Comments

  1. This sounds great. I’m in. I have no idea about darts and the scoring system but I’m sure someone will tell me.

    DN – Red Hugh
    WOS – I Remember When I Was Young – Matt Taylor
    WOC – Billy Connolly

  2. The People's Elbow says

    Darts Name: James Van Der Beek
    Walk-on Song: “I Don’t Want To Wait” – Paula Cole
    Walk-on Companion: Katie Holmes

  3. Earlt nomination from a bloke called Donno whose mate Collo has also nominated and writes:

    Donno, you should know, was the back-to-back ACT Air Guitar champ, and came third in the nation 2009.

    Be warned.

  4. Dips, you clearly haven’t taken in much darts.

    But then, each to their own.

    [I preferred Connolly in his early Parkinson days]

  5. JTH how hard can it be? When I play Pool or Billiards I turn into Eddie Charlton after a few pots. I’m hoping with the darts I’ll turn into van Gerwen

  6. JTH – I’ll be playing from home

    DN – The Singapore Flinger
    WOS – Thunderstruck
    WOC – Mr Ed
