Dartoid:

Column 344
Malice at the Palace

Last night, between re-reading and my mortification at all the typographical errors in yesterday’s furiously written column about the semi-finals and trying to find a good kebab, I had a chance to do more than just admire the photographs of Helen Chamberlain and Juicy Lucy in the first issue of the Professional Darts Corporation’s (PDC) new magazine, 180. What a publication!

For example, I’ll bet you didn’t know (and you’ll probably wish you didn’t as soon as you finish this sentence) that Wayne Mardle once autographed some bloke’s penis! It’s disgusting but true.

Here’s another tidbit from Hawaii 501 in response to an interviewer’s question about pranks and darts…

“A few years ago, Alan Warriner-Little was on a flight to the States and sitting next to the American player Steve Brown. Anyway, Steve had these thick-rimmed glasses and was sparko, so Alan thought it would be funny if we rubbed butter all over his lenses, then shout ‘We’re going to crash!’ Steve’s woken up, can’t see a thing because of the butter and starts screaming like a girl!”

Sorry Chunky!

I’m telling you, you MUST subscribe to this magazine. Subscription details can be found at the PDC website soon.

So today’s The Day, the Final Chapter of the 2009 World Championship.

Phil Taylor versus Raymond van Barneveld.

England versus Holland.

Thirteen-time world champion versus five-time world champion.

The Power versus The Man.
