(CAPTAIN COBS LOG)
Well, Spank my bum and call me Tiffany! The winter darts season is here already!
Much happened to anyone over the summer? I've been away on Craigo's (skipper) stag do in Southampton which most of the 'A' team attended. So much to talk about from the stag, that I'll need to do a separate page on this, BUT . . . . . . . . In summary, the highlights were:-
Night 1
Drunk alcoholic beverages!
Went to Jonglers night club/comedy store and saw the Croatian Penfold from danger mouse!
Drunk more alcoholic beverages, including test tube shots.

Breakfast boat race with WKD blue (cheers for that Hud)!
Went to the 20/20 cricket semis and final in traditional attire!
Drunk lots of alcoholic beverages!
Watched Kelvin (Liquids) consume £35 worth of food during the day!
Listening to Bumble say "The Circus is in Town"
The taxi firm messing up the pick up time/point and Paul (Hud) leaving others to sort out his mess!
Leaving me (Captain Cob) back at the hotel to watch an episode of Benidorm, with my brother staring in it. . . . . Mr Vegas!
One drink for the others, kebab, and sleep (well worth going out!!!!!!)
Day/Night 3
Wake up, have breakfast quickly in case PH has another boat race lined up!
Walk for hours sweating in the baking heat.
£20 out of the kitty to purchase a G&M cricket set from Argos.
Shaft Me (Capt Cob) with the worst bunch of cricketers in the world and get stuffed.
Kelvin disappears to the hotel as exercise and heat take its toll!
Finally find a bar with air conditioning and consume several bottles of strawberry cider.
Back to our favourite night club (walkabout) for Snake-bite Sunday and a foam party.
Watching Fluffy (Foamy) go back to school as he leads a gang of helpless idiots into the mouth of the foam machine, known to most of us as. . . . . EXTREME FOAM!

Right then, back to the darts! After all, this it what the blog is for!
Tricky game to start the season with LTFSC. Plenty of players again this year and our latest addition to the team (fresh from his initiation at Craigo's Stag) England International, Craig George (aka. SMASHER). Glad I wasn't captain for this week, that's why your best player should always be captain! Just before the opposition arrived the 'weekend sportsman' turned up, fresh from drinking with his work colleagues from around 16:00 (this may prove to be a factor later on!). Hud was now fully refreshed for his early drinking as he had 'cheated' by having a KFC. His excuse was he had to pay the taxi driver somehow (GOTTSFREECABS.COM) and that he was allowed to eat as it was just gone 'quarter to fluff'!
The draw was done! No room for the new lad SMASHER (he was away next week) and HUD was on last in case we needed him for a draw or victory (he'd be lucky to stand up, let alone throw a dart)!!! High starts seemed to be the order of the day, especially Kelvin's (Liquids) 150 start as he was my partner! We did secure a decent start and took the doubles 4 - 0. The singles followed on from the doubles as we soon made our way to victory winning the first three singles matches. Further wins followed as the Pot Black 'A' seemed unstoppable and raced to 11 - 0 lead, with only our secret weapon to go!!!!
5 minutes passed before we heard . . . . . . . . YOU ARE THE ONE AND ONLY, and the first Chesney of the season goes to Hud! We finished with some rather average performances but all fairly comfortable wins, especially for Karl Bryant! Only 4 high scores recorded this week boys (BOO!) and I think they might have all been high starts!
Other noticeable performances on the night:-
Hud's 5 of a kinds at liar dice which destroyed me! But a decent win for Bardy against Craigo in the final.
Hud's Kebab spilt in GOTTSFREECABS as he struggled to control his limbs at this point! He did manage to get out at his house (leaving the mess behind) and co-ordinate well enough to push Fluffy (Foamy) into a hedge while he was taking a leak!
I kept falling asleep in GOTTSFREECABS, but managed to wake up every time my Pizza box felt like it was going to fall!
Thanks for driving as usual Gottsy! See all of you guys again next week.
