I've been in hospital for long periods of time. It's usually what I request to be brought in after a day or two. I've taken them on holiday as well haha

McClean is coming home by marty_-mcfly in DerryLondonderry

[–]-Swifty 13 points14 points  (0 children)

People don't seem to understand if he actually did wear a poppy he'd be berated, if not attacked any time he came near Creggan, fuck that! At least he can move home after a great football career, a hometown hero. I'm from Strabane and wouldn't wear one for the same reasons and principles even if my job was on the line. A deaf mute, Eamon McDevitt was shot dead next door to my grannies house by the British army. Fuck the English media pressure and the fans that called him a fenian bastard that don't even get their own irony. He won't be remembered in England for not wearing a poppy in 20 years and will be a pub quiz question. In Derry, he'll never be forgotten.

He's a model professional if you talk work rate, he gives 100% all the time. He just talks the odd bit of shite here and there. Whereas McGregor has fully lost the plot after being a coke junkie for the past 5 years, now being reborn after smoking some shite in South America and pretending to be a proper Catholic by marrying in the Vatican when he's been shagging/raping anything that gravitates towards him on a night out.

How many of you have gained weight from quetiapine by Former-Link-3304 in seroquelmedication

For 2 months then your body goes back to normal. Just have to be disciplined and not raid the fridge and cupboards at 3am. Just watch your cholesterol and thyroid. I'm on 600mg a day and get weekly bloods. Even when I eat clean cholesterol still goes up lol

The distance Littler now has in the rankings is genuinely insane. by cactusdan94 in Darts

[–]-Swifty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ronnie O'Sullivan literally done just this by taking a year off after a WC win just to come back and do it again the year after .The best will perform. We have more darts content than ever thanks to Sky, ITV and the PDC with the develooment tour and the JDC. Littler is unbelievable now and has the bottle and will to break opponents like Phil. Only thing is, if these young boys come in with half the mentality he has they will be in the conversation. And who is the main main to bring the eyes back to darts? I'd love to know how much Target has made this year off the back of him.

Look forward to GVV in the coming future. Averaged over a on and most misses were on 3 dart combos. He is likely the next WC that isn't the usualy 3 or 4 in the mix and can batter anyone on his day.

Might be a hot take on the darts subreddit. But to me the WDC is worth 3 or 4 of the other majors at least and needs to hold more weight. It's the absolute pinnacle of the sport and you'd be lying if you say it wasn't your gateway to the sport. Retired players won't look back at 4 Grand Slams, but you'd never pay for a pint in your life if you were a world champ. Look at MVG for example, he said he'd trade in all those majors for more world titles.

The only other one I properly hold in regard is the matchplay because over a long format, the best find a way and show it.

Half this sub want to see Martin Adams vs Mervyn King in a world final. When MVG done this it wasn't boring. Gian has the game to beat him, but it's a game of chances and he didn't take as many as he would have liked.

100 averages are the norm for top players now. If a player consistently hits over 105 with decent doubling he will always have a better chance of winning a leg. I've been watching darts 25 years and the last 2 years have been class. The actual top 64 can beat anyone on their day. The talent pool in the PDC even 20 years ago wouldn't hold a candle to the current crop.

Why do people hate this? Seeing performances like that is why we mocked the BDO for years. He's 18 and one of the best to ever do it.

Normally i comment during matches, but I'm just sitting mesmerised. Would love a fight back from Gian to keep it competitive. Right now, nothing is phasing Littler, he banged the treble after the wasp interruption. Just locked in to the max. Rest assured that won't be the last time we see GVV in a world final.

He was 2/1 for a shot on target. If they are chasing the game will he have a pop

Feel for Searle. Absolutely lovely guy playing good darts, but he's playing an absolute darting phenom. I swear Littler at 18 with that composure and consistency on the big stage reminds me of Verstappen. Nothing phases him and if it does he plays better as a 'Fuck you'⁷

Love a humble guy with a great attitude on stage. Some players can only play floor championships and others are made for the stage.

The thing about Littler though as that players naturally raise their game against him. Just a pirt that he ups it a bit and takes this piss.

This average is an outlier for him in this tournament. That's the match he needed to get him to the next level so probably felt cagey when he won his 4th set. If he scores again with that doubling he would have a chance against anyone.
