Roe or Wade?
It was just Mother’s Day weekend and in the USA’s non-contagious 50 states debate has erupted over Roe vs. Wade.
The PDC debate?
Wade vs. ALL – as the Premier League arrives in Scotland. It’s a night of undisrupted sleep for the sheep with men enjoying …

The ODC’s “rubber” meets the road on the Premier Asia Darts League Tour.
Anyone remember the tyre commercial that used the theme “Where the rubber meets the road”? Well that’s where the Premier League 2011 found itself with just two weeks remaining. It was put up or shut up …

SMOKE THIS you 6-10 split, gap-toothed English wanker!
Willie Nelson sang about being “On the Road Again” with such joy that it’s 100% sure that he’s never been on the road with the Old Dart Coach.
Neither could you use Chicago’s “Saturday in the Park” to describe the experience. …

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!

A Night of Shame
There is a very fine line between a “great sporting crowd” and a “mob of hooligans.” During the period of the Roman Empire thousands would gather in the Coliseum in the name of sport. Often that “sport” matched Christians against lions or slaves against bears. …

Is “with” a preposition?
English teachers implore students to “never end a sentence with a preposition.” As the rule doesn’t apply to those who don’t know what a preposition is it’s a mystery why this rule is so important. One of the two people who regularly read this effort …

The “Good Ship Taylor” is on the Prowl!
When it comes to sports TV commentators no one in the world can match golf’s David Ferriday. Englishman Ferriday, like those who saw the error of their ways hopping aboard the Mayflower, now resides in the USA. His knowledge of golf …

Butler! King! Baxter! Croft?
The Old Dart Coach’s past mention that many tournaments have faded into the sunset was true but failed to acknowledge those that are still going strong. One of those is the $15,000 Camilla Classic held annually in Nueva Helvetia, California. WTF is a Nueva Helvetia? …
