My game started and it was played on one off these dart board stands, our marker was a big tall black fellow, dressed in all his BDO outfit off the time, think it was
a blue jumper ,white trousers. He was turning away and looking down, then put the score up, he was the Justin Shite of markers...no fekin wonder, i kid thee not , he was using a CALCULATOR !!, he could not count :lol: :lol: ....
Kerrie Crompton could have done with a calculator at the indigo.

If you ever wanted to watch Peter Wright talk bollocks for 40+ mins, now is your chance.

Boring Brendas number one and (almost) only fan.

Smithys number one and (definitely not) only hater.

Taylor pockets mvg again
I know it was probably down to ego not wanting to get beat more than he used to but considering how much of a money hungry bastard Taylor is i'm still sometimes amazed he didn't go down the "i'll play what and when I feel like it as long as i'm qualified for stuff" route instead of retiring. He surely would have continued to bank absolute minimum £300k+ in prizemoney every year til now and probably for the next 5 or so years too.

Sure he is earning very well without the pressures of the tour

Incidentally, Taylor's been invited to Dartslive's Superdarts soft-tip shindig in March again. He was already in the 16-player field for the most recent edition in 2018, but didn't win. (Lost the final to Muramatsu 4-3.) Winner gets about £70,000.

Saw that, Leung and Krcmar also playing, on the same weekend as a ProTour and Euro Tour qualifiers. Lim, Lam, Muramatsu, Suzuki and Justicia are some of the more well-known other players there

True enough. He could have just done tv events for at least another couple of years but I guess maybe he didn't fancy the slog of the PL and at the same time maybe didn't want to be active and not involved it in.

He couldn't stand losing competitive games though, especially towards the end when he knew that peak Taylor would have smashed it
