ANCHORMAN BARDYTrying to keep up to date with all of these blogs! - Even busier this week!!!
Away to the Pot Black 'B' this week. Lovely, no calling or chalking!
The 'B' side managed to beat the Ex Serv HG in their first encounter 8 - 4 then got destroyed in their rematch 10 -2. We had the upper hand when we met them earlier in the season 11 - 1 (I think) so was it to be a reversal???
Skip had done the draw, but surprisingly to most of us left himself out of the singles! Serious was on water for the second week running so we had a few doubts to start with! All these doubts seemed to be put to one side as we took the first two doubles matches. Third doubles was me & HUD vs Bungle and Legend! A decent standard of darts for 3 of us, as I somehow managed to keep us in the leg! Bungle missed a shot at the Bull, then HUD wasted his opportunity to actually do something in the leg (Nice new darts though HUD!). Legend fired wide of double 4 with two darts before we went 0 - 3 in front.
Then.........
By the time HUD had got the round in and drained his bladder he was on in the singles! No chance of nerves getting to him expecting to be in line for a Chesney as we were pulled back to 3 - 3 with Sheepy losing a tight game against Tony and Liquids failing to convince me with his new darts which are Phil 'the power' Taylor phase 4.293825193047364 darts! HUD responded well by never looking at all involved in the leg as the 'B' side edged ahead 4 - 3. Next up was our banker against pressure, The Snatch-u-ral. Another great week of singles mate, Doh! The score now 5 - 3 to the 'B' side. Before you say it Eddy, yes I'm still grateful you came through against Graham Pavey!
Smasher up next who's been our best singles performer this year and was keen to put his defeat last week behind him. Nice darts 'Chins' as the score went a little closer at 5 - 4.
Next was our iron man of darts 'Serious'. He knew the importance of the game and desperately wanted to win this game! Was it the water then or the fact that he tried too hard? The 'B' side had now claimed their first draw against us but were not content with drawing the match.
Capt cob vs the Legend was next and he kept me on my toes. After establishing a lead in the leg, yet again more wasted doubles for me as I struggle to close out legs and gave legend a shot at double top! No more chances I thought, and I was right for a change! 6 - 5 the score now stood and lots to win for both sides.
The 'B' were chasing the ultimate bragging rights and it would be a noticeable victory on their already fine achievements this season. The 'A' were trying to keep their noses in front of their arch rivals by winning and staying 1 point clear at the top of the league.
Oz vs Bardy. If you need to rely on a player you'd love to have Bardy on last! What a fantastic leg of darts we saw with both players missing shots at the double. Finally the leg was over and the result was . . . . . . . . 6 - 6.
On reflection of the overall match the score based on first dart at a double should have been 7v5 to the B Team
Well done and hard luck to the 'B' side as they were worth the win!
Other Matters
1/ Lincoln wins first game of Liar dice (second one doesn't count)
2/ Will we have a facebook wedding later in the year? (At least the free taxi service has resumed normal service)
3/ Does a straight in poker dice beat a '4 of a kind' or a 'full house' ? Fluffy seems to think so!
Wikipedia suggests that a straight is higher than a full house (based on it's probability) but nowhere near a four of a kind! In defence every other site I have checked shows the full house being higher! Which is correct? I'd ask Wally but he'll just say a three of a kind is higher!

Jimmy Carr Quotes...
I saw a charity appeal in the Guardian the other day, and it read "Little Zuki has to walk 13 miles a day just to fetch water". And I couldn't help thinking, she should move.
I did a gig in the US once for the homeless. I said "It's nice to see so many bums on seats".
British scientists have demonstrated that cigarettes can harm your children. Fair enough. Use an ashtray!
There was one time where I failed to perform sexually. My girlfriend said to me "oh don't worry, it happens to a lot of guys". Ok, there are two things wrong with that. First of all who are these other guys?, and second of all if it's happening to more than one of us, don't you think it could be YOUR fault?
My girlfriend said she wanted me to tease her, so I said "Alright, fatty."
Throwing acid is wrong, in some people's eyes.
A big girl once came up to me after a show and said "I think you're fatist." I said "No, no. I think you're fattest."
