Gary Anderson & Wesley Harms deny farting accusations at Grand Slam of Darts please log in to view this image Some athletes blame poor performances on the state of the pitch. Others blame it on tactics, or perhaps just a bad day at the office. But blaming your opponent for farting is definitely a new one. Yet that's exactly what happened at the Grand Slam of Darts in Wolverhampton, with both Gary Anderson and Wesley Harms denying responsibility for the "rotten egg smells". Two-time Scottish world champion Anderson, 47, won Friday's match 10-2 to progress to the quarter-finals, but Dutchman Harms, 34, was quick to explain his sub-standard performance by accusing Anderson of leaving a "fragrant smell". He told Dutch TV station RTL7L: "It'll take me two nights to lose this smell from my nose." World number four Anderson was not best pleased by the accusation, saying the smell had definitely come "from the table side" at the Aldersley Leisure Village. "If the boy thinks I've farted he's 1010% wrong. I swear on my children's lives that it was not my fault," he said. "I had a bad stomach once on stage before and admitted it. So I'm not going to lie about farting on stage. "Every time I walked past there was a waft of rotten eggs so that's why I was thinking it was him. "It was bad. It was a stink, then he started to play better and I thought he must have needed to get some wind out. "If somebody has done that they need to see a doctor. Seemingly he says it was me but I would admit it." https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/darts/46245993
HORRIFIED residents have spoken out after neighbours decorated the outside of their home with festive lights - in the shape of a penis. please log in to view this image The large light display appeared at the front of a home on Erleigh Road, Reading, on Sunday. It is believed to have been erected by a group of students living in the house. Stephen Bailey-Todd, 53, who lives nearby was in 'complete disbelief' when he spotted the display while out on a walk. He said: "It was quite a shock to be honest. When you walk home you just don't expect to come face to face with an enormous penis on a wall. "The lights were flashing and it is so in your face, you cannot help staring at it. I was in complete disbelief. "I know young people like to have fun, but it's deeply offensive and shows a lack of respect. The dad-of-one added: "I would hope that if they are students, their university or college takes some form of action against them. "It's not the sort of thing you would want a child to see." The display was put up only a short walk away from Reading University. https://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/...eared-on-the-front-of-a-home-on-erleigh-road/
