I agree with that but trust me (and the stats back me up) pitching a perfect game is much rarer than a 147 or a 9 darter.

Just had a look there has only been 46 televised 9 darters across both codes in the last 42 years with multiple televised competitions every year.......how rare is it to hit a perfect 300 in bowling....again never played so don't a lot about bowling.

"Televised" ....... how many when the cameras weren't there? I remember seeing good 'ole Ronnie at an exhibition game once and he got one that night. (I believe my highest ever break was just over 50 and I think I hit a 15 darter once in a competition - when I was young and could see the other side of the table/dartboard .....)

The first one ever was John Lowe back in 84 in which he won £102,000 (lot of money back then) and amazingly Eric Bristow 5 time world champ never hit one on tv.
My record for snooker is 33 (hence I don't play) but darts I have hit 2 X 10 darts in my prime.....nowadays when I play a 12 darter is pretty damn good now.

Edit also a 30 darter is not uncommon <laugh>

Actually, based on my last few rounds, I'd be very happy to be going round in an average of 2 shots over per hole .............. Managed a stupendous round of 121 today with an uncanny ability to put the ball in any water which happened to be around. Not yet in bandit territory, unfortunately :emoticon-0105-wink:

Another month or two and I'll get my diary out.

I went to see the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden a few years ago - went for hot dogs at half time, and they`d sold out ! What kind of micky mouse sport is that ?

Nice. Good song and vid - hope it's not too "avant garde" for those who do playlists, etc. Good luck to her (and you of course!)

It is too left field for the radio guys. This song is pretty much 'gone' (we pushed it pre-Xmas) - we were just wanting to get the video out.

That's very honest of me! It got played once on 6, but the others were a bit scared of it.

Might have some interest from Russia though....

Thought it might be - I don't see Steve Wright playing it :emoticon-0105-wink:

I've sent it to my mate in the US who has an online show showcasing new music. Fingers crossed, he may like it and play it - no harm in it, is there?

Hope you don't mind.
