The girls had WILLIES!
The guy’s name was Nigel or Neil or something similar, not that his name matters. He was the only foreigner, a Brit, employed among the large staff of botanists at the famous Nong Nooch Tropical Garden near Bang Saray, just east of Pattaya, Thailand. He …

Column 611
Darts in Red Square (or FUCK YOU, Putin!)
With all that is happening in the world right now (FUCK YOU, Putin!) it seems an appropriate time to revisit the 32 days I spent riding a bike through Russia. It was a pain in the butt. Literally…

A Tribute to Romy – by Mrs. Dartoid
Twelve years is a long time by any standard. It can see a child from prepubescence through adulthood, a young adult from college through marriage and a family of their own.

Column 609
My dart room is under ATTACK!

All fables have a moral (I suspect John Lowe will agree!)
Once upon a time there was a monkey. His name was Mickey. He was a dumb monkey but, he was not the president of a country.

Fortunate, humbled, sad and proud – there’s more to life than darts!
