[tungsten tossers]

Getting difficult to hit big numbers and not busting nowadays

PDC should seriously consider having a tournament using a champions choice board.

Don't encourage him.

I know the pair of grumpy characters but why would one of them be Thorn? He doesn't strike me as being a grump.

I didn't get it either then again most references to do anything with UK TV programmes go over my head

The blood charm Dumbledore casts on Privet Drive is different from Lily's sacrificial protection. It needed a living relative (Petunia) to accept Harry and also for Harry to accept Petunia's home as his home. Of course Harry growing up would have accepted Privet Drive as his home, that was the only thing he knew. If he stopped going there altogether and stayed in the magical world, he would have had no more connection to Privet Drive and to Petunia, since he would have never willingly go back to them.

The charm is on Privet Drive but possibly it could also apply to the wider muggle world? Once Harry was in the magical world (Hogwarts), I'm not sure if the charm would protect him, since he would have needed no additional protection at Hogwarts. So the spell could be limited either to the specific location of Privet Drive, or more likely everywhere Harry goes in the muggle world when he's not at Hogwarts. But that's just me guessing

Can't argue with that

Top 10 Lakeside final winning averages:

97.58 - Phil Taylor (1992)
97.50 - Eric Bristow (1984)
97.50 - Eric Bristow (1985)
97.47 - Phil Taylor (1990)
97.08 - Andy Fordham (2004)
96.78 - Raymond van Barneveld (2005)
96.18 - Stephen Bunting (2014)
95.55 - John Walton (2001)
95.19 - Glen Durrant (2019)
95.01 - Martin Adams (2010)

Bottom 5 Lakeside final winning averages:

87.42 - John Lowe (1979)
86.43 - Scott Waites (2013)
86.10 - Eric Bristow (1981)
83.97 - John Lowe (1993)
82.44 - John Part (1994)

Not that surprising, seeing as Bunting was the third best player in the world when he was running roughshod over the rest of the BDO

Something a little more truthful is that Lowe's and Bristow's averages on there weren't Lakeside Final averages. Although I initially said top 5 Lakeside final averages; should have said BDO Final averages.

Suppose Fordham's semifinal and final averages that year are more proof of what we saw last week and most of the majors this year: what usually matters is getting through to the latter stages and then performing your best.

Having said that, Walton's performance in the final could have been as good as those of the early rounds, just that the averages would dip a bit in correlation with more sets played. An average of 94 over 9 sets, punctuated with spells of 100 or more, wins the game in the same way that an average just shy of 100 over 3 sets would.
