I never understood why the only place I ever see darts (sharp pointy things) being played is amongst copious amounts of alcohol consumption. Never once do I se it in sobriety.

meat 0 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Beer is an important part of darts. Didn't you know? Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I remember when Jon Lowe did it the first time on tv. It was one of the few times he broke into a smile! Once they got popular, darts and snooker went the way of boxing with breakaway organisations trying to cash in. It kind of killed them both. Sid Waddell is still a legend though.

snowdude 44 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Darts and snooker is great, I used to watch them both all the time! Oh yeah and play both, even went in for competitions at my local clubs, with an odd beer or two was great! Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I vaguely remember watching Dennis Taylor play (probably Higgins) and there were 2 pints of lager on the table where the players sit....loads fag ends as well in the ashtray Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Funny isn't it. I wonder if they would play better while not under the influence? Link to post Share on other sites
