I'd be willing to do one about darts, yes.

Already got 40 questions saved on my computer which I recently used for a quiz for the local darts team. Wouldn't be difficult to write a load more to get to over 100.

If the interest is there why not? Would be much "fairer" as it's a subject with which we're all very familiar.

A load of the questions were taken from Daphne's 15 to 1 episode which aired at the start of 2000, when I was 10.

It was a combination of pop culture questions from before I was born, English-centric geography questions and high culture questions where you'd have to already be interested in that field to have any idea.

I could have easily went out in the first round because I didn't have a fucking clue for half those questions.

You come across very bitter. At least Sprocket just fucked off and sulked.

You mind if it's in lieu of your next competition? Some day next week depending on peoples' availability.

The comps depend very much on demand, if you get interest run it when you like, kid.

Not a bit. You've took a few hours out of your day to put on a competition, which is a good thing.

At the end of the day I didn't deserve to get to the final let alone win. Tommo and Sprocket were much stronger players on those subjects.

If I'd won I would have said the exact same thing, and while I was winning I was constantly saying things like "not going anywhere near that one".

Sorry I missed the climax, just crashed out. Congrats Tommo, that's how to play to game and fair play Dandy, you put a lot of effort into it.

Was very enjoyable

I thought I was up in another two or three weeks for another one about darts?

If there's interest I have enough questions to do one tonight, probably too short notice though.
