Darts - Mike D has his ring (tone) slapped

DARTS DARTS DARTS

I say, I say I say….

Bernard Manning died this week, his condition is described as ‘satisfactory’. (C) Peter Cook

It’s results time!

Firstly the best result of the evening:

Pete, Ian, Colin and Mike D ‘ V’ Half full crop circle beer barrel

The Beer never stood a chance. Mind you it didn’t start that way, at the beginning of the evening the barrel was 20+ pints up on 4 thirsty lads. The team put a great effort in and by half time it was hovering around the dozen pints mark. At the end of play the barrel thought it had won and sat laughing with the best part of 3 pints left in it. However one final push (while sitting and leaning on various walls) saw the last drops shared out to the victors! Final score Bad Boys 20+ Barrel 0.

All joking aside, we are indebted to the Doddmeister for suggesting that we take the residue of ‘Boule Competition Day Academy HR Sponsored Beer ( http://www.academy-hr.co.uk/ )’ and whoop its arse. Cheers Doddy.

Ok, Down to business… or phone calls depending on who you are…..
The pickometer selected Peter and Ian to play Colin and Mike D. We had 6 games, all good fun and 3 very close, but when the whistle went (or was that the ring tone?) the final score was 6 - 0 to Ian and Pete.

Chart Changes: Colin moves up one, Jelly Arm moves down.

As regular visitors will know Steve often gets a bit of stick for his phone going off in the middle of matches and finding daughters requesting lifts home etc. God know we feel sympathy for the lad as it’s just not cri**et when a bloke is in the middle of a game. Anyway Steve, fear not, you have serious competition in the form of Mike Davies!

Mike’s phone went off during a match and he wandered around the garden for 5 minutes while we twiddled our thumbs and thought ‘Cant be offspring wanting a lift, they all drive.. Maybe its legal stuff, must be important.’ Anyway Mike finished the call with ‘Let me think about it and I will call you back’. We finished that game and then Mike said he had to make a call. Well an eternity later he came off the phone only to announce that phone interruptions in fact absolutely were cri**et!

The bastard was holding up our darts match (twice) so he could discuss friggin’ cri**et teams with a buddy! Be warned Davies this behaviour will not be tolerated in future!

Anyway great games and good fun, I was voted MOTM for a change, hurrah for me!

Finally I would like to draw your attention to Mr Rushton. Since the middle of April Ian has been employing his ‘Bulls First’ strategy with a great degree of success. During that period his % wins has risen from 49.37% to 57.33% making it the fastest and most consistent % rise this year (Congratulations Ian). He is obviously on to a tactic that works for him! What are you going to do about it lads?

Game On!
