I'm still recovering from the shock of hitting that 180 in the Western! I can fire the maximums in whilst practising fairly regularly, but getting them out on a game 'for real' is far harder (even playing Teuchter league I get a dose of the nerves at my frst visit to the oche, shameful). Sounds like you're close though: keep the faith! In practise I started by aiming for 30 dart legs against the computer: that means you need to average just over 50 to beat it, hence the computer automatically takes 50 for each opposing visit. When I started winning more games than I lost on that setting, I took it down to 27 (comp deducts 56 per visit), and then again to 24 (deducts 62 per visit), which is where I'm stuck now! For doubles I just do round the clock, starting at a target of 81 darts (around 1 in 4), then taking 9 darts off when you manage it (lowest I've managed is 46). If you can throw around 25 dart legs then you'd be alright for a half-decent pub team, at least in the LDDL anyway! PS: Some observations on the Lakeside while we are here... - Tony O'Shea is still an annoying twunt - Joey Ten Berge's wife = hello nurse! - Christian Kist is worth a tenner each way (except he isn't, now that I've tipped him and hence put the curse on him) - Winstanley to win, then feck off to the PDC....

They're supposed to radio ahead to to British Transport Police at the next station, however that wouldn't have been terribly easy at 10pm on a Friday night, and where the bampot's actual stop was only a few minutes off. I suspect he probably knew that, and got what he deserved, tbh.....

That sounds like a cunt punt offence that one. Get her telt. Pet hate of the day is getting home and finding someone has fucked off with my supply of hangover cranberry flavoured MacB, and there's no Nurofen going. Cunnnnts.

Started on the lagers last night, but quicky turned into a Tasmanian Devil and was necking Jagerbombs, brandy, mulled wine, rum and anything else thrown at me. Pain. I'm starting marathon training tomorrow, so this should (hopefully) be my only appearance in here for a few months....

Here we go: Robin Gibb (captain/joker) Aretha Franklin Andy Williams Etta James Lemmy Kirk Douglas Mickey Rooney M*rg*r*t Th*tch*r Fidel Castro Hugo Chavez Murray Walker Stirling Moss Al-Megrahi Jocky Wilson David Blaine Peter O'Sullevan (sp?) Dick Van Dyke Jimmy Jones Jake LaMotta Noel Edmonds

Nah. Bags had the right idea, turn came down a 4 and as soon as I saw that I said 'here comes the fucking seven'. I was right. It was one of those horrible tables with coolers every 3 hands and people having quads/houses/flushes etc. all the time. Had to bin JJ twice, AK twice (all four folds turned out to be correct) or I'd have gone out before then. Gargh. There's another Sunday mega-monthly at the end of January BTW.

Aye, pretty much all of them are playing for the Royal now! I'm still larging it with the Drumlithie TR down the arse end of the league, almost got my first trophy at the Charities Cup (pairs, obviously!) but yer bastarding bandmate got in the way....

Last night's donkey league game is up there with the sickest shit I have seen in a long time. Here is a sample for the maths-heads: KK (his royal Plinth-ness) vs TT (me) vs 85 (donk) Flop: T62 Who ends up winning?

Shame there's no characters like that in the Laurencekirk league! Caught the end of the Newton/Pipe match last night, was a good 'un. I kept saying I wouldn't put my typical £10 on Gary 'Choker' Anderson but the sod nearly won last year! Shat a length when he nearly made a mess of his first game.....

Hands up who didn't see this vomit-inducing pile of lip service coming? Thought so.

I almost thought this was the return of Rinky, but the spelling and punctuation is far too good. If he comes on and calls me a chippy-eating fat bastard who can't play drums, we'll know I was wrong. As for the thread: times change, people move on, technology/consumerism moves on, no harm in getting a tad nostalgic every so often but no point pining for the old days because they won't happen again,etc....

Dave Officer waiting for a train this morning at Stanehive. I think.

Someone old-school on here with a bit of time on their hands should come up with a biq quiz. The winner gets their band to headline/play last at the Lemon Tree....

Experiencing freefall. Nothing else comes close, frankly....

Yep, Jags fans have until tomorrow to reserve seats. I'm down in Englandshire that weekend but would love to have had a pice of it.....

Scoring a penalty at Links Park this arvo. Magic!

Depends on how my football coupons come in! Tried to satellite my way in last Sunday, and was looking alright until some utter knobber called my button shove with eight-six off (I had fives) for 1400 less than my stack. Found two sixes on the board (natch) then remarked 'I've still no idea how I won that' a few minutes later. Cock.

Inspired by a recent juke-off at the darts, let's have some old-old-old school: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwFouEPdbic

3rd round SC draw: Spartans v Partick Thistle; Ayr United v Montrose; Irvine Meadow v Livingston; Stirling Albion v Dundee; Stenhousemuir v Alloa/Annan; Greenock Morton v Deveronvale; Airdrie United v Gala Fairydean; Keith v Arbroath; Fraserburgh/Elgin City v Queen's Park; Stranraer v Forfar Athletic; Clachnacuddin/Inverurie Loco Works v Peterhead; Ross County v Albion Rovers; Bo'ness Utd v Cowdenbeath; Auchinleck Talbot v Vale of Leithen; Brechin City v Dumbarton; East Fife v East Stirling/Buckie Thistle. Rumour is that Spartans might have fielded an ineligble player in the last round, so they might get the dunt and let Culter back in. I would wholeheartedly approve.

You're going to be the new 'Is Cloud living in Poland?' joke. I can feel it.

Pure LAAAADS

Anyone fancy a Spain vs Scotland programme from last week's game? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150677359744?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Didn't think so......

Stagecoach prices have always been much too high: recently paid £4.90 for a single between Inverbervie and Montrose, which is about 12 miles. Disgusting. At least out my way we've got Nicoll buses, which are cheaper (£9 return to Aibrrrdeen, though you do have to put up with a few back roads) , and the bus drivers are diamond geezers on them.

Anyone in need of a laugh (Nev excepted) may want to check Montrose's second goal against the Heed on SFL TV later in the week. Clanger time!

I half expected the voice of Noel Edmonds to scream GOOOOOOTCHA! at the end of that. As Bags says though, this is the band that put out St Anger...
