Anyhow i went to his site and signed his guestbook as you do, and even went to the bother of creating a wallpaper solely for his site, thinking I was being friendly and hoping he might contact me and I could add his site to my link section.

He not only deleted my post, the ignorant cunt did not even have the decency to email me to let me know why, is it any wonder his site had only 13 thousand visitors in ELEVEN years with ignorant cunts like that at the helm.

So I told him so, but expect that to be deleted as soon as the miserable cunt hauls his thick mick ass out of his bed.
Moral of the story ? dont bother going out of your way to try help someone.
Thirteen thousand in 11 years? Mrs Sheen has a nail art blog (shes just launched the UKs first indie handmade nail polish colection) and had just hit 130,000 since 25 October. I didnt know if that was good or not, but she's got ten times his readers in about 4.5% of the time!

because it was the END of the year i would be more inclined to think it a lot different

burnett won the title in 95 and ended the calender year at #1
however in 96 the title was won by beaton but Adams finished #1
Beaton was #1 in 94 as he was the next highest placed after the top 16 or whatever fucked off but won nothing that year

You picked Komula in 2002, but Walton won the Lakeshite that year so hard to ntell who would have top the year ranking without delving deeper, komula reached a final i think in the masters.

I only picked Komula because I recall him being seeded #2 for Lakeside around that time. He never did that much on TV but remember these are WDF rankings not BDO, so there will be slightly more players from outside the UK/Ireland/Low Countries in the top 32.

But I really have no idea. I know Thornton made it to #1 as did Webster.
