Going back to bed

It's going to be one of those days.

That is what is known as a 'Robin Hood' in darts. Think of that scene with Errol Flynn in The Adventures of Robin Hood.

Five minutes later I was throwing again for a 180 and the third dart bounced out.

My face was in my favor. I badly needed a haircut, but sometimes the slightly wild look was just what a client wanted in a bodyguard. My nose had been broken at least three times, once by a baseball thrown by my brother, once by a wind-shield and once by a fist thrown by my brother, in that order. But at five foot nine, the nose was a valuable asset. It announced that I had known violence.
