It was a beautiful evening, the sky was clear and blue and a lovely English summer sunset was starting as the Bad Boys arrived.
First up the steps was Rushers looking very relaxed and ready to do battle. Then Bad Boy Papa arrived looking cool as a cucumber, mind you he still managed to complain about the number of steps up to the clubhouse; but then Papa isn’t a fan of steps; be it at the BBDC or Teddy’s SCABS club.
Next we heard the throaty gurgle of Casablanca Mike’s Harley being parked out front, followed by CM appearing complete with leathers and skid lid. Last but not least Mr Morgan bounded up the steps, having briefly stopped in the house on his way up to the clubhouse to help himself to a nice big glass and a good helping of Moreland ice from the fridge, Steve was making himself at home as always (and as always very welcome).
A few practice darts were hurled, Teddy hit double eleven which is usually the signal that practice is pretty much over and then it was time to flip the flipometers. It was at this point that Ian tossed his flipometer on to the floor and made a valiant but rebuffed attempt to claim that the dart coin on the floor should count, he was soon put straight, he flipped again and the teams were chosen (Mental Note: I may have to ask Teddy/Ian/Rushers to practice flipometering when he arrives rather than chasing double elevens).
The upshot of this was that Pete, Ian and Steve were pitched against Papa and CM. So finally on to the games!
PIS (sad but true) stormed away in the first game, Papa and Harley Mike managed to close the gap a little towards the end but it was still a clear win. The second also went to PIS but the difference was definitely closed down.
There were some strange going-ons in the second game, half way through the game Steve asked Ian where he was going on holiday for the next two weeks? Now Ian swears that he said he was spending the first week in a Gite in France; however the rest of the Bad Boys (who were listening) are damn sure that he said he was spending the first week in a sheep in France!
This caused all sorts of problems, Harley Mike guffawed while throwing and nearly missed the board, Steve stood in the club doorway and mimed how to (erm) get the best out of spending a week ’in’ a sheep while the rest of us (apart from Rushers)made ‘Baaaa’ noises.
Eventually we moved on to the third game, Papa and HM were leading by the half way point but then fate showed his/her hand again... Steve’s mobile started its sodding US house phone chime and he scooted out of the clubhouse to take the (admittedly important), (JA note this wasn’t a bloody cricket fixture conversation) call. After a couple of minutes waiting we all decided to play on. This seemed to cause a change in the game flow and despite needing a big catch up PI minus S fought to victory.
Still a man down we down we started the fourth game, PI got off to a great start (in fact we were getting rather smug), then bloody Morgan re-appeared and we lost the game (There are those who might say we lost due to Papa and HM’s superior play and they might well be correct!) In any event the PIS camaraderie is such that Pete and Ian welcomed Morgan le Phone back to our boosom/sheeps udder.
On to the fifth, the glorious fifth! I shall say nothing more than one team got nothing and it was nothing to do with PIS who (cough) had more than nothing. I would like to say more but I am afraid that there are concerns that the reporting might be seen as a whitewash.
Game six was a different story with Mike and Papa forging ahead, leaving PIS too big a gap to close; a well deserved win. The seventh swung back to PIS leaving the evening with the following score line:
PIS 12357 / PHM 46
I have to say that although Papa and HM weren’t on top form I reckon they probably deserved more than the two games they won, but hey, those are the breaks when you play at the Bad Boys Darts Club!
Bull Wars: Ian 4, Pete 1, HM 1, Phone Boy 0.
Notable events:
Papa had a Shang-Hi on 17’s
Teddy finished a game on a semi + bull.
Chart Changes:
Serious stuff this week! Casablanca Mike’s meteoric rise has been halted in one fell swoop; he drops from fourth place to sixth, while Mobile Morgan rises from sixth place to fourth, a straight swap! This of course still leaves Jelly Arm in the middle in fifth place. Pete and Ian both go up about half a percent. If you check out the % table you will see that a couple of well placed games could see most folks moving up or down a place..... Game On!
