Most of the conversation around the dart board here in the Lounge revolves around silly posturing and curses when a dart doesn’t fly as planned.   I started wondering the other day if the luminaries of the game have any loftier conversations.  I found this article on the BBC about some of the more memorable quotes from the game and, as it turns out, they don’t.  Here are some of my favorites:

“The other day Phil was going on about how he could not get a set of table and chairs in his Bentley. What does he want a Bentley for? It is pathetic, absolutely pathetic…I drive a nine-year old car and he rubs everyone’s noses in it by driving round in a Bentley.”

“His darts used to stick out like tulips in the board.”

“We couldn’t have more excitement if Elvis walked in and asked for a chip sandwich.”

“I asked for the air-conditioning to be turned off, because it was blowing my darts all over the shop.”

“Before a match I like to relax with 25 bottles of Holsten Pils and six steak n’ kidney pies.”

“I wasn’t nervous during the match but the streaker certainly affected my game. I just wish I’d got her name and address!”
