Try as we might, we just cant go past the Lakeside with popping in for a refreshment. And look, the Darts World Championships are on too - that's lucky*

Game on*

 

 

Right, our man in Hampshire arranges the pre match looseners at BADAss Peaks. Everyone's understandably nervous - it's a big day ahead of us*

 

 

Men like fire *

 

 

Men like smoke*

 

 

Men like sausages*

 

 

Men REALLY like sausages*

 

 

After that little lot, it's time to settle down for a bit & get ourselves in the mood for it*

 

 

So, everything in place, we magic ourselves away to the Never Never Land* of darts*

*(Never eat anything that's been on the floor there)

 

 

Matador gets his little fella out for all to see, firm and shiny, and a touch pungent*

 

 

He's on a role. See William 'Are there any Jews in?' Fitz-Morris try to touch his little fella, right on the tipsy*

 

 

Crikey give it a rest man, you'll fray the end*

 

 

And....... relax. We settle for a balcony view, the upper ground giving us some protection from a crowd that somehow seem to have managed to drink more than us*

 

 

For example, this chap has most likely sank a few crates, single handedly*

 

 

Meanwhile, Tubby Fitz-Morris whips the crowd up into the lagery lather*

 

 

'Thirsty of Wales' staggers off left to drink the other half of The Lakeside dry*

 

 

A rare touch of glam from a group of darts tarts nearby. Of course, their beauty is a relative thing...

 

 

... as the regularly darts tarts are as rough as Andy Fordham's down belows*

 

 

Steak Anderson has a good time*

 

 

The Optician has a good time*

 

 

Steak Anderson still having a good time*

 

 

Snack has a good time*

 

 

But as long hand of darts hits the bulls eye of time, we find there's no more action to watch inside. Always plenty of entertainment outside though*

 

 

Little Pev has pulled!*

 

 

Snack likes the pulling*

 

 

We head back to civilisation & for a 'much needed' round of drinks. The Optician isn't convinced the drinks are needed, and his body considers making some of it go away*

 

 

But thanks to the undeniable healing power of darts, after a little BADAss tournament all's well again. We toddle back to BADAss Peaks where we put our darts away*

 

 

 

BADAss

Respect due. Respect given. Sometimes, it's only after a huge occasion like this that one really appreciates just how big it is. Strangely, with this realisation comes a throbbing headache and a feeling of nausea/paranoia. Neil Armstrong. Scott of the Antarctic. Edmund Hillary. They've all felt it, and my friend, so could you. JOIN BADASS for only 1 pint of Stella. Live life on the edge.

 

Love the darts. Buy me a pint*
