** World Matchplay Day 5 - Second Round **

Gwynny's a nice old fella, can't include him.

I'd get them tickets to a Batman screening and cross my fingers.

Bet you Lori says Gwynney

OOooooooooooooooooohhh thats harsh Lori

yeah, Gwynney

who's whitehall? only one i can think of is steve

Sickening incident that was but I had 2 questions.
Why was a 6 yr old at a midnight screening of an R rated film?
Why was a baby???

bit soon, sorry.

I've not had the pleasure of Whitehall yet I don't think, and Flintoff I can take or leave.

Gwynne is pretty high up on my list of comms I wish weren't comms though, and by pretty high up, I think I mean number one

Jack whitehall posh comedian. not funny

The police saying a guy colouring his hair red and calling himself "Joker" MIGHT be relevant shows the level of investigation we're dealing with here.

Can we add Pearson to the bullet list please. That would be something special.

Gwynne's obviously past his best, but I guess he's part of the furniture and he's a nice guy.

Pearson is absolutely abysmal

I can handle abysmal if they don't try too hard. Gwynne's hopeless AND annoying with it! (Though others have mentioned he's a nice guy in the past tbf)

Mardle started off remarkable bearable and has started to plummet in recent times.

you can't shoot a bumbling old duffer, when there are total ****s out there.

you don't think pearson tries too hard?

Any of you ever been to the pictures and found you were the ONLY one in the audience?

Happened to me once in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Went to see Woody Allen's 'Manhattan Murder Mystery' back in around '93.  As the minutes ticked down to the screening I was congratulating myself on this rare accomplishment. As the film started I decided to relax and put my feet up in front of me. About 10 seconds after I did so, an usherette stormed in and asked me to stop doing it.

Ever had the feeling you were being watched?

well done smith. gota say lewis is awful

Poor old John got sacked by Radio Manchester from doing their cricket coverage over 10 years ago. Done well to hang on to the darts.

LOL brilliant.

I went through a phase where I went to a lot of afternoon screenings on Thursdays for a year, in fact I saw every single film for 9 months at our local fleapit. I don't think I was ever the only one in there though, although I certainly came close many times.

2 quid to watch movies in top notch empty cinema at 10 am where I am.

:o

2 quid is amazing. Also, having no smileys is annoying.

12-3 ad break coming up again

Sometimes take the girlfriend and joke that I hired out the entire cinema for her. She's not daft tho.

haha nice one h!

lewis is 1 arrogant cu nt these days. no claas at all playing smith

2 quid, superb indeed. And even better if no noisy no-marks in there, guns or no guns.

£8.30 in edinburgh no matter what time. Is it any wonder I never go

Some of the americans did think it was part of the film. Now I'm not saying they're thick but if some guy started firing bullets I wouldnt think ****ing hell this is realistic 3d aint it

Watching movies at home on 42 inch plasma tellys will kill the cinema if they insist on charging 8 quid and beyond

pmsl HH

It's really incredible the stuff they come out with sometimes. I had the same concerns as you regarding the young kids at the show and there's some other really odd stuff going down there too, like why would you booby trap your house to high heaven and then tell people?

A Russian politician is calling for the country to adopt gun laws like in the U.S., saying it's been a big success there. Obviously he doesn't follow the news.

I guess for a Russian politician's perspective, lots of Americans getting killed pointlessly can be considered a success.

Exactly my thoughts. He got caught then tells the cops my apartment is booby trapped. If you wanted to do that why go to the trouble of booby trapping it??

Spot on Alun I bought a 3d tv and unless something looks amazing I'd wait for the DVD

christ, handicap in trouble.

You can buy a gun in Walmart. Call me a cynic but that doesn't spell success

why do they have an ad break with no ads?

Yeah, it really doesn't seem the smartest plan does it.

1.01 gets gubbed and some seether pops down the shops, buys a gun and tests it out on the locals.

play about a zillion legs in a row on the "other side"

For all they're saying this was the strongest tourney ever there aint half been some short priced one sided affairs on offer

If it happened in Britain there would be a shooting daily somewhere

I usually like this tourney quite a lot, but it's been crap so far.

We're talking about golf and guns when we should be arguing if Aidy is the world number one.

I'm backing pieman and hoping his odds of 40 halve

They've got rid of most of the lurkers who've qualified over the past few years thanks to their first round losers money.

I love darts but dunno why I've found it very hard to get enthused about this

this could get interesting!

i'm fuming though.

1.01 with a bit of work on here, Could be just one break behind in a few mins.

Im not sure the four day first round helps much.

I know guys Like Caven, ovens etc aint here but is having boys like Baxter, Beaton etc really that much stronger? 2 games tonite 1/6 and 1/5 favs and then tomorrow you have taylor at about 1/14 and a couple of pretty dull looking affairs

Think id rather have 64 players and two day rounds, even if it means some matches on red button, or antisociable hours.

Adie slams the door

baxter and beaton piss on those two.

you can say piss?

LOL

This used to be an afternoon and night tournament.

Lewis playing like he's on the correct score.

Yeah probably but can you see where I'm coming from? been around for ages and never gonna win owt I would say so hard to get excited bout watching them.

Everytime I see Lewis's bird I actually think she's a puppet and someone pulls a string so she claps n smiles when he wins a leg

The pie needs to break 2/2 next few minutes, not impossible.

Lewis deserves to lose for coasting so much.

Trying to picture Wimbledon if you see Federer on the opening Monday and then not again until Friday. Think it'll kill the slow buildup effect into boredom.

Lewis has obviously worked out how Betfair operates.

In fact, I think it was during a weekday afternoon at this tournament that my favourite ever darts forum thread was started.

I'll give you a clue as to what it was, spacing it out with some asterisks to make it harder :

'W***e M*rdl* - The Sc*urge of S*c*ety'

he is playing like a complete idiot

lol alun

Ahhhhh Scourgey

Well said Mardle

what did he say HH?

It was started by some totally p!$$ed-off punter who had obviously backed Barney at 1.0x  and then had to suffer watching Scourgey giving it the big celebration after pulling off an unlikely victory from off the pace.

Basically said Lewis was throwing like he didnt care and wasnt showing any professional respect to Smithy

i quite like mardle these days. improved a lot. Not sure about the respect thing, just think he was in a weird place.

Here we go again

Go on scourgey stick the knife in

Lewis is hardly a role model. Am I right in thinking he dumped his wife, with new born child just after winning his 1st title? and replaced here with that poodle?

Yeah, terrific fighting spirit at 9-0 up v thornton!!!!

Yeah, terrific fighting spirit at 9-0 up v thornton!!!!

Yes H-Bomb you are correct

Befuddled what a great word

Arrogant and untrustworthy then.

didn't his previous poodle look exactly like that poodle?

Nah she was a brunette

MVG looks absolutely mental when he starts screaming

yep, but exactly the same except for hair colour.

Yeah pretty much. Both of em were way too good looking for that fat sweaty brute

Does anyone remember MVGs 9 darter in Holland several years ago. The leg took about 40 seconds. He's slowed down a little now.

my favourite was a bbc documentary 20 something years ago, 'Darts wives' I think. Starts with Chris Mason, showing his life at home with the missus, and how she's left at home while he goes on tour. Ends with Mason dumping here for one of his groupies, a poodle who chased him like a rottweiler.

christ, just youtubed it. forgot how different he looked!

Yeah v Barney in IDL I think. Was under 95 seconds for leg I think its on Youtube

he had hair and weighed 5 stone less

41.5 seconds from first dart to last including a couple of strolls from barney to and from the board.

Hes an incredible talent really chuffed to see him playing his best again tho

to be fair, Flintoff makes Gwynne sound good.

41 seconds is insane.

I'd struggle to throw 9 darts in 41 seconds never mind worrying where they were going

Bristow's a friendly fella too. Had a chat with him at the Worlds, seemed good guy.

Brissy's book is worth a read

bet he pulls no punches in it

just read big ron's. a whole lecture in it on how he hates racism. such a shame.

printed in the 90s, before his unfortunate mistake

Mace comes from Bristol, and that poodle was Kathy Barry,of Porn fame.   Went to prison over a dog,FACT
