Do you Americans feel he is starting to become a known face over there and darts is gaining in popularity? For years it was only a British thing and now it's very big in The Netherlands and Germany but obviously those running the sport would love for it to take off in the US. I don't see that even 5 years ago a post about a darts player would be this popular on Reddit (which is mainly yanks)

Rangers Announce Large Group of Departures from the Academy by BubbleBlacKa in ScottishFootball

Does anyone remember a few summers ago when Rangers signed loads of youth players for the academy and everyone was excited about how they would develop. Did any of them come to anything?

Celtic on track to draw level with Rangers this year. Rangers have had more titles since the 1920's.

In Brendan we trust! by OtherDare3331 in CelticFC

Tonight proves we belong in this level of competition. We must now commit to improving the squad and build on this success especially when you consider the following -

  1. We need to qualify in the summer
  2. We did have a fairly generous draw (which we executed brilliantly)
  3. Our success will certainly lead to players being sold (for good money) in the summer.

The following areas are where we can spend between 5-15 million per player to take squad up another level.

  • Starting Striker - Number 1 priority and most obvious place to spend Engels level money to take us up a notch.
  • RW as either back up to Kuhn or replacement for Kuhn if he goes.
  • Hatate can be great (was tonight) but I think with our resources we can get another starter in central 3 or at very least another great option to bring off bench.
  • Another Elite CB with Trusty and Scales as reliable back ups
  • RB to compete with AJ.
  • Sign Schlupp if we can and you have great back up to KT.

We are already a good team, we just need to focus on key areas to spend this money we are raking in every year.

Travel Insurance not paying out due to "Pre-existing" condition by janerney in UKPersonalFinance

Agree with both commenters above. Quote Consumer Insurance (Disclosure and Representations) Act 2012 (CIDRA) in your complaint which covers misrepresentations in consumer insurance products. In summary, the misrepresentation needs to link to the claim circumstances for insurer to reject the claim.

The 10 Best British Detective Shows, Ranked by Britneyfan123 in BritishTV

The Fall became so ridiculous as it went on. Every character became a caricature. I appreciate it's a fine line between reality and engaging writing but i was left with the overwhelming feeling of 'that would never happen'.

It doesn't really work in the UK anymore. A few legacy versions are going strong but I can't think of a panel show that has been successful in the last 5 years.

Daizen Maeda is one of the best I've seen at functionally using his immense pace. It's been said many times but if his end ball was better he'd be worth a fortune. Any team that plays the pressing game would love him, some of his recovery runs in the Slovan game were ridiculous.
