit a new low for me. Despite opinion polls showing the majority of the public do not want this, the Scottish parliament voted to approve a bill enabling a person to officially change their gender identity after 3 months of ‘living’ in that gender…, although there appears to be no criteria laid out to determine what that actually even means. Worse still, a late appeal to amend the bill to prevent registered sex offenders changing

No real context on numbers but a quick search shows about 300k deaths in canada p/a, so only maybe 3% assisted? If it’s used to intervene in the lingering and painful final stages of cancer and dementia, then I’d say the number might even be lower than I’d expect.

Spot the big cat.

Soundtrack to the ‘90 summer of love. RIP Martin Duffy. May your light forever shine on.
