CONGRATULATIONS JOHN PART!
Massive CONGRATULATIONS are due three-times world champion John Part, who just the other night was inducted into the PDC Hall of Fame.

It is TRUE!
Her name is Yvonne Whitfield. Until a chance meeting a couple of years ago I hadn’t thought of her, let alone seen her, since 1974. She recognized me. I don’t know how – I look nothing like I did all those years ago.

Some excitement. Some disappointments.
As readers may have gathered, Dartoid’s World experienced another hack of some kind November. All is now resolved and we’re back to normal, or abnormal, depending on your perspective. The hack has been traced to either the Russians or the ADO.
Of course, all attention …

It’s Halloween! Or Punky Night, if you live in Somerset, England!
This evening, as we in America toss Tootsie Rolls into sacks thrust at us by sticky little children cleverly disguised as sticky little children in sheets, across the pond in Somerset, the Brits are handing out goodies to …

Please help cute Katie run again!
If you’re a regular reader of this column you will be aware that only occasionally does Dartoid yield his opinionated (some say disgusting) persona to his creator. In fact, over the past 20 years and through 500+ columns about darts Dartoid has stepped …

Clinton or Trump: Who do you pick for your darts team?
With the debates on and the presidential election about to enter the homestretch, and with pretty much 100 percent of the electorate on record as despising one or the other of the two major party candidates, now is …

Solutions
It has been said solutions to the ADO’s woes have not been offered, that only unfair bashing occurs.

A little bit O’ Seoul
In 1995, some friends and I rode bicycles from Dublin to Moscow. At a clip of about 75 miles a day, the 2,500-mile journey took a month. Two lonely weeks were spent monotonously plodding along the desolate old gulag inmate-built Trans-Siberian Highway. Early on, …

Let’s hope the rumors aren’t true!
We hear it all the time, have for years. Complaints. Excuses. Blaming. And a wish!
