Please post any news re Dimi ASAP please !
-
No surprise to see Tahir and Dawson opening the bowling ! The next half an hour will truly be an exercise in futility, I'm sure even the fans who are there would be happy to see the game end now.

A pint of what ! Why so !? Weather looks very dodgy TBH.

Taylor probably practices as much if not more than 90% + of sportsmen and women. A few years ago he actually lost in the World Champs and one major reason was that his weight loss affected his balance ! To be at the top of any profession for 20 years is amazing by any standards and it is no coincidence all the top players join the PDC eventually and he now has to play even better as players like Wade, Van Barneveld, Anderson and King are all capable of averaging 100+, Taylor though is regularly above 105. Whichever way you cut it Taylor is an incredible darts player and no one comes close and that includes Bristow who was the player I loved to watch in the 80's and I'm a great fan of his. -
Lol, Safe to assume McGrath was a tad unhappy then

505/9, in fact all out . Should hope Dimi will be Ok though he did not return. However, no point at all taking any further risks. Ervine made 82.

Carbs for England ? No chance I know but I'd prefer him to Bell TBH
-
No, I rarely lay horses.

Doncaster 7.20 Kingswinford
-
About the same as if you did pick him TBH = no chance
-
You can take that as a given TBH
-
Pretty feeble reason for picking him TBH
-
I'm waiting to see if Lee and Watson play, both have of course been injured so I'd be surprised if both play though I read Watson may replace North ? I think Stuart Clark might play, probably for Johnson though weather permitting the Aussies 3 day game at Nothants will be interesting.

Katich ! You surely will not pick Bell
-
I know who I would pick if I were you !!

Ok, I will try to explain all 1) Neither Lowe or Wilde are King Harold. Lowe is clearly King William the B@stard (later the Conkerer) Wilde aka King Ethelred the Unready had already departed to hell or Fratton Park as it is now known ! 2) No one has ever been sure what happened to the Sundance Beast, rumours that he teamed up with a cowboy were untrue, it was an urban legend. 3) The Duke of Wellington did indeed exchange much correspondence with General Blucher as Britain formed a coalition with Prussia though it was the arrival of General Bulow and his army that proved a major turning point though the much heralded British Bulldog spirit was much in evidence. It is not clear at what point Marcus Liebherr arrived on the scene but it is believed his forces arrived just in the nick of time after the mighty Pinnacle army decided to withdraw claiming, falsely it is believed, that they could not agree to fight as they felt the contract they needed to sign was illegal. Thus they rode away into the sunset and later were sent away as tax exiles.

Not that it has any relevance at all but the timeline was: 20th September - The Battle of Fulford: King Harold II of England against his half brother Tostig and King Harald 25th September - The Battle of Stamford Bridge: King Harold II of England against his half brother Tostig and King Harald 14th October - The Battle of Hastings: King Harold II against Duke William the B@stard (later the Conqueror) The fighting was widespread and Harold deployed his force, astride the road from Hastings to London, on Senlac Hill some six miles inland from Hastings. To his back was the great forest of Anderida (the Weald) and in front the ground fell away in a long glacis-like slope, which at the bottom rose again as the opposing slope of Telham Hill. The later town called Battle in the modern county of East Sussex was named to commemorate this event. Here endeth today's history lesson though the main lesson I believe is that fighting is a bl**dy stupid way to settle an argument !!

Were you still complaining way back in 1492 then !!

17 I think !

Even Eric does not believe that TBH Bristow says the only game of darts he wished he had never played was the 1990 world title final when Taylor defeated him 6-1. He said: "I would rather have been sitting in the crowd watching him that day, and Phil hasn't changed much since then. " -
oops

Who me or the thread Must be closed shortly !!

Yes, she raised an amazing £1.5m for Cancer research, a true inspiration. -
Indeed, you can record 2 programmes at the same time plus pause whilst watching live if say the phone rings. Also setting programmes to record is so quick. I pay £44 pm though that includes Sky Movies and some extra music channels as well as Sky Sports.
