Absolute jammy bastard

No idea how I hit this one. Dartitis turned up to 11.

The dartitis is now ravaging my body parts at this point. My throwing arm is killing me, my back's out of whack and my left foot feels like someone took a sledgehammer to it. I think I need alcohol to both numb the physical pain and to shut out the mental anguish.

"It's only practice."

That's a direct quote from two different people, btw.

And, YES, it was practice in-between an actual league match, in-between me twitching from Dartitis when I was actually playing in a match but  . . . fuck . . . it's still a 180 . . . in a bar (PH for the initiated) . . . on a shitty board. I'll take it.

94/50

We lost 11-8. Going into the final round we were 8-6 up but it wasn't to be. (It happens.) The last game of the night  - when we still could have won the match - was the dreaded 501 (Double In, Double Out). No word of a lie, both teams were on D1 for about 25 minutes. Possibly the longest leg of darts I've ever witnessed. The match ended up finishing past midnight. Again, it happens.

The dartitis is still plaguing me when I'm playing but I did win my three games last night, so I stumbled through.

Unexpected

. . . that unexpected that I don't even have a Fresh Meat quote immediately to hand. Sorry about that.

It's kind of annoying that I hit this 180 whilst playing cricket against the Russ Bray app.

Fresh Fresh Meat quotes incoming . . .

Buckle up, folks; a deluge of Fresh Meat quotes as post titles will be flooding the blog in the coming days. 

I need to deal with the backlog of 180s  - humblebrag much? - before I get too overwhelmed. I need to do it now as there were only four series of the show, and it has to be admitted that series 3 & 4 were patchy at best and I might run out of zingers.

Where Were You?

Usual schtick . . . where were you last night? A relative painless, dartitis free 180. They still happen occasionally. 

PS - God bless The Mekons.

A statement of sorts

No complaints about this one. No sick-note about Dartitis; no side-note family drama; nothing more to say.

Sadly they were not Pickled Onion flavour.

Don't judge me. I saw an opportunity and I took it. (Writing this the next morning I am now suffering the consequences of that action.)

A very scruffy looking 180. You can tell what was the third dart at just one glance. If it wasn't for the dart on the right, holding it up, it would have been a frustrating 120. (I had one of those the same afternoon.)
