OT The Darts

[ramAnag]

Are you referencing that man of Reigate Grammer, Keir Starmer?

He’s the exception that proves the rule...but no...I was referencing the ‘Red Wall’. All sounds a bit GoT but this is the year we retake the ‘wall’.

Anyway, back on topic, large young Luke stands no chance in SPOTY now as slimmed down not quite so young Luke was the winner apparently. You’ll be surprised that I was rubbish at 501...always got the maths wrong, but it’s a great way to teach kids subtraction and multiplication.

A bit GoT ?? Did you mean OTT?

Young Luke is however a Red Mank fan, so given his allegiance to Manchester he will be a SPOTY shoo in (or YSPOTY)

Or, as a wise man once said...

So...a thread about a young plump lad playing darts leads to philosophical debate about sport v games, age, the next election, Westeros, Walmington on Sea, GP’s conspiracy theories over SPOTY and whatever Andy’s on about (sorry, no idea)...who’da thought?

I'm thinking it's an oblique reference to you converting a sports thread into a politics one?? (again?)

I’ve tried direct. It doesn’t work

[MadAmster]

I’ve tried Direct.

Bought loads of stuff off them through the years. Great price/quality.

Hmmm...but wasn’t it you who introduced ‘politics’ in post 14? Physician heal thyself.

No it wasn’t, happy to have corrected you

Hang on...not looking for a fight (we haven’t had one of those for ages)...but is it not the case that you introduced the issue of ‘minorities’ into the chat, GP ran with it in terms of harmless banter (northerners being minorities) and I took it a little further with more banter about the ‘red (northern) wall’.
If I’m wrong please feel free to explain why - saying ‘no it wasn’t’ isn’t an explanation - but I honestly think your crack about him not being a ‘minority’ so therefore unlikely to be a contender for SPOTY was the trigger.
