Lakeside Darts Championship 2008

I like a good sport and with the darts championship just round the corner, i'm practically pissing my pants.

the annual darts party is also in the planning, ale, a good roast dinner, and the sweepstake on the highest outshot. Awesome.

Anyone seen Andy Fordham lately? 10 stone lighter and what looks like a touch of jaundice, fantastic work!

BEFORE

AFTER

Anyone else got a semi on at the thought of a weeks solid entertainment?

you mentioned "sport" and "darts" in the same sentence

I am scared by that pic of Mr Fordham

I never thought anyone would be better off obese...

darts has recently officially been recognised as a sport....

it's more of a sport than pigeon fancying

and greyhound racing

I worked on a documentary about darts a few years ago and got to go to Bobby Georges house. Love it now and always watch it on TV so awesome!

Was that the documentary that also looked at the Dutch fanatacism about darts?

I fucking love darts, go every year. This year i'm going to the PDC at ally pally with 14 mates tho for some Phil 'The Power' Taylor action.
gotta love that dodgy tattoo..
I can't wait for Wii darts in Jan..

its a lovely time of year for the 'arras

COME ON WOLFY!

yeah a load came out aroud the same time so it could have been, ive never actually seen the finished show. It went to this awesome biker guys house who threw a nine dart in some pub competiton, he was amazing.

Apparently Andy Fordham was once asked by a cheeky journo if he considered himself to be an athlete. His reply:

"Well, I wear trainers and I've been on Grandstand."

Pure genius.

darts is like the mullet haircut:

desperately unfashionable ten years ago, but now has "Ironic" status.

I have always been amused by the wheezing, northern commentator who says things like "this is top class family entertainment" and "Oh there's his lovely wife" (when the camera inevitably lingers on some peroxided, bejewelled, obese, potty mouthed creations of Great Britain's society)

yeah, me mum loves the limelight..

someone needs to find a bar that allows bikes, so we can have TRACKSTANDING DARTS!

right I want a photoshop picture of an arrospok dartboard now!

fuck yeah i dont think i can sleep now!!! i'm going to get nightmares!

Darts is the sport of Kings.

Never expected to find such devotees on this site !

Forget Fordham its all about Bobby George's entrance to the oche...

Spent years growing up with Bullseye on a Sunday afternoon. Used to hate it. Now I absolutely love it!

My brother-in-law has always gone on about how he would like to go and watch it, I've always said I'd go as well. A month ago he asked me if I fancied earning a bit of cash taxiing him and 3 of his mates to Lakeside as he'd got tickets for the second round. Yeah, thanks very fcuking much, you cnut.

ha! do you remember the prizes on bulls eye? it was like 2 quid and a sponge... hardly worth going on!

god i feel old...

remember this classic moment on Top of the Pops with Dexy's?

'Jockey Wilson Says...'

oh and darts fan spoke cards anyone?

I got these for my mates when we go on the 20th but I have some left over..

you can get them for newitts.com for the cost of postage alone.

aidan oh and the wolf is the shizzle and rob's just bitter because he's shit at darts

in actual fact, I was once in a darts team. many years ago. (mullets were IN fashion, and the word Ironic hadn't been invented yet)

I was 16 at the time and beating all the fat middle aged blokes, but darts is essentially a bit of fun in a boring pub, there's so much more to life than darts , Aidan..maybe one day you'll discover these things..

I want a Jockey Wilson spoke card
