The Hit (1984)

The Works

Are you shitting me?

I only picked up these darts 'cos I asked my son to get me a random dart to help me open a package. I decided to play with them against the Dart bot, and I only go and hit my first ever 170 checkout. ('The Big Fish'.)

I haven't played with these darts - One80 Rectifiers - for about 4 years. This is the bane of the bang average dart player. Pick up a random set darts, play out of your skin with them for 5 minutes, and then convince yourself that they're your 'forever darts'.

It serves me right.

I'm Chering this . . .

I laughed.

Maybe they should change their name to Hearts of Mitteleuropa?

Spot the pun, peeps? No truth in the rumour that Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves is a reference to the Hearts ultras.

Yep, posted on Twitter, but spotted on Facebook. Twitter is not my thing these days. It hasn't an unpleasant musk surrounding it. 

'Can you give me a five star rating?'

I won't lie. This brilliant joke that I found on Facebook hits a bit too close to the bone.

You just can't help yourself.

Bobbing along

A mid-afternoon 180. Nothing much to report, so I won't make something up.

68/50

Everybody Wants Some!! (2016)

 

Previously seen in a small hut in Düsseldorf, West Germany, circa 1983

Seven years ago today.

Yes, that was my board and those were my darts. 

The board was from Aldi. I think the Darts were from a Christmas Cracker . . . they might as well have been.

Facebook likes to trigger me.

Where were you last night?

Another league defeat last night. That's three defeats in a row now. Losing one of our best players to a broken hand and the new format have not helped us. It also didn't help that I was standing in the wrong part of the oche for the first half of last night. My fault as it was my decision. 

I did end up salvaging something by hitting a Round of 9 in my cricket singles match in the final round. My first ever R9 in a league match. (I hit a 180 in a league match a few years ago.) I nearly hit a second R9 a couple of minutes later but the third dart deflected in the T3. (I was going for 3 T17s.)

Anyway, back to this morning's 132 checkout. The second time I've hit the Bull, Bull, D16 checkout, and this time my dartitis was giving me gip.

Click on the link and all will be revealed it will be partially hinted at . . .

If I told you what happened, you wouldn't believe me. FFM . . . . FFM.

FFM? Family 'fucking' drama.
