 Darts PLAYERS have got to eat, right? So here we are, we three, doing the evening dinner. A few drinks, a bit of pudding, all very nice. Little did we expect the international darts onslaught that was soon to arrive
|
|
 Just moments later, after already enjoying a European BADAss invitational
against the semi-regular Cypriots (tbc), a great coachload of smartly
dressed golf types enter the scene. Oh dear. But good news - they throw.
So the International Challenge is accepted - 6 true men vs. 6 true men,
1001 point leg, straight in
|
|
 Early warm up darts show our European Brothers to be very worthy comrades
- and most excellent cigar smokers. Surely this would be critical in the
BIG event. Shit Jonsson and The Optician share a few pre-match quips with
our fellow European PLAYERS
|
|
 It bangs on. Early form shows the relaxed Euro Players have a slight
edge on our American cousins. Jokes were told. Coins were flipped. Chants
were chanted. Darts were thrown
|
|
 After a long session, The Optician was left with a double of some kind
(details to follow soon) and his arm was true - GAME...
|
|
 Shit Jonsson, along with the other Euro Players, offers heartfelt darting
congratulations to the jammy Optician. But our touring dartists weren't
happy to leave things like this - they wanted revenge. With shouts of
'you're the man' and 'U.S.A.' their pepper was quite literally up again.
GAME ON
|
|
 Extra support is called in to assist the trailing team - Steve Martin joins
in to offer moral support to the Visitors...
|
|
 ...whilst we call on Kenny Everet to supply humorous stories & good
feeling - all in the best possible taste
|
|
 But Steve's madcap humorous support proved too strong for Kenny's distant
quips - especially as he died a while back. BADAss used to love his weekend
radio shows...
So it ended up with a 1001 point leg going each side of the water - a very
fair result. But next time the BADAss Players will be better prepared by not
drinking Cointreau followed by Guinness with Cider. Maybe. Maybe not -
who knows? That's darts
|
|
 and BADAss cards for all
|
| |
It just goes to show what can happen every time you step out that door.
There's a hot darts challenge lurking around each & every corner - so be prepared.
Practice your darts every day. Practice your boozing too. Never let your
guard down. Above all - remember -
It's still a darts life
