  1. The chorus bit (if you can call it that) off Birdland by Weather Report is one between me and my brother. 

     

    During the 2004 BDO World darts championship on the BBC, probably the BDOs last great one, in the afternoon sessions on BBC 2 they had a phone in competition called Throw For Dough, and 5 lucky members of the Great British Public who've phoned in over the week with the correct score Bobby George scored as it played went to Throw For Dough highest score in three darts during the interval of the final. Some old biddy won with like 32.

     

    But when they shown the score you had to phone in with it was the Glam Rock Fred West (courtesy of Woy, that), and the chorus bit of Birdland played. So whenever me and my brother are our and anyone mentions darts to us we start Hugh Laurie from a Bit of Fry and Laurie while Fry mixed a drink saxophoning it.

     

    It's shit, but it's entertained me and my brother for 17 years. The tune is from about 1:56 on this video for those who don't like Jazz Fusion. 

    Also, Astro Farm on CITV owes this song a writing credit. 

     

  2. Moreover, why are the BOC pumping all this money into the already rich rowers, and we were still beaten by the potato mixed grill guys, when we should be looking into BMX and Wall climbers who haven't got a pot to piss in? 

  3. Just got home from the local and given AEW a on ITV. Lance Hoyt not being really tall enough to do the Nash ropes thing, an exchange of forearms that Candice Michelle would be embarrassed by, and him just offering his back for Moxley for a minute to get twatted by a stick. Then almost at random a criss crossnwith the two. 

     

    That's in the first 3 minutes. I'm not watching that. It's dogshit. 

     

    Wrestling in general is dogshit, but that was inexcusable 

  4. I was too busy enjoying myself to take many photos. But the old course in Nefyn is the most beautiful place I've ever played and a super fun challenge. 

     

    Royal St Davids was far too hard and not even a fun course but the blue 9, old course, in Nefyn is gorgeous. The first is a 300 yard par 4 where the first 250 are straight and flat  then the green sits atop a fucking vertical 100ft cliff! The 4th is a 170 par 3 where you can either play over a ravine to get to the green, or you can go the long alway around. We thought we're only here once so go for it and two of us made the green (I was one with my 3 wood) 

     

    And the 6th is a fucking amazing 130 par 3 from the coastguard watch tower onto a green on a fucking island essentially. I made it ten foot away with my 6!

     

    Then three putted the fucker. 

     

    Honestly. Nefyn Golf course is the finest course I've ever played. It's stunning. 

     

    Abersoch on Friday was half links and half park. A nice course, but after thrashing it on the links for 2 and a half rounds, the park bit was a piece of piss and I broke 90. 

     

    Nefyn is 38 pound green fees, and that's an absolute bargain.
