Bring on a DEATH CHAT!!!

Well after I quit playing darts in 1984, I'm off to warm up for the finals in the A-League here in S.F. It is my first season back since 1984 so it would be cool to win.

But really could I be good at anything more obscure?:p
 
Congratualtions, Tony!! :thumbup: :cool:

Clearly, you must now devote yourself to darting to maintain your winning form. So, send me your bikes and your INFI, and I will put them to good use. :D

I was nice to win again. :thumbup: And it was a very tight match we won 8-6 (first to 8 games wins). But before the final game the lead was never more than one game and the lead changed hands at least three times.

The championship trophy goes back to the early 70's and this is the fifth time one of my teams is on it. Four times from 1980 -1984 and now 22 years later. There is another older guy we know that wants to play next year. He use to travel to England and play in the world championships. He is a truly great player. His only problem is that he likes to fight. I got lucky and beat him in the finals of a local tournament in the mid '80s and he nearly took my head off. And we were friends! :eek:

As far as bicycles and hobbies... tell me about it! My girlfriend keeps trying to get me into rock climbing and all I ever say to her is "That is all I need... another hobby."

I really need to retire from work!

Cameras got worse in 25 years!
 
Are those five guys in the now picture in the top B&W picture too? Or just a few? Just you?

Just me.

I understand that the two tall guys on the right and the guy holding the cup have passed away.

Although it is likely that the guy on the right back of the new photo was on the team we beat in 1982/3. He has been good for a very long time.

I'm a "liberal" with respect to human rights, funding public education and government policy that would prevent things like Enron. Republican on all else. So what are you wishing me?
