This pans out . . .

This is the kind of misinformation on the internet that I can get behind.

Should have posted this a month ago but I was too busy enjoying the football . . .

My kids don't like football . . . or Maths . . . or History.

What do they like?

A screenshot from an old issue of Roy of the Rovers. I don't actually remember the strip itself. It was called 'The boy who did not like football'. Sod him.

Fake it till you make it

15 darts thrown (2 bounced out). There's a (fake) 180 in there somewhere.

Dicking around 'cos my darts' performance at the moment are absolutely shocking. It's my worst slump in at least a year. No cast iron explanation but a lot of bullshit theories. The least bullshit - and, therefore, the most plausible - is that I'm just winding down on the darts. A combination of age, health, indifference and just feeling fucking blah.

All melancholy aside, throwing multiple darts at the board in a random fashion actually serves some purpose. It's good for the dartitis . . . if nothing else. I even threw the darts without using the 'fake' throw. I haven't thrown darts like that for a while.

Counting backwards

Posted the 8th August (late morning).

Currently in a slump with regards to the darts. (I seem to start a lot of darts posts with that line . . . but this time it's even worse.)

Deliberating whether or not I should go to a local dart event this afternoon. Not because I'm playing well and I think I can get something out of it but because I'm playing badly and I need to push myself. I probably won't.

Honkers

Posted the 8th August (late morning).

Honkers? What?

Lexulous made me do it. Not even my bingo. Someone else's. So why am I mentioning it? 'Cos the struck me. Why am I doing a poor imitation of David Peace? Not enough repetition for the full Peace experience.
