    I'm there next Wednesday - look out for 14 wrestlers in the crowd. I'm personally going as Hulk Hogan.

    I saw a Hulk Hogan tonight :smile:
    Did anyone on here decide to go as Diane Abbott?

    For me Xmas begins when the darts does and comes to an end once the darts finishes.

    I used to enjoy going to the darts as well until all the Yaya/Kolo, tables/chairs football chants started taking place about 4 years ago now.

    In fact it's something that also belongs in the general things that annoy you thread. Even while Phil Taylor was playing last night you still had people with there backs to the action doing the Yaya/Kolo while he was playing potentially his last ever match.

    Me if I go to the darts I want to actually be able to watch the action not be surrounded by those only there for the drink - nothing wrong with that of course, just not for me so happy to just watch it at home now.

    Can't stand Taylor
  • Doing rather well at the moment with in play betting on Betfair.
    This boast will no doubt throw a spanner in the works though.

    Racist or banter?

    In bad taste........... possibly
    Inappropriate........ maybe
    Racist ................... Not in my book

    This is different to the B and W minstrels blacking up to represent a ludicrous view of black people generally . This is an impersonation of a real person.

    Agree with the above. Bad taste but not racist.
    The blacking up here is to show who they are impersonating rather than to make implications about that particular skin colour.

    Is Keith Lemon doing Scary Spice/Craig David racist? No as it's not about the colour, it's about the caricature

    Is it Sean Lock ? As for the scorecard 190 - brilliant.

  • Wade bites the dust. Good game.

    Good, become a twat
  • Couldn't believe Wade was still favourite on the exchange when 2-1 down.
    Happy days :-)

    There tomorrow night. Pretty much straight from work so no fancy dress. Are there any decent pubs near Ally Pally station?

    The Starting Gate is opposite the station but gets packed very quickly. Few pubs by Wood Green station and then get the W3 bus up to the Pally.. The Goose opposite Wood Green station also gets busy. The Jolly Angler is a decent pub.

    This was my Dad's pal. He thought it wouldn't make the cut because of the PC brigade! Lol
  • And FYI he's certainly not a racist and it was just banter. And for me, it's genius.

    i thought it was fucking hilarious, i was putting it up to show other posters, not to call the guy racist.
  • Paul Lim's barmy army

    Brilliant game

    I thought betting on Webster was easy money.
    There goes my winning streak.
    Saying that, I did have my doubts seeing how Lim plays a much slower game
  • Paul lim beating Mark webster last night, great effort from 63 year old with probably his highest ever average at the worlds around 100, won 3-2. Quite a few seeds going out but feels alot more competitive and i wouldn't really call them shocks eg. Wade vs Keegan Brown, half expected him to lose as Keegan is a big hitter and played a blinder. Loving it this time of year, do watch it normally too :)
  • Anyone just see that Addicks sign behind some men dressed up as cheerleaders?

    Wow unbelievable darts from Munch.
  • After watching the Prelim match I never expected Munch to batter Lewis like he did. Eight 180s!

    Well played lad.
