From: WalkaboutsVerse More characters than you could shake a dart at...anyone been watching the World Darts Championship, on the BBC, from London..? Poem 58 of 230: THE OLD BULL Walked along Fog Lane, Looked at the park, Stopped in the Old Bull And had a hark, While eating lunch, On how at dark, Many years before, My father's lark, There, was games of darts - I'd filled an arc.

10 Jan 10 - 08:32 AM (#2808169) Subject: RE: BS: 180!!! - World Darts Championship From: WalkaboutsVerse No, Stu, I think darts (like croquet)is one of many tasks suitable for both the ladies and the gents. But, as I've said in prose and verse, ladies should play TABLE tennis, rather than lawn tennis; and netball, e.g., rather than rugby. |

Some years ago all the top professionals split with them, as it was the fiefdom of a single promoter who they saw as tyrannical etc. They formed their own organisation, whose own world championship finished a couple of weeks ago. They were shown on Sky, rather thgan BBC, who are still in contract with the BDO. The incomparable Phil Taylor is the rightful world champ, and all the real contenders are also in the rival competition. |
