The one thread I actively seek to avoid getting dragged into one that is usually quite fun to read. Yep, that’s triggered an emotional response.

Rather sad. A couple of pages ago I posted a short but charming about a Norwegian explorer expressing extreme happiness in finding his final cache. Just wanted to share the emotional response.

Nobody cared…….sniff.

No need. TWAW. Trans waiters are waiters.

"When Alexander of Macedonia was 33, he cried salt tears because there were no more worlds to conquer … Bristow's only 27." Sid Waddell.

I feel there is nothing more to say about darts after this.

Sid won a scholarship to Cambridge to read History.
He knew exactly what he was doing when he came out with that classic quote.

Yes, I watched darts regularly as a kid. Sid is still, for me, the greatest sports commentator of all time.

Some of Sid Waddell's quotes are wonderful.

I'm a postmodern commentator, and so, in a cheeky parallel to James Joyce or James Kelman, I get to places, verbally, that are a little unusual - when I talk about Jocky Wilson and end up sounding like a Jackson Pollock of the commentary box.
