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

I’ve tried Direct.

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

Ah, when is a sport not a game or even when is a game not a sport.
Now, if I recall there will be several 'sports' in the Olympic 'Games' later this year! Apparently chucking a particularly long dart(known as a javelin) is a sport but a small dart isn't. Similarly, firing a gun or aiming an arrow at a target are sports but darts isn't. Footie is both a sport and a game, all aussies are supposed to be good sports (now that's a joke).
I think I'll stop whilst I'm winning............. hang on if I'm winning I must have played a game or was it a sport🤔

I was in the local market yesterday and on the butchers stall there was a lot of sport hanging up - pheasants, partridge, hares. Next to this stall was a greengrocer, where one of my favorite games, a red grapefruit was on sale.

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