Wedding Bells

Just back from London after my mad couple of days at that wedding i was telling you about. I'll have a few photos up on the site in the next couple of days so you can see them. A great one of Gary Mason. Jesus he is a big bastard. 24 stone to be exact and I would not like to get a dig off him. In the 2 days their we had people tripping up people flashing people dancing cheering and generally talking bollox. I even made a speech after about 10 pints but nobody could understand my accent at that time of the night. We had a crazy booky who gave Ritchie and Harvey 10/1 on Scotland and 9/1 on Sir OJ who bought won by the way.

Speaking of crazy bookies. I was amazed to see the other day that on Odds Checker Bristowe is 2000/1 for the next World Championships whereas Harvey is 4000/1. We got some good laughs off that one. Bristowe cant play any more and he is ahead of Harvey.Maybe that bookie read about the bucking Bronco a few weeks ago but if you go into odds checker you will see exactly that.

Checked there today and saw that there was 6 comments on my last write up. My webmaster Conny text me about an hour ago and said there are 2 more to go on it too that he'll publish tomorrow. I cant use the daily blogs to get into debates about darts the whole time. I had my factual opinion and anonymous had his. I do honestly welcome that though as it does generate interest and as we know all sport is made up with matters of opinion and sometimes they can be a bit off the rails like in this case but i do sincerely welcome them. Read the comments and am only scratching my head with one of them but thats the way it so so thats that. Maybe anonymous will come to purfleet this year and might change his mind. He might even come to the exhibition with Wozza and Part next week. He can come over and buy me a pint if he wants.

Speaking of Exhibitions the decision to award the FREE exhibition that i spoke about last week has been decided. It will be held in O Briens lounge in Timolin, Co.Kildare and they were informed of that today as promised and the fact that we will be picked us up in a limosine had nothing to do with our decision though. It is provisonally booked for Sunday night 22nd October. The night before the Grand Prix starts. The top 10 player who the exhibition is with will play on the opening night in the Citywest so that might give O Briens an idea of who it is. The MC on the evening will be Mr Phil Jones who will return from the PDC at the finals night of the Worlds so it'll be good to have him over for the night too.
