The echo in here is getting ridiculous.

We need a new carpet, I reckon.

8k a year

making screws for B&Q

Those jobs surely don't exist

Everyone has to start somewhere lad.

That's all in the past now though. He's earned six and a bit years worth of wages in three weeks. Nice work.

Yeah

That'll be me next year

You know what John Part's doing next?

Commentating for the BBC! That won't be awkward in any way.

We were talking about this on Tuesday night

I can see it now. Stubbs will be 'So, did you have a good Christmas, get up to anything fun?' and then cut Part off before he can answer with a snappy 'And we're out of time unfortunately, as we have to get straight to the oche for this crucial first round match between Hans Blurgletop and Dean Deanson!'.

Don't think he is unfortunately

It'll just be Stubbsy and Bobby George. Part will be preparing for the PDC Premier League!

who is everyone supporting?

I like the count and that insane australian guy who looks like a prog rock reject.

harru | 3 Jan '08, 11:40 | Send note | Report this | Reply

Roland Scholten

And the new-look Andy Fordham who now looks like a breast cancer sufferer

well i refuse to acknowledge him as a dartser

and that goes for the rest of those fools! ^

Come on!

It's a load of bobbins compared to the PDC.

^ this too

Do think Anderson will switch after Lakeside?

H-Stein | 3 Jan '08, 12:22 | Send note | Report this | Reply

If he wins, which he should

then I think I can see it happening. He was the best BDO player in the Grand Slam by some distance.

bamos | 3 Jan '08, 12:23 | Send note | Report this | Reply

Anderson is 10/1 to win the PDC Worlds next year...

So he is pretty much a given to join in a few weeks.

I refuse to click on anything involving web darts

It's one of the reasons my dissertation was so shit. Stupid web darts taking up all of my time.

bamos | 3 Jan '08, 12:25 | Send note | Report this | Reply

I did.

Apparently though, the conclusion 'Fucking yes! I whupped my mate Chopper 3-1 in the final!!!' isn't deemed 'a thorough enough summing up of some painstaking research'. Cunts.

Cos

He kept losing to Jim Boeing.

musicdating | 3 Jan '08, 12:31 | Send note | Report this | Reply

Uh-oh,

time to lower darting expectations.

'14!'
'37!'
'8!'

and so on. I'm hoping to see a 37-dart leg this year, that would beat the current shortest leg by some 10 darts.

I am so glad John Part beat that upstart too, he looked like my cousin

Maybe it was your cousin?

You should get in touch again, that £50,000 isn't going to spend itself.

5 grand of it

will buy some darts players' gold bling.

H-Stein | 3 Jan '08, 12:38 | Send note | Report this | Reply

Nah

I'd need the promise of more than that before I got in touch with him again

Judge_B | 3 Jan '08, 12:39 | Send note | Report this | Reply

Totally

For the last three weeks it's been 'oooh, maybe he can take out 137 actually, he's playing well'. Now we know we've got another five minutes after that point.
