Of course it is. I don't think that's what is being questioned here is it?

Exactly. Abbott has been the victim of appalling abuse from Labour employees and staffers, as well as members of the PLP. It’s been nearly a year since she had the whip removed, she apologised the same day yet the investigation is still ongoing? Even though since there have been white blokes having the whip removed for the same charge but restored? It’s factional and it’s horrible. 
 

If Starmer really cared about the abuse Abbott receives, he’d deal with the people within his party who dish it out to her. To use her situation to fundraise when you won’t even help her with the abuse is galling. 

Coincidentally/tin foilly, there’s been a few puff pieces on the the Marchioness of Chomondeley in the papers in the last week. She is William’s pegger and has a 13 year old son that’s rumoured to be his. If he acknowledges it’s his kid, there’s a claim that he is William’s heir. 
 

I doubt the above but I wouldn’t be surprised if Kate has had enough of his cheating and won’t play ball, so they’re doing a soft launch of the woman who will be his new wife.

Alright, I've played along and edited my post to piss off SuperBacon, smart guy. 

To be honest, I haven’t played in years and years so I can’t comment on the current feeling. Maybe @TheBurningRed can help?  (EDIT - Ha, as I was typing he replied!) When I played it was more team based, with men and women’s divisions in county and super league. Individual tournaments were open to all. There was always a stigma/piss taking if you lost to a woman though and I’m sure that persists at local level. Sure we discussed it earlier in the thread but darts is about opportunity more than anything, and because it’s a male centric game with male centric culture, those opportunities aren’t always there for women. That’s why, like chess, the women’s game is to try and entice women into it. 
 

Regarding the women playing in top tournaments, it’s not really an issue as it’s all merit based. Saying that though, Sharrock got a bit of favour as she was part of girls getting into the game, like Littler is with youngsters. It would only be an issue if someone born male took part in a woman’s tournament to be honest.

What's the general attitude about darts

The consensus is that it’s the finest sport known to humanity.

Probably for the same reason men and women's chess was separated. The men are scared of the embarrassment of being beaten by women. Dickheads.

Men and women’s chess was separated because of systemic misogyny and abuse toward women, and in an attempt to attract women back to the sport/game. I’d warrant the same goes for eSports given some of the conversations I’ve seen about the abuse female gamers get.

A mate who I used to work with has posted on his Facebook that he bought this of his own free will and with his own money. He’s got a daughter, for fucks sake. 

When they gave me a mobility scooter at the baseball to get to the stadium, that was the signage they used for the accelerator. I really wanted to take the thing home with me, it was well skill.

the titles are irrelevant

That’s the last decade or so of boxing summed up. 

“Wilfully Oblivious” is essentially a don’t ask don’t tell. It isn’t trying to say he’s completely innocent and all the wrongdoing went on without him having any knowledge of it. It’s more a “Don’t tell me about any of that stuff, please”. Like if you knew a mate or work colleague was having an affair but didn’t want to know details or have it talked about around you, so it’s all just rumours and innuendo should it ever be asked what you knew about it. 
 

That’s how I read it anyway, and it doesn’t make it right or anything like that. 

Karl Wallinger of World Party and formerly of The Waterboys has died. 

30p Lee defects to the Reform Party. He’s changed his mind again about which party to be a part of. It appears he’s also changed his mind about defectors having to have a mandatory bye election as well.

I love the fact that @Lion_of_the_Midlands made a big song and dance about putting me on ignore because I made him cry a while back, yet is still engaging in discussions regarding me. 

A bit like when Dwight put Andy on "shun" in The Office. 

You’re a ratings draw, that’s why!

I had two sisters who had a different Dad to me (they both had the same Dad) and I have never ever referred to them as anything other than my sisters. 

 

But it’s different calling someone your son when his actual dad is still in his life.

I’ve read this at least 10 times and I think I’m missing something because surely your daughters 12 year old brother would be your son?

The daughters mother had a boy from a different relationship is how I read it.

Nice work, was this on Xbox? I can’t seem to find the offer anywhere but would fancy a bit of that.

Yeah it was a Game Pass subscriber deal. Might have only been for a day though. 

The EA golf game was 90% off, I had a fiver in points so got it for tree fiddy. It’s really good, prefer it to the 2k game. Speaking of 2k, just seen NBA 24 is coming to game pass tomorrow! Nice one.

And only a fortnight to MLB 24. Obviously it’s annoyed men because you can play as a woman in career mode. They, like me, make a super jacked version of themselves and wins the Cy Young or HR Derby every year but women in the game takes away realism.
 

Mate, you’re complaining about realism? I won back to back World Series with the White Sox so realism got crammed up your shitpipe a long time ago.

that it was my first full boxing card I've watched

That does explain your reaction to the KO to be fair. 
 

Did Warren say anything after the Big Bang Zhang decision? Because he was crying when Vargas didn’t lose after getting floored twice.
